The action of the house of representatives in putting sugar on the free list would seem inevitably to have that effect. The California Development Board recognizing the seriousness of the situation passed a resolution requesting the senators from California and the senators of the western states to have action upon this matter deferred until a full and scientific inquiry is made into all the elements and interests involved in the situation. The California development board has undertaken a campaign to secure the immediate co-operation of all the commercial organizations of California to this end, and resolutions will doubtless be passed by the various district and county organizations asking the senate for a suspension of judgment until the legislators in Washington dealing with the question shall have full information before them to intelligently handle the matter. If duty is free it would WORLD-WIDE DEVELOPMENT For the first time in the history of the dry-farming movement the nations of the entire world will officially recognize it this year. In past years many nations have sent official delegates to the international dry farming congress—not because of any real encouragement given by the government of the United States—but because of the great and unalterable fact that the congress, as an independent educational movement, was the most necessary and effective agricultural uplift in the world, and because the nations needed the influence and co-operation of each other in this great battle against the conditions confronting those who are attempting to push the frontier further and further into oblivion. The seventh international congress will be notable as an international agricultural convention because the nations will be officially invited by the Canadian government to send official delegates to an officially recognized congress of nations for the purpose of officially discussing better farming methods and better homes. This invitation will go out within the next few days, and from the expression of interest upon the part of the diplomatic corps at Washington D.C., it is believed the response will be general. It is found that the influence of the sixth congress at Colorado Springs last October has already taken hold upon many countries, and the representatives of nations have been asked to investigate and report upon the accomplishment in the United States and Canada. The matter has been officially dis- The California development board has undertaken a campaign to secure the immediate co-operation of all the commercial organizations of California to this end, and resolutions will doubtless be passed by the various district and county organizations asking the senate for a suspension of judgment until the legislators in Washington dealing with the question shall have full information before them to intelligently handle the matter. If duty is free it would destroy not only the beet sugar industry of California, but of the entire United States, as it would immediately come into competition with the product from Java, from Peru from Russia, from Germany, and other places and with no guarantee that the price of sugar would be reduced to the consumer. The development of this important industry in California and subsequently in the United States is interesting and significant. Ten years ago California produced only 73,000 tons of sugar, last year 162,000 tons were produced in California as compared with 600,000 tons in the United States. California was the pioneer state in the production of beet sugar. The industry is today an important factor in the sugar market of the entire world. In this state 101,000 acres were planted to sugar beets and many thousands of acres have recently been purchased for the extension of this industry. In view of this tremendous increase it is not unreasonable to expect that the producers of California will ultimately become exporters rather than importers of sugar. Nearly every section of California is involved in this menace threatened by the recent congressional action which favored free sugar, and it is only by a concentrated effort by all the commercial organizations in the state that this danger can be avoided. It will be possible to prove to the senators of California and the western states that free sugar will only cripple a thriving industry without guaranteeing the corresponding return in the form of cheaper sugar to consumers.

It is found that the influence of the sixth congress at Colorado Springs last October has already taken hold upon many countries, and the representatives of nations have been asked to investigate and report upon the accomplishment in the United States and Canada. The matter has been officially discussed before the international institute of agriculture at Rome by the Hungarian delegate; the Italian congress has officially assumed an active educational propaganda for the development of dry farming in Italy, and the department of agriculture in Rome has issued an interesting magazine much along the lines of dry-farming; the various local governments of Australia have discussed the holding of an international congress in Australia; India has begun to see that the salvation of the millions there must depend upon dry-farming methods in order that the terrible effects of drought can be minimized; Venezuela, with her heavy winter rainfall and hot summer, officially asks to join the world movement, in order that she may learn the conservation of moisture; China, the awakened China, has instructed her ambassador and American consular corps to go deeper into the work of the congress which attracted two official Chinese delegates to Colorado Springs; Bolivia, Argentina, and many other South American nations not before represented, will send delegates to Lethbridge,and those that have participated will increase representation and possibly send exhibits. Mexico, awakened to her agricultural possibilities, has already gone earnestly to work, employing demonstration farmers and planning for actively opening her broad acres to the plow, and should the political turmoil cease within the next few month it is promised that not only will there be a large delegation, but that Mexico will make an exhibit that will show to the world that she is taking her place with the nations in agricultural advancement. And President Taft, although unable to personally attend, has asked Honorable James Wilson, secretary of agriculture for the United States, to attend and to deliver the opening address at the congress as the personal representative of the president of the United States.

HELMSEN That villages have clustered about the shores of San Francisco bay for at least four thousand years is declared by the anthropologists of the university of California. To show the ways of life of these pioneer Californians, the university has assembled in the revolving exhibit room in the museum of anthropology (at the affiliated colleges on Parnassus avenue, San Francisco), a collection of the "Bedrocks of California History" Excavation of shell mounds yielded these antiquities. Shells and bones and kitchen refuse, thrown out by centuries of aboriginaal housewives form the shellmounds, such as that at Emeryville, on the Berkeley shore which mark the sites of vanished Indian villages. In the university collection are sections of shellmounds, of old fireplaces, hut floors, weapons, cooking utensils, and not only the implements but the skulls and skeletons of the townsfolk of a San Francisco which was peopled a thousand years before Rome or Athens had their beginnings. The museum makes no charge for admission. May 5 the present special exhibit will be replaced with another collection. The great museum collection given by there be a large delegation, but that Mexico will make an exhibit that will show to the world that she is taking her place with the nations in agricultural advancement. And President Taft, although unable to personally attend, has asked Honorable James Wilson, secretary of agriculture for the United States, to attend and to deliver the opening address at the congress as the personal representative of the president of the United States. Mr. Wilson has accepted. He has given the dry-farming development of the United States much individual attention and his address will be filled with the kind of facts that will be worth a great deal to every delegate from every state or nation.

He has recommended as his successor Richard Dugdale, who for some time past has been in charge of the express office at Mr. Dickel's establishment. New quarters will probably be secured.

Precipitation in Los Angeles, according to the monthly statement of the weather bureau, amounted to 6.99 inches, the heaviest rainfall for March since 1906. Previous to that no heavier had been recorded since 1893, when 8.52 inches fell. The greatest precipitation within twenty-four hours was recorded on the 3d and 4th of last month, when 2.04 inches fell. The normal March rainfall is 3 inches. Last year Los Angeles was awarded 5.15 inches. In 1910 the weather bureau only recorded 1.86 inches. The heaviest rainfall ever recorded in that city was in 1884, when 12.36 inches drenched the town. The next year, 1885, was the dryest, with only 0.01 of an inch.

STARK STATES VIEWS Stands for Speedy Completion of Sewer System William Stark, who is a candidate for city trustee at next Monday's election, regards the early completion of Anaheim's sewer system as the most important work now before the city. Speaking of this subject yesterday he said: "I believe we shall have the system complete in three months' time, if no unforeseen complications arise. I have given a great deal of time and attention to the sewer discussion with our friends in the west country for a year or more past; and feel that I have represented the interests of my constituents with a clear-headed understanding of matters confronting us. I believe my course has the approval of citizens, and I stand squarely upon the record on asking re-election. I believe the early completion of the outfall sewer should be proceeded with immediately and pushed to a speedy completion. HI favor an economical and progressive city administration, with clean and well lighted streets, and an expansion of the electric lighting and municipal water system. "If voters feel my record as a city official is such as to merit re-election, I shall be glad to receive one discovers that too much water on the land, though it would help the next year's crop, would make the present season's soft and mushy and would ruin its keeping qualities. If some solution can be found he is sure that the irrigation orchardist will get maximum crops every year." BASEBALL SUNDAY Baseball fans are anticipating one of the fastest games of the season on the local diamond Sunday, as the Tuft-Lyons aggregation of Los Angeles is scheduled for that date. This is the team that wrestled for seventeen innings with the Anaheim boys last season and won out by a 3 to 2 score. The home team will have its best timber on the diamond. Miller and Saddler will be in the game, and Kistler and Mensenkamp will probably alternate in the box. If the Los Angeles boys win this time they will have to put up a mighty good game. RESIGNS AS EXPRESS AGENT After 27 Years of Continuous Service Here H. A. Dickel this week forwarded to headquarters his resignation as agent at this point for Wells-Fargo In the Superior Court Of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange. In the matter of the estate of Mary M. Bauer, The normal March rainfall is 3 inches. Last year Los Angeles was awarded 5.15 inches. In 1910 the weather bureau only recorded 1.86 inches. The heaviest rainfall ever recorded in that city was in 1884, when 12.36 inches drenched the town. The next year, 1885, was the dryest, with only 0.01 of an inch. ALFALFA CAME FROM CHILE John Bigler, governor of California from 1852 to 1856, is given credit for introducing alfalfa seed into this state, in a review of happenings fifty years ago in the December issue of the Grizzly Bear. The events of 1861 were compiled for the magazine by Thomas R. Jones of Sacramento. Concerning Governor Bigler, Mr. Jones writes as follows: "Ex-Governor Bigler who had been United States minister to Chili for four years, returned to California with his family, also bringing a pair of animals which were exhibited at San Francisco and Sacramento, attracting much attention. These animals, in South America, are used as beasts of burden, being able to carry 150 pounds on their backs at least 15 miles a day; they have a coat of hair that can be made into clothing and they are equal to sheep in affording a meat palatable and nourishing. The governor had an idea that they would prove adaptable and their propagation advantageous to this state, but they did not take the stock raisers' fancy. Governor Bigler has been called the fath- CLASS FOR SALE FOR SALE—Six head young workhorses, also one team for rent. Call at old McLauchlin place, 1 1-4 miles west of Anaheim, on county road.

Wickersheim Implement Co., Fulleton Calle IRRIGATING APPLE TREES Government Expert is Making Experiments in Idaho How much water should an apple tree get to insure a perfect crop this year and provide for another one next year? This is the question which Don H. Bark, irrigation engineer in charge of the government investigations in Boise, Idaho, plans to study. He will launch at once a series of experiments that he hopes will solve that problem, though it will take not less than five years to get a definite solution to the mystery. The fact that so many millions of dollars are invested in the orchard business in that state and other western states makes the engineer believe that such studies are necessary. The regular procession of good and bad years for the crop, he thinks, must have a reason. This reason is the failure of the farmers to get enough water on his land to produce the best crops this year and also to stimulate the fruit buds of next year's crop, which are forming at the same time, has been the theory of students on the subject for some time. Mr. Bark points out that the complexity of the problem increases as...

His thoughtfulness has given a great asset to the Pacific coast. Alfalfa originated in Asia, and was brought from Spain to Chili and Mexico by the Spanish conquerors of those countries. It seems singular it was not brought to California before the 50's as its excellence for fodder had been known by the Spanish people for centuries."
