CUTLER Twenty-six boys received their Tenderfoot badges at the investitute ceremonies for Boy Scout Troop 74 at Cutler School, recently. The badges were presented by parents who pinned them on upside down, to remain that way until the boys do a good turn which gives them the privilege of wearing the badge right side up. A candle lighting ceremony symbolizing the two stars in the! scout badge, the three parts of the scout oath, and the 12 scout laws were presented.

Cannon, Mt. Whitney Area Council. (Photo by Dave Martzen). Tulare county PMA secretary has been notified by Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin that he has accepted the recommendation of the imer-agency advisory committee that key farm workers be added to the critical list.

The action is the result of intensive study by the committee, on which the USDA is represented. The USDA acts as the official claimant agency for critical farm manpower, machinery and other equipment before other defense agencies. Secretary Brannan says the list of critical occupations is used as a guide in the selection of manpower for the armed service. It is used by the department of defense for considering requests for delay in call to active duty of reservists and the National Guard. Also, selective service makes the list available to local selective service boards as information to assist them in the proper classification of workers engaged in essential civilian activities.

The addition bf farm operators and assistants to the list will aid selective service in considering cases of key farm workers needed to produce record agricultural supplies for defense, Mr. Hamilton said this morning.

The proposals have not been approved by the secretary of agriculture. Copies of the notice of hearing containing the proposed amendments will be mailed shortly to all known handlers of lemons in arm acts Valencia Spoiling Studied In County Valencia rind spotting, which is causing a good deal of concern in Tulare county, is being investigated by Dr. Leo Klotz of the University of California citrus experiment station.

Worrell of the University of California agricultural extension service. Three of these fields were barley and two were wheat.

All three barley fields were of the new Arivat variety, which has proved itself outstanding for yield in California. They were grown by Ralph Terry, Woodville; Henry Borchardt, Alpaugh, and Allan Grant, Visalia. Of the two wheat fields passing the rigid requirements for certified seed, one was of Bunyip 41 wheat grown by L. J. Singleton, Orange Grove, and the other of White Federation 38 wheat grown by Muller Brothers, Terra Bella.

Hill Plants Show New Value On Woodlake Ranch i Two recently developed range plants have shown definite possibilities for Tulare county in tests conducted this year by the University of California agricultural extension service. These new plants are rose clover and subterranean clover, said Farm Advisor Ralph L.

Worrell in announcing the results. Planted last fall on Keith Manleys Dixie Ranch in the foothills north of Woodlake, they have produced excellent growth. Both are annuals and have high feed value for livestock. A new type seeder developed by the college of agriculture at Davis, prepared somewhat of a seedbed by scraping away all plant residues and seeds remaining on the ground. JThe clover seed was then drilled into these narrow cleared strips.

Several grasses were also used in these tests, Mr. Worrell said. Harding grass, tall fescue grass, smilo grass and prairie bromegrass No. 25 were included in the seed mixture. These plants have come along more slowly, but many have rooted down deep enough now to probably keep them growing vealed that Septoria may be responsible in large part for the spotting although other factors probably contributed to the initial breakdown of the rind.

Dr. Klotz found citrus leaves and even nettles that had been spotted by the Septoria. It appears that groves which received a fall spraying of zinc copper bordeaux have much less spotting than unsprayed groves, Mr. Meith stated today.

Worrell said. Producers of golden bleached raisins in the San Joaquin Valley are talking up a possible state marketing act for their crop, which would be aimed at keeping supplies in line with consumer demand. Golden bleached raisins are a specialty product, which have been hard hit for markets in the tightened post-war export situation. The domestic market uses only so many golden bleached raisins at the present time, and the quantity is less than the California production. At the present time, the industry still is trying to dispose of 2,500 surplus tons of 1950 grain, the most expensive part of the dairy cows ration.

Under present market conditions, feed grain only to those cows which produce more than 25 or 30 pounds of butterfat per month. If the dairyman does this, he should have for the lower producers plenty of alfalfa hay, a combination of alfalfa and silage, or of alfalfa hay and pasture. For cows producing more than 30 pounds of butterfat a month, grain is usually needed. Some dairymen divide the pounds of butterfat produced by the cow monthly by five or six to secure the pounds of grain to feed per day. Thus a cow producing 60 pounds of butterfat a month would receive The Familys Movies Shown At Farmcrsville Grange FARMERSVILLE Bruce Veg-ely, representative of the Standard Oil showed pictures of Canada and the Grand Canyon in Arizona to members of the Farm-ersville Grange at their regular meeting last week.

Valley growers hope for speedy congressional action on the Mexican farm labor bill, following passage by the Senate of the El-lender bill. Officials of the agricultural labor bureau of the San Joaquin Valley point out the Mexicans will not be a cheap supply of labor.

Transportation costs will be heavy to the growers, and the Mexicans must be paid the prevailing wage rates. However, regardless of the costs involved, the Mexicans could be a valuable supplement to the sharply reduced farm labor force available this year in California and the other western states.
