FINER FRUIT WITH NEW IRR. SYSTEM An overhead irrigation system, the first in Anaheim district, has been installed by M. O. Robertson on his ranch two miles west of Anaheim on the West Burton road, and Robertson invites raunchers to come and witness the first demonstration of the new system next Thursday morning, beginning at 10 o'clock. Orange Co. ranchers already have shown that better and larger fruit and larger crops are possible with this method. Practically all the pipe is up. There is 12,000 feet of it on the ten acres, and the cost of the system was something over $3,500. Other ranchers have been watching Robertson's improvement, and C. M. Hollingshead is preparing to install a similar one himself. Robertson was obliged to put in a new pressure pump for the purpose. It has a capacity of 180 gallons a minute under 60 pounds pressure. There is a pipe with top sprinkler every fourth tree, the sprinkler being from 13 to 15 feet high, according to the height of the tree. Hereafter Robertson won't have to prepare the ground for irrigation, although the usual cultivation otherwise will be required. The irrigation ordinarily will be performed in the evening, starting around 5 o'clock. At the pump the main is five inches in diameter and at its terminal three inches, while the laterals are an inch in diameter at the punction with the main and half an inch at the sprinkler tops.

New York City My Dear Mr. Fiske: Why don’t you publish a Heart Statement along with the regular Financial Statement you put out each year? Any company can publish impressive figures of financial strength, financial growth, etc. But figures don’t stick. All I remember from your last year’s Statement is that the Metropolitan has several million policyholders and is the biggest life insurance company in the world. I’ve been following some of your magazine We are indebted to Mr. S. for his suggestion. It is an excellent one. We publish an annual Business Statement of the Metropolitan, not because we think that the figures will be remembered, but because they offer conclusive evidence of unusual growth and strength to its 22,000,000 policyholders. And it is this extraordinary financial strength that makes it possible for the Metropolitan to carry on a nation-wide campaign for better health and longer life. People now live longer Records kept by the Metropolitan show an extraordinary decrease in the death rate among its policyholders. Compared with 1911, for example, there were nearly 62,000 fewer deaths in 1924 among its Industrial Policyholders than there would have been if the 1911 death rate had prevailed.

A. board of directors and the Hi-Y boys met around the dinner table last evening to get themselves in the proper condition for the meetings which would follow. The new Y. M. C. A. executive secretary, John I. Rudd, was present and heartily enjoyed the many handshakes and welcoming messages accorded him. After dinner each organization went into session. Mr. Rudd, who was enjoying his first meeting with the board, told what he hopes to realize in his work and recommended various policies. He stressed the need of a sound business administration. Henson W. Faris was elected recording secretary, which completes the corps of officers. Among other actions it was decided to forego use of the swimming tank in favor of the fine clunge at the city park. The Hi-Y boys heard chief of police C. B. Nichols, who was guest of honor at dinner, in an excellent talk on his work and experiences. They later accompanied Chief Nichols to the city hall where they inspected a still recently captured. This, of course, was a very interesting visit. The highest ta we Americans rely upon ourselves is for the privilege of doctoring preventable diseases.

S and Dollars —one of which has to do with Health be other with Financial Strength OPEN LETTER (Name on Request) advertisements lately that tell of work you're doing to help people live longer. It isn't entirely clear in my mind just how you're doing it or why you do it, but since you are doing it, give us the facts and figures on that. Call it a Heart Statement or a Welfare Statement, or anything you like, but—give us the facts. Perhaps other Metropolitan policyholders like myself would be interested in a Statement of that kind. Very truly yours, C. N. S. While the average life span in the United States is 5½ years greater than it was 12 years ago, the life span of the Industrial Policyholders of the Metropolitan increased nearly 8½ years—a betterment of three years over the general average—in the same interval. These increases in longer life are due in large part to the Metropolitan's Health and Welfare Work among its policyholders. You are the gainer You and all the other 22,000,000 policyholders—one out of every six people in the United States and Canada—reap the benefit through better health and decreased cost of insurance.
