Cajalco Dam and Dike Constructed Completion of the earth-fill of the Cajalco reservoir, which involved the moving and placing of nearly 12 million tons of earth, was announced this week in the office of General Manager F. E. Weymouth of the Metropolitan Water district. Creating a man-made lake approximately three and a half miles long and two miles wide, which will store over 32 billion gallons of Colorado river water, these ponderous structures are a part of the reservoir of the 392-mile Metropolitan aqueduct. Located in the Cajalco hills ten miles south of Riverside, this reservoir is at the terminus of the 242-mile main aqueduct and marks the beginning of the 150 miles of giant pipe lines and tunnels that will distribute water to each of the 13 southern California cities that comprise the Metropoli- PHILHARMONIC AUDITORIUM LOS ANGELES MERLE ARMITAGE, who presented "THE GREAT WALTZ" MORRIS GEST, who produced "THE MIRACLE" JOIN IN OFFERTING CHINA'S GREATEST COMEDY SPECTACLE LADY PRECIOUS STREAM IN ENGLISH • COSTUMES AND EFFECTS BY MEILAN-FANG THREE YEARS IN LONDON • ONE YEAR IN NEW YORK Featuring Members of New York and London Productions, including Clarence Darentt DECEMBER 23rd TO JANUARY 1st, INC. • MATINEES WED.

Lovely PENNE J.C. PENNEY COMPANY; In 121 West Center Street, Anaheim, California The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California The population of the United States has increased by nearly 40 percent since 1910. But the number of persons living on farms in the United States is slightly less than it was in 1910. And since 1920, according to U.S. Farm Bureau of Agricultural Economics, more people are moved from farms than to farms during every year except in short, fewer producers are unable of feeding more consumables—in ever increasing ratio! Agriculture is still America's main industry—and must always maintain its basic industry, unless fundamental laws of economics can be overthrown—perhaps it will be worthwhile to delve into figures still farther. The nation's farm population in 1935 is placed by the federal bureau at 31,729,000—80,000 less in 1936; the first actual decline in farm population since 1935. According to the economicsBUILT, 1,160,000 persons left farms one year to seek their fortune elsewhere, and 719,000 persons moved to farms from villages and cities. This disparity, however, was offset in large measurably by an excess of farm births or deaths; births were estimated at 710,000; deaths at 349,000. But there are signs that even great farm equalizer—the exponent of births over deaths—may fail to equalize. The number it is quite possible that fewer farm babies merely reflect a prolonged period of fewer farm dollars, with the further possibility that birth rates will return to normal when as and if farm income returns to normal. Economic conditions in the nation as a whole also have a pronounced bearing on the migration of farm folks to the cities and the shift of city residents to the farm. Illustrative of this principle is the fact that from 1930 to 1935 farm population increased every year. But when the general public came to the conclusion the depression had ended—from the start of 1936 to the middle of 1937—farm population dwindled. There was a trek to the city—where, in theory, at least—the fields are greener and labor is less arduous. Such changes have gone on at intervals throughout the nation's history. From 1910 to 1918, there was a decrease in farm population. But following the war, farm population increased until 1921. Between 1922 and 1929, with boom conditions in the cities, farm population dwindled again—only to increase a year or two later when breadlines formed with alarming suddenness in the metropolitan areas. These periodic changes are subject to ready interpretation. But the fact that farm population today is slightly less than in 1910, while the nation's population as a whole is 40 per cent greater, re- Just how much fundamental significance the figures may have is truly debatable. For example, in rural birth rates, for several operations, have served as a parity offset to declining city births, thereby banishing the species of race suicide. If the presidency drop in the farm baby crop evidence of a fundamental and toward smaller families back on the farm," then sociologists, biologists and economists find need to assemble in solitary conclave to consider the matter. But history teaches that the bulk usually appears with less frequency immediately after periods of economic depression—and these periodic changes are subject to ready interpretation. But the fact that farm population today is slightly less than in 1910, while the nation's population as a whole is 40 per cent greater, requires other explanation. A somewhat cynical observer of the passing scene commented recently that "Modern man will be hanged by his own efficiency!" His comment, without doubt, was occasioned by the fact that efficient, high-speed equipment sometimes seemingly increases production while decreasing consumption by reason of throwing men out of employment! An International Mining Congress will be held in San Francisco in 1939 in conjunction with the 1939 World's Fair of the West. California gas returns will be swelled by $1,800,000 during the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. SHE'LL LIKE Gaymode QUALITY! • Gorgeous Chiffons! • Rich Service Weights!
