Harvesting of 5000
Acres of Peas

Sharp drop in the grape
fruit market, due largely
to the poor quality Of Ari-
zona fruit shipped to coast
and northwestern markets,
has been reported by B. A. Har-
rigan. agricultural commissioner IN
this monthly report to the super
visors
Grapefruit shipments during the
past month have continued steady
but are approximately 25 per cent
less than that of last year, Grow
ers have reported from 60-70 per
cent crop and anticipate a better
late market.
Harvest of fall peas has started
with an acreage in excess OF 9OOO
acres Early paintings were dam
aged by worms but the acreage
generally is good Spring pea
paintings approximate 4500 acres.
Early paintings of lettuce are
doing we'll with good stand. Some
difficulty has been encountered In
getting thinners to work in the
field, this being due more to a
lack of laborers than wage ques-
tionS.
Heavy shipments of alfalfa seed
into the county during the past
month are indicative of con-
siderable acreage to be either
planted or re-seeded. Hay ship
ments for the month were lower
than for October of 1895 by 10000
tons. The market has held steady
In the control work the office

Government income has been
mounting steadily during the past
two years and is expected to be
boosted still more by continued
prosperity and added revenue from
tax laws passed by congress last

however, will exceed income
Some federal economies are plan
ned to bring expenditures more in
line with income. Among these is
consolidation of several bureaus,
especially agencies created to deal
with the depression.
1t is expected that the public
debt, now $33,822 900, 900 will reach
approximately $35, 5,000, ,00O,000 before
the treasury turns the corner" and
starts reductions. A relief appro-
priation of at least ST 100000, 900 by
the next congress is expected.
Ordinary government expendi-
tures-excepting relief-already are
within the federal income. The
new corporation surplus tax upon
which collections will begin next
year is estimated to yield approx
imately S700,000,000 a year.

MACHINERY OF
old AGE PLAN
MADE PUBLIC
Postoffice Employees
Will Distribute
Annuity Cards

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.
(UP)-The social security
board announced plans to-
day for placing in operation
the old-age security pro-
gram for workers on JAN l.
Post office employees will begin
Immediately the distribution OF
identification cards and forms to
employers and employees to entitle
workers to annuities when they
reach the age of IS.
The plan calls for employers to
deduct one per cent of the wages
of all eligible workers beginning
Jan. to be paid into the trea-
sury.
Employers will contribute like
amount to go into the general
treasury account for use toward
the payment of annuities. These
deductions will increase until en-
ploye and the employer each is
contributing three per cent of the
workers wages.
All persons working for salary
or wages, excepting those engaged
in agriculture, domestic services in
private homes, government service
and a few other excluded occupa-
tions, are eligible.
The plan, the board said, will
enable millions of workers to re-
tire at the age of 65 with a MONTH
ly income for life, the amount of
the income being based on their
previous wage records. If the
worker dies before reaching 65
stored up cash values will be
paid to his family.
The application forms will be
delivered within the next few
weeks, the board said AS soon as
full information has been supplied
postmasters, employers and en-
ployeS may obtain full informa-
ton from all postoffices.
