Grain Inventory
Shows Supply
Increase in U.S..

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. (UP)-
The Agriculture Department re-
ported today that farmers held L.
8l0,218,00O bushels of corn on Jan.
l, compared with 1,914,184,0 900 bu-
shells on the corresponding date
last year.
Wheat stocks on farms on Jan. l
totaled 1882 900 bushels. an in
crease of nearly 50,00O,000 bushels
over the previous year. Wheat
stocks are the largest on record,
except for 1882.
Stocks of cats amounted to 1872
0l9,000 bushels, an increase of 199,-
000,00O bushels.
The Jan. l inventory of grain and
hay on farms showed a volume
slightly above those of the past two
years and considerably above the
average of the past 10 years. Corn
stocks on farms were 80 per cent
larger than the 1930-39 average.
The department estimated the
1904 marketing season orange
crop at 80,327 900 boxes, a decrease
OF two per cent from the Dec.
forecast. The decrease resulted
from continued dry weather in
Florida and frost damage in the
San Joaquin Valley in California
The total U. S. grapefruit crop
this season was estimated at 39.-
$4,000 boxes, compared with 34,-
$4,000 boxes last year.

guns and other equipment now in
the hands of the U. S. army and
navy cannot be disposed of unless
the chief of staff or chief of naval
operations certify that they are not
essential TO the United States own
defense. The administration bill
would waive this restriction. The
bill. for instance, conceivably would
permit release of the secret naval

gifts of war materials. The bill as
drafted would authorize the presi-
dent ITO sell, transfer, exchange,
lease, lend, or otherwise dispose Of
such material. 1t provides merely
that the terms on which this is
done shall be those which the
president deems satisfactory, ana
the benefit to the United States
may be payment or repayment in
kind or property, or any other direct
or indirect benefit which the pres
ident deems satisfactory
The indirect benefit" clause, it
was contended, left the way open
for outright gifts.
Chairman Walter George of the
senate foreign relations committee
said the administration did not in
tend to give away anything and
that the section was mot definite
enough.
George withheld comment on the
bill as a whole. but pointedly said
he hoped its provisions would be
widely publicized so the American
people can see" that it would give
belligerent warships the freedom
of our ports" and would permit dis
posal of war material already on
hand as well as that which is still
to be made.
The bill would set aside provi-
sions of the present neutrality law
in order to permit belligerent war
ships TO use our ports. This section
also runs counter TO principles OF
international law as set forth in the
1907 Hague convention and declar-
alton of Panama made by all the
American republics in 1889.

BeyschIag Tells Of
Extension Service
Activity inI.V

Many thousands of farmers IN
Imperial county have been served
during the past year by the Agri-
cultural Extension Service, a divi-
sion of the University of California
and the U. s. Department OF Agri-
culture with cooperative relation
ships with the county, according
to Frank Beyschlag, farm advisor,
in a report on agricultural educa-
tional activities to the Imperial
County Farm Bureau at their an
nual meeting in FL Centre on Sat-
urday. January 4.
According to Beyschlag's report
IN 1910 the three agricultural agents
in Imperial county made 2,425 farm
visits and the home demonstration
agent made 152 home visits. Some
of these visits were made in plan
ming meetings and demonstrations.
Others were made to give assist
ance on farm and home problems
It is the policy of the service that
visits to give advice are made only
upon request Last year the agents
recorded 3,436 office callers and g.
BIT telephone calls on agricultural
subjects and 822 office callers and
3l7 telephone calls on home max
ing subjects.
In extension circles, farm and
home calls are good, however
mass meetings offer a much quicker
means of extending information to
large numbers of people. Last year
the men had 361 Extension meet
ings attended by 1883 people and
the Home Demonstration agent 183
meetings attended by 13.479. The
latter also trains project leaders to
hold educational meetings without
her presence. These project lead
ers held 343 additional meetings
in futherance of the Extension pro-
gram with an attendance of 6,14e
people.
