QUAKES

Santa Clara, Gal, March s.
Earthquakes not only will be pre-
dicted in the future, but Nactually
have been forecast in the past, said
Father jerome S. Ricatd, S. j.,
director of the University n Santa
Clara observatory, in answer to an
assertion made in Washington re-
Gently by DR.. Thomas A. jaeger. Jr.,
government scientist. that continued
study of seismological data will
enable scientists to send out warn
ings of the approach of tremblors.
Father Ricard, noted as a weather
prophet, is known as 'the Padre of
the Rains and his theory, of the
relation of sun-spots to the weather
has attracted wide attention.
Earthquakes, he contended, ''were
first predicted by Marchand, Il
Frenchman, % years ago, by means
of sunspots. Unfortunately he died
without perfecting his system, and
as usual his idea was greatly ridi
culed. -
1--WE took up the same idea here
at Santa Clara and tested it until
1914. Our findings were that Il
sun-spot crossing the central meri
dian, or happening in the vicinity,
east or west, always synchronized
with accounts of earthquakes some
where on the globe given out by the
press. Professor Albert Porta, OF
this observatory, became imbued
with the findings and continued the
study until his death last year"

study of predicting earthquakes.

and even of the scientific. Yor!d
toward the theory advanced by Mar

as the average person in the United
States consumes 1876 pounds of but
ter during year, while in Califor-
MIA the average consumption is 23
pound of butter per person.
In stressing the advantages of
dairying in North Dakota, Mr.. Dice
mentioned that North Dakota is so
situated that it's farmers do not need
to worry about transportation costs.
The freight on pound of butter to
the.eastern scaboard is about four per
cent of the selling price of butter,
while the freight on wheat amounts
to 80 per cent of the selling price.
1T is the little things that count
on the dairy farm, as we'll as in the
dairy industry stated the dairy
man. The three or four things that
we must most emphasize during the
next few years in order to get start

fiance, Ohio, in an address before
the North Dakota Dairymen's Asso-
citation here today. He complimcnted
the dairy industry on its growth in
sections previously devoted almost
entirely to wheat, declaring produc-
tion of milk, butter, eggs, bacon,
wool, cotton, sugar and other crops
that take little mineral matter from
the soil to be the only salvation for
the American farmer.
While the Wheat farmer has APP
peared to make a profit the value of
mineral matter in his product has
made every crop, even at peak prices,
an actual loss,'' he declared.
The speaker, who is at the head
of 1,20O farmers who are building
their own sugar factory at Defiance,
Ohio, pointed out that much of the
wheat country in North Dakota is
we'll adapted to sugar beets,, which
he said were especially needed be-
cause beet pulp has been found ex-
cellent dairy feed.

According to Father Picard, Mar
chand was not the only astronomer
to see the relation between earth
quakes and sun-spots. Some time
before 1900 Hugh Clements In Lon
don held firmly that earthquakes
were caused by the joint action of
the sun and the moon. On this
idea Clements explained the great
earthquakes, particularly the dis
astrous Lisbon trelflblor.
Father RicaFa also announced that
he had begun the study of the pos
siblt relation OF the moon to the
direction of storms. If it is found,
he explained, that the moon has in
fluence on atmospheric tides capable
of inducing barometric rises and
falls along certain lines of the earth,

range forecasting.

years. Price for butter, for instance,
in 1928 averaged about 10 per cent
higher than 1922 prices
High price, dairy products have
naturally increased production, as
every farmer that has had any kind
of cow has MIXED her, but con-

consumption of milk has increased
16 per cent in the same time and ice
cream has increased % per cent In
crease in consumption is apt to con-
tinue as long as employment condi-
tions remain good, according to Mr.
Dice.
The American people are using
more dairy products, he said. They
are learning that it is an essential
food, and that even with the current
prices, it is an economical food to
buy. The limit in consumption has
not yet been reached, he declared,
