Real Aid For Agriculture The possibility of marketing more California fruit in Oriental countries is to be studied by Professor B. H. Crocheron, director of agricultural extension and state leader of farm advisors, during an extended period of several months, when he will devote his entire time to this study of conditions. This is a recent announcement made by President Campbell of the University of California. The price depression in deciduous fruits has two remedies: The first is to grow less of them; the second is to find more people to eat them. Professor Crocheron proposes to see if he can find more people to eat our fruit and fruit products. He does this in an effort to find a measure of relief for California farmers. His investigations will lift all this discussion on Oriental marketing out of the haze of opinion and guess into the light of facts and figures. Director Crocheron told about hos Oriental plans at a reception given him at Santa Ana last week by the Orange County Farm Bureau. He said he would visit forty cities and centers of population while in the Orient. He will go to Japan, China, Indo-China, Malay Peninsula and India to determine the possibilities of creating markets for California dried and canned fruits. The Federal Department of Commerce is co-operating in this undertaking. Newspaper dispatches say that the result of the recent primary in Florida was very close. The real estaters' vote must have been badly split.

Enormous Sums Paid in Gas Tax Motor Fuel Sales Net More Than $305,000,000 in 1928 Gasoline taxes amounting to $305,-233,842 were collected on the sale of 10,178,344,771 gallons of motor fuel in 1928 in the District of Columbia and the 46 states in which the tax was effective during the whole or a part of the year, according to figures compiled by the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture. The figures include the tax collected and the gasoline consumed in Illinois during the month of January only, owing to the fact that he law providing for the states' 2-cent tax was held invalid on February 24, 1928. Massachusetts and New York were the only states without a gasoline tax in 1928. These two have since passed laws providing, in Massachusetts for a 2-cent tax effective January 1, 1929, and in New York for a 2-cent tax effective May 1. As the Illinois legislature has passed a new law which provides for the collection of a 3-cent tax effective August 1, that date will mark the final adoption of the tax by all states ten years after its adoption by Oregon and Colorado, the pioneer states. Changes in the rate of taxation were effected in four states during the year. The New Hampshire tax was increased from 3 cents to 4 cents a gallon on the first of the year. Virginia added a half-cent on March 19, 1928, making the new rate 5 cents a gallon. The Texas rate was reduced on September 1 from 3 to 2 cents a gallon; and Mississippi raised its rate from 4 to 5 cents a gallon on December 1 last. The average rate per gallon in 1928 was 3 cents; the highest was 5 and the lowest was 2 cents. At the close of the year the rate in effect was 5 cents in seven states, 4 cents in eleven states, 3½ cents in one state, 3 cents in 14 states, and 2 cents in 12 states and the District of Columbia. Comparison of the total number of vehicles registered with the total tax collected in the states in which the tax was effective throughout the year shows an average revenue of $15.09 per vehicle. original service was arranged by Queen Elizabeth in 1559 on Ascension day. A party of "substantial men" encircles the bounds of the parish. They are accompanied by the boys of the church choir in cassocks, surplices and mortarboards. At the boundary marks the elders strike the head of the choir boy on the stone, so that he will remember the boundary mark. It is said that he remembers the bump until, when he is grown, he himself conducts the tour of choir boys and bumps a head as he remembers he was bumped. The rites open with a service in the church where a sermon is preached on the text. "Cursed be he that trans-lateth the bounds and doles of his neighbor." One wonders whether the leaders in pedagogy have hit upon a better plan of impressing youngsters with the rights of other people. One of the boundary stones is said to be deep in the Thames river, so elders and choir boys traverse that portion of the boundary in a boat. They do not, however, attempt to strike a boy's head against that particular stone. The United States debt has been cut nearly nine billion dollars since the peak in 1912. Who said that Andy Mel- sissippi raised its rate from 4 to 5 cents a gallon on December 1 last. The average rate per gallon in 1928 was 3 cents; the highest was 5 and the lowest was 2 cents. At the close of the year the rate in effect was 5 cents in seven states, 4 cents in eleven states, 3½ cents in one state, 3 cents in 14 states, and 2 cents in 12 states and the District of Columbia. Comparison of the total number of vehicles registered with the total tax collected in the states in which the tax was effective throughout the year shows an average revenue of $15.09 per vehicle. After deduction of the costs of collection the entire net revenue was used for rural road purposes in 35 states. In the remaining 13 states and the District of Columbia a total of $18,491.754 was devoted to other purposes. In three states a portion of the collections was used for public school purposes. The January collections in Illinois In five states a portion of the revenue were held at the disposal of the court went to cities for the construction and repair of streets, as did the entire collection in the District of Columbia. In two states small sums were deposited in the general funds of the state; in Mississippi special taxes in addition to those collected at the regular rate were used for the construction of a road-protecting sea-wall; in New Hampshire a fourth of the net collection was used for the repair of flood damage; and one state—New Jersey—a small portion of the receipts wasurned over to the state department of Commerce and Navigation. Of the portion of the total revenue devoted to rural road purposes, the amount used for construction and maintenance of state highways was $211,046,596; for construction and maintenance of local roads the amount was $57,380,901, and the balance of $17-619,995 was used for payments on state and county road bonds. STILL PLENTY TO EXPLORE Although that we like to say that the unexplored places of the earth have dwindled to insignificance, and that there is little space left in which an adventurous explorer can find anything really new, the department of the interior reveals that Alaska, over which the American flag has flown for upwards of 60 years, still has thousands of square miles of wild land into which no white man has ever penetrated. A party of scientists from the Geological Survey has just finished making a new set of maps, based on a two month's trip into the Alaskan interior last summer. Their report is highly interesting; it emphasizes that Alaska, a tremendous tract of land a fifth the size of the United States, still has plenty of untracked wilderness to tempt the venturesome. The scientists had to go by the slow, laborious pack train method. The streams that they followed were swift even for modern motor boats. There were no roads; in many cases there were not event any trails.

In two months time they did not see one human being. They did not even find any trace of natives. They found a few remains of Indian encampments to be sure; but they were all at least thirty years old. The land apparently had been absolutely untenanted for at least three decades. Somehow it is encouraging to read things like that. The United States is getting more populous. Good roads, automobiles, a growing population and prosperity are making the "open spaces" fewer and farther apart than ever before. It is almost impossible for the average man to get completely out of sight or sound of civilization. Things are getting so that we rub elbows with our neighbors a little too closely. To be sure, very few of us will ever get to Alaska. But for some reason it is a bit comforting to know that there are still tremendous spaces where the influence of civilization is not felt. The earth still holds desolate, unexplored territories—and we're all glad to hear it. AN IMPRESSIVE LESSON A curious ceremony took place in England the other day, where so many very old customs are preserved. The ceremony consisted of the marking of the parish bounds of the Church of St. Clement Dames of the Hirondel.

It is a combination that will give greatest efficiency in the operation of the car, both from the standpoint of power, speed and dependability as well as in economy of operation. I have used them exclusively for many years in racing motors and in my own private cars and can conscientiously recommend them to every motorist as the finest products of their kind that are made. Harry Miller is credited with many of the great improvements in engine design of the past decade...the builder of automobile, hydroplane and aviation motors that hold many of the world's existing records for speed and endurance. His endorsement is the highest recommendation that any motor product can possibly have. Richfield products are also used and endorsed by many other famous pilots and designers, including Fred Duesenberg, Anthony Fokker, Art Goebel, Allan Loughead, Harry Hartz, Captain Wilkins and Ralph Snoddy...men whose achievements are internationally recognized. Richfield really is better! Its qualities...proved in grueling competitive events...are the same qualities you need in your own motor car...power, speed, mileage and dependability.
