In Contra Costa County, farmers are facing the same range land dilemma as in Alameda County. Everybody is looking for pasture but the supply has run out. Paul Lamborn, Contra Costa County Farm Adviser, said range lands are in a most critical condition, total feed production is down and grazing lands will dry up probably by April 1, two weeks earlier than normal. Irrigation has begun three weeks to a month early for fruit and nut crops and this means added cost for the farmers.

There are some cases where was delayed, causing severe damage to nut crops, particularly almonds. The fruit and nut crop grossed $4,667,000 in Contra Hopes for Peace Rise In Ulster Continued from Page 1 in Belfast and Londonderry, and a Belfast youth was shot dead.

Garden crops, extensive in the Brentwood area, are irrigated and there is no problem in this quarter. Waters from the Contra Costa Canal, the Eastern Contra Costa and By-ron-Bethany systems provide the area with an adequate supply of good quality water, Lamborn said.

He pointed out that agriculture benefits more from timely rains than infrequent heavy downpours. Rains last year were early, he said. January and February were dry but Resorts Unhurt, Pago 14 late spring rains put agriculture in good shape. In Napa County, where range lands are an important part of agriculture, their condition is poor, according to Richard Lawley, chief deputy agricultural commissioner. There is hardly any surface water, he said.

Creeks are drying up and some streams are as low as they normally would be in July. Napa County is the No. 1 county in California for grape production and most of the crop is dry farmed. Lawley said it is too early to say how this years crop will fare. If growers keep them cultivated and hold the moisture, they could have an average crop, he said.

But we are most concerned right now with cold weather. After the shower Wednesday morning the temperature dropped to 52 degrees and we could get morning frost. Santa Clara County range land has been suffering for two or three weeks and William S. Seyman, farm adviser. said if there is no rain of.

Even if farmers could sprinkle, he added, it would probably beanon -paying proposition with water costing $15 to $18 an acre foot. Row crops, some 15,600 to 17.000 acres, are mostly irrigated and in good shape. The same goes for flowers, including the countys No. 1 crop-chrysanthemums, a $10 million industry last year.

Sonoma County, second only to Napa County with its $12 million income from premium grapes last year, is not suffering to the extent of her neighbors to the south. Grass lands in Sonoma are in good shape so far but must have rains in the next week or so to survive. Rainfall has been 15 inches this season, compared with 24 last year and a normal of nearly 30 inches, according to Harry McCracken, agricultural commissioner. The same situation exists with the oats crop, the countys biggest grain crop. Sonoma farmers are turning more and more to irrigation crops, fruit and vegetables for their vineyards, McCracken said, and with the boom in grape prices, more and more farmers are turning to grapes.

Many are pulling their prune trees there are 4.000 fewer acres of prunes this year than last and putting in grapes. Tree crops are not hurting thus far, and Sonoma is looking for a fine crop of Graven-stein apples 4,000 of the 8,500 acres in apples for which the county is No. 1 in the nation. Solano Countys big problem is like the the others, dry range lands. However the county may suffer less than other counties because they have 25,500 acres of irrigated pasture lands.

Proximity of the Monticello Dam and Lake Berry essa provides Solano County with plenty of ririgation water and there is sufficient water for the other crops, according to Don Haug, deputy agricultural commissioner. Field crops, the countys main product, headed by wheat and barley, are in good shape. This is a $25 million industry, but some crops in the hin areas could suffer from lack of rain. Cattle, sheep and poultry grossed $6 million in the county last year, but the shortage of range lands and loss of some large feed lots they moved to Nevada last year will cut the figure considerably this year, Haug Continued from Page 1 pearance at Fairyland on April 9 in a special program, during which theyll be awarded merchandise prizes. Fighting Reported in Wake of Salvador Coup SACRAMENTO (UP I) -Stating he saw no compelling justification for the bill.

Gov. Ronald Reagan has applied his first veto of the 1972 legislative session to a Democrat-ic-sponsored measure on ballot initiatives. Reagan said the measure by Sen. Alfred E. Alquist, D-San Jose, was hastily approved with too little time for debate.

The bill would shift the primary responsibility for preparing impartial analyses of ballot measures from the legislatures attorney to its fiscal adviser. Legislative Analyst A. Alan Post Both houses of the legislature gave unanimous approval to the bili as an urgency measure so that it would take effect in time for preparation of voter pamphlets for the June 6 primary election. Perhaps the urgency aspects of this bill have provided too little time for debate and reflection on its merits, Reagan said. There is nothing in the present law to warrant such hasty action.

Reagan noted Post prepares a financial analysis if the measure has a fiscal impact. Under the Alquist bill he would do the legal analysis as well and combine the two, Reagan said. They will represent Fairyland in spedal events such as parades, fashion shows, TV programs, fairs, and events inside the park for the comfhg year.

Iceland Chess Match Canceled REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP U.S. chess wizard Bobby Fischer has informed local officials he will not play the second half of his world title match against the Soviet Unions Boris Spassky in Iceland, the president of the local chess association said Saturday.

Abortion on Welfare Dolores Continued from Page 1 portant to them, how they were growing up. He was therefore taken by surprise when his former wife, Penelope, called him on the telephone one day not long ago to tell him that she had just learned that Dolores, some weeks before, had had an abortion. Dolores and her two younger brothers were with their father at his house when the telephone rang.

She overheard his end of the conversation and immediately feared the worst. Cecil hung up and announced that he and Dolores were wanted at Penelopes house. Dolores quickly rang her mother back, but she refused to tell the girl what was wrongs Cedi took the two younger children to his mothers house and then drove alone with Dolores to her mothers. In a short time Dolores story came out, Cecil says. Despite the many restrictions which Penelope had imposed on her daughters freedom to see Adam, the two young people had succeeded in finding themselves alone often enough to make love some half a dozen times.

They had taken no precautions against her becoming pregnant, and pregnant she had indeed become. She had sought advice not from her mother, not from her father, but from an organization in. Woodside called the Problem Pregnancy Information Center. She had had an abortion in San Francisco, The abortion, through what may be a quirk in the law, had been paid for by county welfare funds without the knowledge or consent of her parents. Cedi listened sympathetically, as he recalls it and chose to react angrily not to his daughters pregnancy it- self, but to the revelation that her abortion had been paid for by county welfare funds without his knowledge or consent.

He questioned her closely and took her answers down on a tape recorder. He could not understand how the county, legally or morally, could so provide for his daughters abortion without ever notifying her parents. As a normally conservative taxpayer he suspected that the county welfare department had abused both his money and his rights as a parent. I didnt even know this could be done, at the time, Cecil says, legally or morally or any other way. And as I thought about it more and more, I realized, hell, theyre doing this with my tax money, to make matters worse theyre paying my money to do this with.

I think this is what angered me more than anything. Later Cecil found out what the law says on the question, and it mollified his anger somewhat. Section 25.8 of the California Civil Code states that a minor girl one, like Dolores, who is under 18 can receive medical care relating to her prepancy without her parents consent. Thb effect of file section is to allow a minor girl to contract, on her own authority, for any prenatal medical care that she or the fetus might require. It follows that sinfce she may do this on her own authority, ft is not required that her parents be notified of the treatment in question.

In addition, the State Supreme Court ruled last year that such prenatal care relating to her prepancy can include an abortion. In other words, in addition to other the difficulties that would con-front them. What about school? Did Adam realize that he would probably have to quit the football team, on which he had played for two years? Cecil told him how many middle-aged men he knew who hadnt played high school football and always wished they had. What about that? Cecil asked. To the young people, of course, these werent real questions.

Among 1 the adults decided to separate Dolores and Adam by sending Dolores to a new school immediately. Penelope would sell her house and move as soon as possible to the neigh-borhood of Dolores new school. They forbade the young people from seeing one another from then until the end of the school year. They could write letters but not meet. They could not even talk on the telephdne.

Come summer tye adults would reunite them if they still wanted it, but only under the adults supervision. The young couple admitted that despite these severe restrictions) they would no doubt attempt see one another anyway But finally, about 8 p.m., tft conversation ended. Today Cecil says he does not expect that the young couple will survive the rigors of their separation. 'T dont feel you can worry about things that happened in the past, he says. When something happens that you dont feel is right, then you ought to maybe try to do something about it because it happened I cant go this way.

He believes that Adam and Dolores will come to the same conclusion. Dolores is a smart kid. She Cedi was aware of none of these details during the confrontation with Dolores and his former wife. Dolores herself did not know them. She knew only the mechanics of the abortion, not the legalities.

After a while Penelope went to the phone and asked Adam and his mother to come over, and together they went over the details again and then set about finding some solution to the crisis. The conversation, which had begun about 1 p.m., went on well into the evening. Cecil smoked a pack of cigarettes and the adults soon began offering one another drihks. It was tough, Cecil says. Its still a tough situation.

I looked at it this way I guess Im this way, all my life I have been youve got a problem, youve got to look at it analytically. I think, to-find what the problem is, and all possible solutions to the problem, and then hopefully pick the best one. If you start looking at something emotionally it doesnt seem like you come up with the right conclusions. If youre buying a house or I dont care What it is, if you let your emotions run away from you it seems like you make the wrong decision nine times out of ten. So I tried to keep the tempo down as much as I could.

But it was difficult, even for myself, and as we got more and more into it, espedally after the first hour, I got to thinking about the county and the Medi-Cal doing all that stuff on my money, and I hadnt even been notified: That angered me. Cecil asked Dolores and Adam whether they would marry if they could. They said yes. Cecil tried to point out should get active in somi-thing, really concentrate something, and -try to good at it Thats one ofU keys to living. I dont Imow whether wl they did was good or bad, can pass judgment, but really dont think I should, vocally.

Ive tried to teach my children to decide what is and wrong and to themselves. Obviously till cant do that if Im to them what I feel is and wrong. He regrets that he did nqt know of Dolores pregnancy before she decided, alone, to end it. On the assumption tht she would still have wanti an abortion, he says, he wou havearranged eve through the familys ph cian. It Would have made feel safer, knowing that was safe.

up something had gone wrong coming home 9 that bus, Cecil says. Whos responsibly? Suppose sbeM bled to death. Who would frayy been legally responsible? Whp would have been morally responsible? He notes that no one at tfcfe abortion clinic offered at psychiatric help to Dolores who surely needed a friendly shoulder to lean on during long ordeal. And as he about that he becomes again. f.

I havent suggested it her personally mainly 1 cause she doesnt seem to having any problems. only seen- her twice sine then, talked to her on the phone several times. doesnt seem to be affecting her mentally as far as I can tell. Next: The discovery Her parents were preoccupied, so Dolores sought her own answers kinds of prenatal care, a mf' nor girl can also have an abortion on her own authority without, that is, either the consent or knowledge of her parents. As for the countys paying for the abdrtion, this results from what may be a quirk in the law.

California law says that it is a childs parents who are financially responsible for his well-being. Nowhere does the law make a childs grandparents financially responsible in any way. No matter what the age of the infants parent. In Dolores case, therefore, it was Dolores herself who was financially responsible for the aborted child Dolores and Adam, the father but not Dolores parents. Of course Dolores and Adam had no regular income and no property.

They therefore could not afford to pay for the prenatal care of their child. Consequently, like any other parent who had no income and no property, Dolores became eligible for county welfare. Had she chosen to bear and' keep her child she would have received payments under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children propam until such time as the child was grown or she obtained some other means of income. But the prenatal care relating to her a which she chose to seek was an abortion. She therefore became eligible for benefits under the Medi-Cal program.

County welfare workers gave Dolores a letter authorizing her abortion and agreeing to pay for it. She took the letter with her to the abortion clinic in San Francisco. It was accepted and her abortion was performed as a matter of course. A few weeks later Dolores received in the mail a Medi-Cal card which she forwarded to the abortion clinic. The physician there simply certified that he had performed the abortion, returned the card to the Contra Costa County welfare department, and received his payment.

It was about $300..
