Eat More Spuds Campaign Presses Fully On
County Agricultural Conservation Committee secretary Clifford E. Craig notes a bumper potato crop pushing production to an all time high. From November 7 through 16 efforts directed California's late crop into productive channels to avoid waste or glut.

Krug Hails Central Valley Project as Nation’s Greatest
Secretary Julius A. Krug, addressing the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, called the Central Valley Project the greatest national effort for land water and power use. He urged expediting work but noted 160 acre limits and power line construction slow progress after a six week western states tour. The West, he said, holds vast undeveloped wealth and the people have the know how for growth.
