realize that an important change
favorable to the grower Of alfalfa in
California has taken place, which will
be Of very great and permanent ad-
vantage to him after the return of
normal conditions, following the pres
cnt general financial and economic
depression.
This change has been brought about
by the tremendous growth of our
mechant marine, as result of which
ocan fright rates on hay and meal to
the East have come down, and un-
doubtedly permanently so to far be-
low those of the railroads.
There were 450 tons received on the
tracks in Los Angeles the week end
ing January 22nd, with so tons held
over, against 450 tons the week be-
fore.
There were OCT tons received in San

ALFALFA HAS
BEEN HOLDING
STEADY MARKET

The market has heen holding COM
Earatively steady with receipt about
equal to demand, both light, but due
perhaps to the excellent soaking Cali
fornia has received. During the last
week in some sections there is prac-
tically no hay being sold, due to the
suckulent, wild grasses growing in the
foothill sections.
The season is now sufficiently far
advanced to permit preliminary
rough estimate of the new acreage of
alfalfa planted or being planted this
year.
A few months ago the expectation,
CT rather the general talk, was that
there would be an immense increase in
acreage in all parts of the state. This
expectation has fortunately not been
raterialized; there will be substan-
t;al, but not an unwieldy increase.
The association is directly con-
cerned only in the marketing acreage
CT the new acreage. Since it is diff
cult to make an exact estimate Of this
division between marketing and nom
mar keting acreage even as far as the
existing acreage is concerned, the es-
innate Of the probable division of this
rev acreage can therefore be only
a very general one.
As far as our information goes, by
far the largest part of this new acre
ege intended for cattle and dairymen,
and only comparatively small part
for the marketing of hay.
We believe that few of our member

BOB DAVIS IS
IN COURT ON
FRAUD CHARGES

Charged with presenting false
insurance, the preliminary hearing in
the case of M. B. Dob" Davis of I'M
perial, opened in Justice Mayfield's
court this morning.
A bitter legal fight followed the
reading of the complaint, in which
Davis is alleged to have falsely at
tempted to collect 81 100 from the
Auto Club Of Southern California,
following the disappearance Of his
car from the front of his home IL Im-
perial on January 5.
Alleging that the car was recovered
thereby leaving no grounds for ac5ion,
Attorney O. V. Wilson, REPRESENTING
the defendant attempted t. nave the
case dismissed, thus stopping fUrtne.
trial. The mbotion was denied and
the examination continued.
Russell Hass of the Automobile
Club was the first witness called. He
testified that Davi appeared at the Of
flee of the club and secured rates or
insurance. He returned again in
about an hour accompanied by his at
torney, Mr.. Wilson, and paid fifty
| dollar note as premium on the
policy. Miller B. Towman, in charge
Of the Ell Centre branch of the Auto
Club of Southern California next
testified that Davis secured the in
surance policy just three days before
the alleged theft Of the automobile
and identified the report of theft as
signed by the defendant.
Both the prosecution and the de-
fense were met at every turn by OBJ
jectionable technicalities, but Deputy
District Attorney Scott, for the state
by the rulings of the cour, was able to
get the greater part of his evidence
into the minutes.
During the afternoon session
George Lewis, alias Shelby Beck, who
has turned state evidence. following
his arrest in Phoenix, with William
Hudgins, in the possession of the car
testified that he with Davis and Hud.
gins entered into an agreement tc
spirit the car away, and after giving
the men ample time, was to report
the loss to the authorities, and collect
the insurance. The three men were
to receive a third of the money each
he said.

(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Arrangements
to bring about resumption Of trade
relations between Great Britain and
Russia were attacked editoially in the
Morning Post today, which declares
