GRAHAM TRADE AT HEADQUARTERS—IT IS SAFE TEN BILLIONS RECEIVED FOR RECORDER PETERS SWAMPED WITH WORK Must Pay Deputy From His Own Pocket to Catch Up CONSER OF WA TEN BILLIONS RECEIVED FOR YEAR'S CROP MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY FOR FARMERS CORN IS STILL KING WITH A VALUATION OF MORE THAN A BILLION AND A HALF Ten billion dollars' worth of products, five billion dollars of cash income—a bumper year in spite of droughts and other setbacks—is the 1913 record of six million American farmers. The most successful year of husbandry in the United States brought forth $6,100,000,000 worth of crops, of which $2,896,000,000 were represented by cereals alone and $3,650,000,000 worth of animals sold and slaughtered and animal products. The value of the 1913 crop is twice as great as that of 1899, more than a billion dollars over 1909 and substantially greater than 1912. Of all the crops, however, it is estimated that 52 per cent will remain on farms, where they were produced, and that 20 per cent of the animal production will remain. On that basis the cash income is estimated by the Department of Agriculture at $5,847,000,000. But despite a record year of crop value—although the record of production has fallen—and the fact that the number of farms has increased 11 per cent since 1910 until there are estimated to be 6,600,000 farms in the country, the department, in a discussion of the subject made public recently, does not take the view that a lower cost of living will follow as a consequence. "However desirable production on farms may appear to be from the consumer's standpoint, it does not follow that such increased production would result in any increase in the cash income per farm or per capita of farm population, or that prices paid by consumers would be any lower," says the report. "Had the total production of 1913 equaled or exceeded the 1912 production, it seems probable that the cash income per farm would not have been greater and might have been less than in 1912; but it is extremely doubtful whether the cost to the consumer would have been any less because retail prices are promptly raised on a However desirable production farms may appear to be from the consumer's standpoint, it does not follow that such increased production would result in any increase in the cash income per farm or per capita of farm population, or that prices paid by consumers would be any lower," says the report. "Had the total production of 1913 equaled or exceeded the 1912 production, it seems probable that the cash income per farm would not have been greater and might have been less than in 1912; but it is extremely doubtful whether the cost to the consumer would have been any less because retail prices are promptly raised on a prospect of under-production, but are very slow to decline if there is overproduction. "The high prices paid by consumers, ranging from 5 to nearly 500 per cent in some cases more than the farmer receives, indicates that there is plenty of room for lowering the cost of farm products to consumers and at the same time largely increasing the cash income per farm without increasing farm production. "This condition is undoubtedly a marketing problem, which will have to be solved by better organizations of farmers and improved methods of marketing." Corn with a value of $1,692,000,000, comprised 28 per cent of the value of all crops, although the volume was under the record. The other principal crops with values are given in the order in which they come: Cotton, $798,000,000; hay, $797,000,000; wheat—the largest crop ever raised in this country—$610,000,000; oats, $440,000,000; potatoes, $228,000,000; tobacco, $122,000,000; barley, $96,000,000; sweet potatoes, $42,000,000; sugar beets, $34,000,000; Louisiana cane sugar, $26,000,000; rye, $26,000,000; rice, $22,000,000; flax seed, $21,000,000; hops, $15,000,000; buckwheat, $10,000,000. Twelve years ago a newcomer paid $1,600 for 20 acres of land in the peat district of Orange county. He has added to his holdings from time to time and the other day paid $500 an acre for his last purchase of 20 acres, making his holdings 100. His $1,600 is now worth $50,000.

Duggan, local agent of the New York Life Insurance Company, on Monday, received a check for $5,000 from that company made payable to Nellie J. Ulm, widow of N. A. Ulm, who took his own life on November 19. Accompanying the check was a letter and two enclosures. The letter stated that the policy was in force at the time of Ulm's death on the term extension clause, although Ulm had not paid the 1913 premium by October 13, when it was due. A check dated November 18 is returned. This check was signed by Ulm and was sent to cover the premium, but it was not accepted by the company for the reason that it was not accompanied by a health certificate, which is necessary when payment of a premium has not been made within 30 days of when due. A post office money order for 86 cents is also returned. It was sent by Attorney Clyde Bishop as grace interest after Ulm's death. The $5,000 check to Mrs. Ulm is dated December 23, 1913.

BACKS old stand, Established over a Quarter of a Century Ago CONSERVATION OF WATERS PARCELS POST RAISES THE LIMIT Increased From Twenty to Fifty Pounds in Some Districts McLaughlin took hold of the oar, he was seized and lifted high by a wave, and that was the last Mr. Bishop saw of him. Mr. Bishop did not see Hutchinson at all. McLaughlin was swimming toward a rock a short distance away, and whether he was killed by being dashed against the rock or was drowned before he reached it is not known. CONSERVATION OF WATERS PLANNED INTERNATIONAL WATERWAYS CONGRESS ARRANGING FOR AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM WILL ASSEMBLE AT SAN FRANCISCO JANUARY 15 TO DISCUSS BEST METHODS The Commonwealth Club has arranged a wide program for the coming Internal Waterways Congress to be held January 15-17. This is outlined in a report made by W. R. Wheeler, which is in part as follows: "In California where 'water is king,' no plans for developing navigation should be given consideration that do not fully recognize the paramount necessity of water for domestic use, and also its enormous value for irrigation. Navigable rivers and canals are of little use unless bounteous crops are available for shipment, and in most parts of this state these cannot always be expected with any certainty from unirrigated lands. "The fact that attention is called to these difficulties is not to be taken as evidence that your committee is at all discouraged with regard to the possibility or practicability of expending the usefulness of our inland waterways. On the contrary; it is to be taken as evidence of the careful consideration which has been given to all phases of this great question of such vital interest to the people of our state. "Your committee is hopeful, and even confident, that comprehensive plans can be devised whereby the inland waterways of this state may be improved, and mountain storage provided, in such manner that the availability of water for all these uses—domestic, irrigation and navigation—will be given full consideration, and in the order named. "Furthermore, as a result of holding rivers to their navigable beds, a considerable area of fertile lands now unused will be brought under cultivation. Therefore, a fourth accomplishment—reclamation—is incidental to the improvement of our waterways. And even a fifth is not without the range of possibilities—that of drainage in sections where, by reason of hardpan lying close to the surface of irrigated lands, this has become a problem. In addition to all of these the generation of cheap hydro-electric power is not to be overlooked." Every part of California is respond- Furthermore, as a result of holding rivers to their navigable beds, a considerable area of fertile lands now unused will be brought under cultivation. Therefore, a fourth accomplishment—reclamation—is incidental to the improvement of our waterways. And even a fifth is not without the range of possibilities—that of drainage in sections where, by reason of hardpan lying close to the surface of irrigated lands, this has become a problem. In addition to all of these the generation of cheap hydro-electric power is not to be overlooked." Every part of California is responding promptly to the invitation embodied in a call sent out by the club, to be represented in the Internal Waterways Congress to be held in San Francisco, January 15-17. Acceptances have been received by Secretary Walcott of the Commonwealth Club from chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and other commercial organizations and information has also been sent to the Commonwealth Club that the State Commissioner of Horticulture, acting by authority of the California Fruit Growers' Association, will appoint 15 delegates representing the fruit growers. The first acceptance came from the San Jose Chamber of Commerce, and this has been followed, in quick succession, by the Marysville Chamber of Commerce, the Stanislaus County Board of Trade, the Turlock Irrigation District, the City of Petaluma, and by acceptances by members of the California Legislature, and by many organizations. Every mail is now bringing in communications favorable to the Internal Waterways Congress. Southern California is interested. The first letter from the south came from the Chamber of Commerce of Redlands. The United States Government Engineer's office has promised to do all in its power in this connection. The railroads of California are offering a round trip rate of one and one-third fare to all delegates who come to the convention. It will be necessary to pay the full rate to San Francisco and to take receipts. On presentation of the receipts the one-third return rate will be made by the railroads. Tommy Maher, of Newport Beach, had a narrow escape and would have drowned but for assistance from others. Ten men were in the boat and all battled for their lives successfully but McLaughlin and Hutchinson. Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana was one of the 10 men and he was the first to reach shore. The boat was upset in the second line of breakers, and a considerable distance from shore. Bishop landed on the rocks and was considerably bruised about the body by being dashed against the rocks by the waves. Maher was left at the Clapp ranch, and the others of the party were taken to Santa Ana by Under Sheriff Law, and later the Newport residents were taken to their home. The bodies have not yet been recovered. The party left Newport at 9:30 Sunday for enoon for the purpose of going to San Juan Point to catch abalone. They arrived there at 1 o'clock, and preparation was at once made for a lobster dinner. After the lunch most of the members of the party went along the rugged coast in search of abalone. The sea was rough, and some of the men noticing that the launch, anchored about half a mile out, was drifting. Wm. Menton and others were dispatched to take care of the boat. The last boat load of passengers for the launch left the beach at 5:10, by which time it was getting dark. Chas. Swall, Albert Duarte and a fisherman called Frank Antonivich were in charge of the boat. At the second line of breakers, a high wave broke across the bow of the little craft and the boat listed. The men at the oars got the boat straightened out, when it dropped into the trough of the sea and apparently from under the men. The boat was capsized and the men thrown out. Fearing that the boat would strike him, Bishop made a dive, and got out of the way of it. All the men were clothed heavily. Bishop wore a coat and sweater, and the only time he feared for his life was when his sweater stuck on his arms in his effort to get it off, after throwing off his coat. He finally succeeded in getting the sweater off and started for shore. He saw one of the oars near him and started to go to it, but McLaughlin beat him to it. Just as WALNUTS AS FOOD A London medical journal recently published some interesting facts concerning walnuts as foods. According to this authority, "thirty large walnut kernels contain as much food value as two and three-quarters pounds of lean beef." With beef worth approximately 20 cents a pound, this means that each walnut is worth about 2 cents as a food product as compared with beef. That these facts will greatly encourage the production and consumption of walnuts is hardly to be expected. There is some consolation, however, in the thought that when meat has become a luxury to be indulged in only by the rich, the general consumer can keep his dinner very well—somewhat like Peter Pumpkin-eater's wife—in a walnut shell.
