Excerpt from Observations on the Recent Agricultural Inquiry in California: Made by Direction of the Committee on Resources and Food Supply of the State Council of Defense The lack of poultry production except as a specialized and commercialized industry is due, doubtless, to the Californians traditional dislike for small things. Upon the important subject of fish, which your committee directed a report to be made, the investigations indicate that the supply can readily be increased to meet any reasonable demands. Doubling the supply of fresh fish is merely a matter of increasing the nets. I hesitate with my rather limited kwledge of the situation to offer concrete suggestions, but I am convinced that with further study it would be possible to increase consumption of fish without increasing the price to the consumer. By proper co-operation the consumers prices may even be lowered. Here, as in many other cases, high prices paid are the fault of the habits and exactions of the consumer and can be remedied only by his assistance. At any time and particularly these times, an abundant wholesome supply of fish is an important asset to any community. The most frequent statement found by examining the detailed reports on horses and mules is supply about equal to present needs. Several counties report horses for sale, one county reporting some horses for sale because of the high price of feed. Independent investigations of horses available for the army are less optimistic. It is generally conceded that relatively few horses meet the cavalry requirements. It is also certain that there can be considerable extension of the present cultivated area, r more intensive cultivation of areas at present under cultivation without more power. While in a military sense this country has been engaged in war but a brief period, if at all, yet from the standpoint of the labor and food supply the United States has been in this war since August, 1914. It is t strange, therefore, that the agricultural inquiry should develop the farm labor situation to be one of the high lights. Our entrance into the war as a military aid to the Allies will serve to intensify the situation somewhat, the extent to which this will occur being dependent upon the methods of taxation adopted to meet the war loans. It was reported to our inquirers that in one-half of the counties the labor supply was sufficient to meet present needs, while three-fourths of the counties reported they did t expect to be able to secure sufficient labor within the country to meet the peak load. In considering the labor situation it is necessary to recognize that a belief in a shortage of labor is a chronic state of mind on the part of many producers. I began employing and superintending farm labor thirty-six years ago and I have been at it almost constantly ever since.
