California’s Crops For Coming Year County Advisor Wahlberg Tells of the Season’s Outlook With the demand for agricultural products in 1930 not likely to be as good as in 1929, because of the decline in industrial activity and employment; and with production, especially of fruit, likely to be higher than last year, prices probably will be lower for most commodities. Material improvement in demand for 1931, however is expected. These are the high lights of the California Agricultural Outlook Report for 1930, prepared by Dr. H. R. Wellman, economics specialist of the University of California Agricultural Extension Service. The report was released for publication today, according to Farm Advisor Wahlberg. Prospective fruit prices are not at all heartening to the producers, the livestock forecast has a pessimistic note in most lines, and field crops probably will be in no better position, some of them are expected to slump materially. A summary of the Outlook for crops grown in Orange County has just been released by the Farm Advisor’s office. The production of walnuts already in prospect will probably be more than sufficient to supply the domestic requirements for unshelled walnuts at the present level of prices, unless there is an extraordinary increase in demand. If such an increase does not occur, the future trend of prices to growers may be expected to be downward. The out look for additional plantings is unfavorable. Grapefruit: A marked increase in the shipments of grapefruit in the winter and spring months is in prospect during the next few years. On the other hand, it is not likely that the shipments of summer grapefruit will rise above the present level. Lemons: The lemon industry is gradually obtaining a more favorable basis than that which prevailed on the average during recent years. The production in this state is now about at the peak, and there probably will be a gradual downward trend in acreage. Hopi Smoke Dance At Shrine Circus Ancient Tribal Custom to be Performed in Los Angeles —By C. N. P. A. Service— In conning the long list of super specials to appear at the mammoth Shrine Circus, it becomes at once apparent that the Shrine sponsored gala spectacle is decidedly out of the ordinary. Aside of the fifty top notch circus acts recruited from the different circuses throughout the nation, many extra features new to the public world will be placed before the thousands who will attend the thrilling performances, it is said. With the recent signing of the Hopi Indians to present their famous and mysterious Hopi Indian Sacred Snake Dance, Shrine Officials believe that they now offer to the people of Los Angeles and vicinity the ultimate in circus entertainment. Shown in a theatre for the first time in history, this peculiar ceremonial of the Hopi Indians is in a class by itself throughout the entire globe, being unequaled for beauty, thrills, romance and the mystery of savagery in any portion of the earth. Annually in Arizona the unusual feature is and has been presented to the Hopi tribes for many centuries. Only recently have white men been allowed to look upon the strange rites without being in danger of their lives. In May, 1926, the Hopi Snake Dance festivity was presented on the steps of the White House before the President of the United States and Congress in a plea to retain their ancient custom owing to the fact that congress has been petitioned to suppress it! Their first performance before the governmental heads was successful. The Ceremonial dance, to be observed at the Shrine Circus, is really a pageant of Hopi history and legend. In succession are the Snake Dance, Harvest Dance, the War Dance, and the Peace Dance. With the dances will be seen an unusual exhibit of Hopi industry and art...

On the other hand, it is not likely that the shipments of summer grapefruit will rise above the present level. Lemons: The lemon industry is gradually obtaining a more favorable basis than that which prevailed on the average during recent years. The production in this state is now about at the peak, and there probably will be a gradual downward trend in acreage. Oranges: An upward trend in the shipments of both orange and grapefruit at the time California Navels are marketed seems probable. Although it is possible that the peak of production of Navels in this state has been reached, Florida and Texas are capable of producing materially larger crops of citrus fruits whenever conditions are favorable. The outlook for Valencias continues favorable. The relatively low prices received in 1929 are not likely to prevail on the average during the next few years. Crops as large as that of 1929 cannot be normally expected for several years; by that time the demand for Valencia oranges probably will be materially greater than now. While the underlying situation is not as bad as would appear from the current butter prices, California dairymen face a period of keener competition than in recent years. The tendency to keep more cows throughout the United States does not appear to have been checked. Prices of cows have reached the peak and have started downward. There probably never will be a better time for dairymen to dispose of cull cows than now. The level of egg prices in 1930 is likely to be lower than in 1929. Decrease in production since 1927 has been accompanied by an increase in prices; production is likely to increase and prices probably will decline. Barley: No material improvement in demand for barley is in prospect for the crop year beginning August-1, 1930. No expansion in domestic requirements is indicated and European indications suggest only a slight increase in foreign demand. Wheat: There is little in the wheat situation in the United States and other countries at present to indicate that prices for the 1930 crop will be much different from those prevailing for the 1929 crop. Sugar Beets: The world sugar production probably will continue large and prices relatively low, but apparently the tendency to increase production has been checked and some slight improvement in prices is in prospect. Beans: The acreage planted to beans in 1929, both in the United States as a whole and in California, will apparently produce under average growing conditions about all the beans that can be sold at satisfactory prices. Unless yields per acre of Lima and Baby Lima beans are again unusually low in 1930, or the acreage is reduced, it is likely prices will be lower. Indications point to about the same conditions for pink cotton growers are particularly considered, for acreage and production are pointed out as touching comparatively high levels during the past five years.

Farm Income May Be Lighter Not So Good In Nation As During Past Year Farm income will not be as good in 1930 as it was in 1929, according to the recently published report of the United States Department of Agriculture.

Overproduction — a bogey often fauntled in this column—is warned against by the report. An imminent danger of overproduction in many products is anticipated and farmers are advised to study conditions carefully before embarking on new enterprises. Much of the department's recommendation against increased production is based on industrial activity decline since last June. A marked decrease in butter, cotton and wool consumption is noted.

As long ago as 1880, Alexander Graham Bell telephoned speech along a beam of light. Bell's apparatus operated by means of a silvered plane mirror so thin and so delicately balanced that it could be set in vibration by sound waves. The vibrating mirror reflected a fluctuating light beam which was directed by a lens and a parabolic mirror to the receiving apparatus. In the latter was a sensitive cell containing selenium, which varies in electrical conductivity in accordance with the intensity of light falling upon it. The cell, in circuit with a telephone receiver and battery, transformed the light fluctuations into undulations of an electric current, and thus conveyed sounds to the listener's ear. During his first successful outdoor experiment with the apparatus, which he called the photophone, Bell transmitted speech a distance of 230 yards. Although not radio apparatus in the modern sense, this was the first successful "wireless" telephone. Vienna experts say that the ideal beauty is the tall blond. But most men will keep on preferring both blonds and brunettes. Much of the department's recommendation against increased production is based on industrial activity decline since last June. A marked decrease in butter, cotton and wool consumption is noted. In addition, apples, potatoes, and grains have failed thus far in making the usual seasonal advances. Cotton growers are particularly considered, for acreage and production are pointed out as touching comparatively high levels during the past five years. California cotton men have been fortunate in the last few years in quality and quantity, but a careful survey of the future market should guide them from now on. New apples plantings are inadvisable, the department stated, except where conditions are unusually favorable for high quality production. Certain districts of California can profit from this advice, keeping in mind that pest trouble has cut down quality in many best sections of the state during the past year. Considerable cold storage depreciation in the state during the past year. Considerable cold storage depreciation in the state during the past month lends to this view. Cantaloupes represent another item in which overproduction is stressed in the department report. A moderate decrease in acreage in the intermediate and late sections is recommended in order to raise prices to the level of a few years ago. Watermelon growers should plant on a somewhat smaller acreage, the department believes. Probability of heavy grape production and low prices continue. Farm mortgage financing and marketing credit prospects are good, but production credit may not be so pleniful. Farm labor may increase in supply, with a lower wage demand, according to the report. The report must be considered as being representative of the country as a whole, and only applying to California generally, but it is valuable as at least for farmers of this state. That unknown quantity, the weather, may overthrow all predictions and take fore embarking on new enterprises.

Apparently we are on the road to a normal year, but late rains and frosts must always be reckoned with. The California farmer is in a favorable position at present. Last year's underproduction has prevented a surplus from pilling up in storage and the oncoming crop will be quickly absorbed at a profit for growers if normal conditions continue. Dairymen Organize In line with the recommendations made at the annual meeting of the Farm Bureau last fall at Fresno in regard to the formation of a State Dairy Department of the Farm Bureau, dairy directors from Regions 1 and 2, comprising the counties of Orange, San Diego, Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara, will meet at the Farm Bureau office, Santa Ana, at 12:30 a.m., Thursday, January 23. Each county is expected to have one delegate and two alternates at the meeting, when region delegates will be elected from each region and a chairman selected for the two regions. H. L. Wakeham of Tustin was selected by the Orange County Dairy Department to represent this county on the regional committee. E. A. Wakeham of Garden Grove and F. H. Finney of Santa Ana were selected as alternates. Since the problems of region 1 and 2 are very similar it was considered advisable to organize these two regions into one group. However, a regional director will be selected from meach region so that this section of the state will get the representation to which it is entitled on the board of the State Dairy Department of the Farm Bureau. The State Dairy Department is comprised of a director from each of the eight regions into which the state is divided. While this meeting is primarily for the directors elected any interested dairyman is privileged to attend. Shepherd Sells Many Caterpillar Tractors CATERPILLAR REG. U.S. TRACT Have Unequalled Can You Afford to Get A Shepherd Sells Many Caterpillar Tractors What is believed to be a record for the number of tractors sold by any one distributor during any year was made in 1929 by the Shepherd Tractor & Equipment Company. "Caterpillar" Tractor Distributors for Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties. Last year, this firm sold 701 tractors, which is at the average rate of more than two per working day. As an indication that he expects to sell an even greater number of "Caterpillar" Tractors during 1930, Willard E. Shepherd, president of the Shepherd Tractor & Equipment Company announces that 260 "Caterpillar" Tractors are now on the way from the factory to the company's warehouses, for February and March deliveries. Two important factors have contributed materially to the enormous demand for "Caterpillar" Tractors, according to Mr. Shepherd. One is the pains which are taken to keep improving the tractors and the other is the substantial reductions in prices which have been made during the past four years. Tractor users have come to realize the importance of using a tractor which does not pack the soil," said Mr. Shepherd. "They also appreciate the advantages of easy driving, easy steering and economical upkeep for which the 'Caterpillar' is famous." Christian Science Church "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." These words from the book of Zechariah constitute the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Spirit" Sunday in all Christian Science Churches, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scripture citations in the Lesson-Sermon recounts the following incident concerning Christ Jesus: "And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and lest him go." A correlative selection from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states, "Jesus demonstrated the inability of corporeal..." Easiest Steering—Most So handy are "Caterpillar" Tractors that boys of ten and men of seventy drive them all day and like it. Big, comfortable seats and finger tip steering make working with them a pleasure. Save Time and Fuel "Caterpillar" Tractors are faster. Watch how quickly they get the work done! They save one-third the time and one-third of the fuel as well. They turn easily and quickly anywhere. No time is lost at the end of the row. "Caterpillars" are always under perfect control. You never bark a tree or break a stand pipe. Most important of all, they don't sink in soft or loose ground; hence they prevent waste of fuel and power.

BEAUTIFUL PARK Capitol Park, the magnificent 21 acres surrounding California's state capitol, contains trees and plants from every country in the world. Date palms from Africa, pepper trees from South America and cedars from the Himalaya mountains may be seen. One grove contains trees from every battlefield of the Civil War. Thousands of tourists flock to this park each year and are able to identify each tree by a printed label in a frame. These labels, exposed to the weather, must be replaced frequently. All the printing is done by convicts at San Quentin state prison, according to Frank Killam, superintendent of buildings. DO YOU EAT PORK Names of new babies, married couples, and persons who have died will be registered in the State Bureau of Vital Statistics by sound instead of alphabetically hereafter, according to Lyman M. King, director of finance. Approximately three million names are on file by the state, and the new system, known as the "Soindex" method, permits the finding of any name in one minute. It is proposed to photograph every certificate in reduced size by a new machine which makes 3,600 photographs an hour. PAGE THREE CATERPILLAR U.S. PAT. OFF. ACTORS equalled Advantages to Get Along Without Them? WHEN "Caterpillar" Tractors sold for 35% more than the prices now in effect, they were recognized as being wonderful values for the money they cost. Now that substantially lowered prices have brought the "Caterpillar" within the reach of everybody, it is more necessary than ever that you avail yourself of the many advantages which only "Caterpillar" can offer you. Don't Pack Your Soil "Caterpillar" Tractor will not pack your soil. That's why bean growers who used "Caterpillar" were recognized as being wonderful values for the money they cost. Now that substantially lowered prices have brought the "Caterpillar" within the reach of everybody, it is more necessary than ever that you avail yourself of the many advantages which only "Caterpillar" can offer you. Don’t Pack Your Soil A "Caterpillar" Tractor will not pack your soil. That’s why bean growers who used “Caterpillars” last year got from one to three sacks extra from each acre. That’s why citrus growers who handled their land with “Caterpillars” got larger and better fruit. “Caterpillar” Tractors can and do get on the land from three days to a week earlier. They don’t mire and get stuck. The broad, flat tracks distribute the weight so packing is impossible. Comfortable Riding Long life is another "Caterpillar" advantage. Twenty-one hundred are in use in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties. Three hundred of them are over five years old and still going strong. Practically all of them are on the original tracks. (Should you ever need to renew a track on your "Caterpillar" the cost is small. For instance, on Model Fifteen, it is only $96.15.) Now in Reach of Everyone Tremendous production has brought the prices of "Caterpillar" Tractors down 35% in the last four years. Long experience, combined with superior engineering, has achieved notable improvements in the new models. Now—more than ever before—you can't afford to get along without a "Caterpillar".

Gentlemen: Yes I—we do like "Caterpillar" tractors and Shepherd service. We use "Caterpillar" tractors exclusively for our own work and there are some fifty odd "Caterpillar" tractors on the property of The Irvine Company. The biggest advantage that "Caterpillar" tractors offer us is the fact that they do not pack the ground — it is very detrimental in either bean raising or in citrus groves. Then together our "Caterpillars" we can start work several days earlier after a rain or an irrigation thaw we could otherwise. This permits us to get our crops in and our work done when it should be done. This item alone many times means a big difference in the crops. Our "Caterpillars" have been very reliable and lose very little time. Tracks from our experience will last several years, and as you know since of our tractors are capable of seventy years old, and we work these many more days each year than the average tractor owner. The latest tractors we have bought from you show many decided improvements over our old ones and we look for even best warranties from them.
