MARCH PROPHECY
OF RICARD HITS
FIRST FEW DAYS

intermittent rains throughout the
southwest are quite liizeiy during the
month of March in the opinion OF
j. S. Ricafd, sun-spot weather OBJ
server at the University of Santa
Clara in California.
For the first three days of this
month the prophet accurately fore
told the moist weather which has
been visiting Douglas and on Thurs
day he stated it would be cloudy
with scattered showers and sunshine,
just as it was For Saturday, Sun
day and Monday, Ricard believes
there will be cool weather with pos
sible showers in certain regions Of
the southwest and coastal sections.
Slight atmospheric depressions are
likely for March 10, II and 70, with
quite storm predicted for March
Is and N16 which, however, may not
reach as far south as Douglas.
Much cloudiness and frequent
showers are listed for the next few
days while on March 25 and &c Ricard
believes there may be a storm Of
fair size in the Pacific northwest
which may reach into the southwest
The month will probably end with
not only high winds but considerable

release Walker from his prospective
match on May 3 at Scranton, Pa,

solons tabled the charges of three
other contenders for Walkers crown.
These were filed today by Georgia.

tory over Milligan last Wednesday
night; Jack Zivic of Pittsburgh, whc
won and lost in two matches with

good results. Much can be done along
agricultural lines in the islands, since
both St. Thomas and St. Croix import
considerable amounts of food supplies
and fruits which can and should protita,
bly, be grown in the American Virgin IS
lands.
The Investigation of crops, especially
in St. Croix, where sugar is still king,
appears to have been proved feasible and
is certainly ~warrantable. Small planters
have difficulty tidinQ themselves over
during the eighteen months generally
needed to harvest a sugar crop. Inc
Department Of Agriculture is endeaVor-
ing to convince the small farmer OF the
wisdom of diversiication of crops to coin
eide with seasonal rainfall.
Connected with this department is a
tourist exhibit which is opened during
the winter months, and which was visit
ed by hundreds of tourists from the uIne
ships coming to St. Thomas during the
winter Of 1925 1926. Many interesting *
amples of Virgin Islands manufacture
and handiWOrk were on exhibit and tor
sale. Pamphlets detailing Virgin Island
attractions were freely distributed. while
arrangements were made to open the ten
mis- and golf clubs and bathing beaches to
all tourists desiring to take advantage OF
their facilities
This EXHIBIT and the courtesies extend.
ed by this department to visitors We're
greatl~ appreciated and resulted in nu-
merous requests for further data, addl-
ti0nal sales and increased interest on the
part of continental Americans generally.
AS a means of advertisement, this
work has been pre-eminentiy successful.
The small, though attractive, Virgin
Island exhibit at the SesquicentenniaI
Exposition has proved another source for
local pride and satisfaction.
The climate in the American Virgin Is
Lands is admitted by visitors to be almost
~unaxcelled for the tropics, especially IN the
late fall, the winter and the spring
months. In fact only during the hurri-
cane season does the steady and cooling
influence of the normal trade winds show
signs of diminution.
Medical authorities are loud in their
praise of the islands as a health resort
