Father Ricard Issues Weather Forecast Generally Fair Throughout May Is His Prediction Despite serious illness which held him in bed most of April, Father Jerome Ricard, "Padre of the Rain," has issued his monthly weather forecast. Generally fair weather will prevail for the month in California, according to the forecast, which follows: May 1, 2, 3 and 4—A rather severe disturbance accompanied with the usual rain will land over British Columbia, causing cloudiness here in California with strong southerly winds and a dash of rain here and there. May 5—Clearing in California, with the northern storm passing eastward. May 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10—Fair along the north coast with a taste of midsummer in California, gradually extending its influence far inland. May 11, 12, 13—Northern Washington will cloud up again for awhile, with but little rain; this disturbance will move eastward without effecting the fine weather along the balance of the coast. May 14, 15, 16—These dates will find it continuing fair in California, and this condition will prevail along practically the whole Pacific slope. May 17, 18, 19, 20, 21—The northwest will again see the entrance of another severe storm, which will move to the eastward over Washington and British Columbia; but which will be kept from moving down this way by the high pressure over this part of the const, though it will cause California to be a trifle unsettled, with a bit of rains in the central and northern portions. May 22, 23, 24, 25—Clearing in the north with a period of fine weather throughout the whole of California and Oregon. May 26, 27, 28, 29—A storm for the Growing Beets May Cease Here Low Price of Sugar Makes the Industry Unprofitable The Southern California beet sugar industry has taken on a new lease of life. Although the past decade has seen a rapid decrease in production in this area, largely due to the price of sugar, competition with other crops and pest invasion, growers last year secured higher returns than for the past several seasons. This new trend in the industry comes largely from higher acre yields, which in turn are the result of selecting better lands for the crop. In recent years the sugar beet factories still operating in this state have encouraged growers to select only the best available lands for sugar-beet production, and the results are seen in higher yields. But no matter how high the acre yields may go in Southern California nor how great the sugar content of beets in this section may run, the industry cannot come back to its own until the price of sugar sees an increase, according to sugar-beet authorities. And so long as the Cuban sugar crop is not restricted and Philippine raw sugars are brought into the United States free of duty, our beet growers have little chance of an increased price on their activity. In discussing the 1928 sugar beet season in Southern California, one of the larger factors in the industry states that "the 1928 crop was one of the best in matter of yields per acre that has been secured for a number of years. The growers for this company secured an average return of nearly eleven tons per acre with the sugar content running about 19½ per cent. which is the highest secured in any district of the Unite States. Sugar beet-growers received an initial pay- May 17, 18, 19, 20, 21—The northwest will again see the entrance of another severe storm, which will move to the eastward over Washington and British Columbia; but which will be kept from moving down this way by the high pressure over this part of the coast, though it will cause California to be a trifle unsettled, with a bit of rains in the central and northern portions. May 22, 23, 24, 25—Clearing in the north with a period of fine weather throughout the whole of California and Oregon. May 26, 27, 28, 29—A storm for the third time this month will enter as usual over the Pacific northwest and will move down into northern California, with rain over these portions, and causing partial cloudiness over central and southern California, with a few drops of rain perhaps over the latter parts. May 30, 31—These two dates will see a clearing along the whole coast and the departure eastward of the storm over the northwest so that we can close the beautiful month of May with sunshine along practically the whole coast. MAKING LIFE EASY To the long list of recent inventions taking toll out of man's estate the self-windling watch was added some time ago and now is placed on general sale. It receives sufficient impulse from the movements of the forearm—it is a wrist watch—to keep going all the time. When it was first invented lazy and absent-minded folk in particular hailed it, and those always looking for novelties were much impressed. By the time it is extended to all clocks most of the traditions of home will have vanished. At least one celebrated passage in literature has to do with the inexorable routine of winding the clock in the evening. Soon, probably, there will be a machine to walk the dog and put out the cat. When that is achieved man will no longer have any legs, for he will go everywhere in vehicles; we will fly to St. Cloud for an afternoon of golf and spend weekends in India shooting tigers. Hours will be a thousand stories high, for airport purposes, and Steel and General Motors will fetch a 1000 points. No one except his secretaries will ever see the president, because he will campaign and administer by radio, and congress will meet on a long-distance hook-up. Sitting on his gallery at Beauvoir Pat Harrison of Mississippi will have a "sharp collequy" with George H. Moses, shoveling snow at Concord. The Machine Age will have reduced all human communication to wireless, and crops will grow and be manufactured into the necessaries of life by pulling switches. Into this dielal picture only one ray of sunlight creeps. With Europe only an hour or two away, prohibition will be abandoned as unenforceable. OUR MAJOR SPORT In discussing the 1928 sugar beet season in Southern California, one of the larger factors in the industry states that "the 1928 crop was one of the best in matter of yields per acre that has been secured for a number of years. The growers for this company secured an average return of nearly eleven tons per acre with the sugar content running about 19½ per cent, which is the highest secured in any district of the Unitde States. Sugar beet-growers received an initial payment based on 5-cent sugar this year and in some gross acre returns as high as $175 to $225 per acre." The same company states that individual tonnages per acre in quite a number of cases were from 18 to 25 tons and that 12 and 15-ton crops were common. The growers for another large company secured an average of approximately ten tons per acre and the average acre return based on 5-cent sugar was $92.04. In emphasizing the way in which the price of sugar affects the farmers' return, this company pointed out that if 5½ cents were obtainable for sugar, the return would be $101.24 per acre instead of $92.04, and with sugar at six cents net per pound, the return per acre would be $110.45. Of approximately 6,000,000 tons of sugar required for American consumption each year, Cuba sends in more than one-half. The Philippines Islands are now sending in 500,000 tons of raw sugar free of duty into America. Cuba and the Philippines together supply 60 per cent of the sugar annually consumed in the United States. Harry A. Austin, secretary of the United States Sugar Beet Association is authority for the statement that Cuba, with a preferential traffit of 5 per cent on sugar, shuts out all other foreign sugars from this country. It also states that Cuba is able to lamb raw sugar product in America at a price which is impossible for the American producer to meet. Generally Cuban sugar sales in New York are at a price which averages one cent aound less than it costs the American farmer to produce sugar in his beets. Mr. Austin also points out that the domestic beet sugar industry can survive only if it is given adequate protection against the constantly increasing importations of free and concessionary sugar. Unless this protection is afforded, he says that the 100,000 farmers engaged in sugar beet growing will be obliged to abandon 800,000 acres now devoted to that crop. Beet sugar mills generally will close down. This would mean the end of the domestic beet-sugar industry in America according to Mr. Austin. In place American produced sugar at prevailing pre-war prices, foreign sugar at arbitrary prices, unrestricted by the check of domestic competition, would overrun America's markets.

OUR MAJOR SPORT If any one doubts or questions the fact that baseball is our major sport let him start his radio at any hour from three o'clock in the afternoon to midnight and set his dial at any point. The chances are always good that he will hear a voice saying, "Chicago 1, New York 0, at the end of the third inning;" or, "Foul ball, strike two;" or, "the pitcher is winding up and—Babe hits it for another homer run." The vocabulary of the baseball world has become the most familiar of any vocabulary, not even excluding the vocabulary of the stock market, which has made "bulls" and "bears" "shorts" and "call money," and many other stock market expressions common household words. There is no cleaner sport arresting the attention of the American people than the game of baseball. It has been severely commercialized. The salaries being paid major league players make bank presidents appear like pilers. The enormous gate receipts must make the modern fight promoter green with envy. The transfer of players from one club to another is being made on a pure business basis. But admitting all that, baseball gives the people their money's worth. The game is always in the open. Every move is evident. There is no brutality about it. It is technically scientific. There is no sport which approaches baseball for cleanness, for thrilling and arresting and continuous interest, and for skill. A nation is fortunate if it must have spectacles—and the people must have spectacles—that it has a game which calls out so general an interest, and which at the same time has next to nothing of the demoralizing in its technique and its practice. We are not surprised that nations which are being reborn are looking toward baseball as one of the major outlets for the playing propenities of their people. It has already become the major amateur sport of Japan. It is having a wide introduction into China. Mexico is gradually working to give it the place in the interest of her people which bull fighting now has Our country is fortunate that its major sport is of the character of baseball.

This will be one of the topics of discussion at the Southern California State Dental association's annual meeting at the Biltmore hotel, Los Angeles, next Monday and Tuesday, May 6 and 7, at which Dr. Charles E. Nobles of Los Angeles, president, will preside. Noted dental surgeons, among them Dr. George S. Monson of St. Paul, Minn., and Dr. Willis A. Coston of Kansas City, Mo., will point out that the younger generation today has far better teeth than did the children a decade ago, and that by proper diet all children may have strong, healthy teeth. Among the examples to be cited before the one thousand dentists in attendance will be that of the Los Angeles Orphans' Home, where all children have been under diet for two years and where there is not one case of bad teeth. New scientific achievements in dental surgery, one of which include the invention of the new X-ray process, called "Bite-Wing," whereby dentists can discover cavities before they can be seen, will also be demonstrated at the meeting. A report will be made on the progress of the nation-wide campaign to improve the teeth by improving the general health, according to Dr. E. Ray Brownson of this city. First Cost is Not the Last This Is True of Autos, Clothes, Food, Etc. When we buy new cars, "up-keep" charges follow. Suits of clothes must be cleaned and pressed. Plates must be tuned. In food that we eat, if we fail to balance our diet, we have "up-keep" charges on our body. There are dental bills. There is the optometrist. Then the doctor treats us for constipation and worse. Later, the surgeon must operate to check cancer or what-have-we. Good Milk From Well Cows No milk is better than the herds which produce it. As we increase the quantity of good milk in our diet, our "up-keep" reduces. Our anemia disappears. Our value to ourselves and others increases. We keep our herds well. They give more and better milk with less feed. That is two-fold value—economy for us and for you. Good Milk From Well Cows No milk is better than the herds which produce it.

Clean Milk From Clean Cows Every one of our milkers and milk handlers has passed a rigorous medical test. Milkers with clean hands and clean clothes milk clean cows. And this is but one of many safeguards that add protection and palatability to our milk supply. Vitamins From Milk These vitamins that do for the body what the spark does for your car come largely from dairy products. In order to increase the amount of them in our milk we are rearing our young stock in the highlands. You Are Invited An hour's visit to our plant to let us show you what a real laboratory test of milk means, and how we control the entire milk supply, will convince you if there is any question in your mind as to what milk to buy for your table.

ELECTRIC HEAT is the most convenient, safe, clean and practical to use for incubating and brooding chicks. With electricity there is no fuel to be hauled, no ashes to be dumped...no muss or fuss whatever. Just plug into a convenience outlet and your fuel worries are over. Electric incubators and brooders are automatically controlled, so each egg or chick receives the proper amount of heat,—healthy heat and just enough to assure sturdy, quick development. Electric incubators and brooders are not costly to operate. Special low rates for electricity apply to these uses. Ask the Edison representative in our local office to tell you about them.
