the stockmen more than made up
their losses incurred during the
thf5e unauo eossrUl years.
Butter fat, one cs the most
valuable commodities, averaged
4G-l-" cents per pound during the
month of July, 1928, as compared
with AZ cents last July. Today 3
price is ~ cents, with a prospect of
n quick advance. Imperial Valley
produced 5.s52,3Sl pounds during
the last year. The average yield per
COW. largely due to the activities
and tdc teachings of the COW test
ing associations. has increased here
from Il former average of half u
pound to Il present production of
about $40 Of pound daily. 1t is
interesting to note that last year the
state consumed l04, 100000 pounds
Of butter. California produced only
",0oo,toO pounds, making it neces-
sary to import 100000 pounds
from without the state. The pros
poets for successful dairying in I'm
perial Valley were never so favor
able. Increased paintings of alfalfa
during the past fall and spring as
sure plentiful feed here for larger
herds Of COWS.
Asparague brought an average of
$3.50 net per box of 16 lbs. The
price of Thompson Sccdlcss grapes
was about $2.25 per box. Malagas
haVe lately gone down to 20 cents,
cqualllng SG3 per ton, but the aver
age yield is > tons per acre. so the
price is net bad. Strawberries were
at no time under $3.50 per crate.
Squash brought about 81 4j per con
taincr. Peas, carly and late vari-
cites, ran mostly 10 cents to -
cents per pound, and the shipping
season lasted longer than usual. All
of these figures represent very sat
isfactory prices to the producer. To
matOes continued very steadily at
about 10 cents per pound, or $40
per Jug.
Lettuce. and also cantaloupcs, are
finGnccd largely by outside capital.
Even IN years of poor prices, lmPe-
rial Valley gets large amount of
money from the labor expenditures
of these Eastern distributors, esti-
mated, for the lettuce crop alone, at
$3,oo0,000 per season. Net returns
were not high during the season
which closed last March, but most
lettuce yielded II profit, compared
with the disastrous losses of the
two seasons which preceded.

Directors Urge Residents
to Attend Exposition on
Valley Day.

Last night the regular weekly din
ncr Of the FL Centre Chamber of
Commerce was held at the Barbara
Worth hotel, followed by meeting
of the directors. A number of vis-
itors attended the dinner. during
which Robert Hays, secretary, gave
brief outline Of Inc chambers IS pro-
gram and proposed activities during
the coming year.
The directors passed a resolution
urging all valley residents to visit
the Pacific Southwest Exposition at
Long Beach, on Imperial Valley Day
which occurs Sunday, August II. 1t
was agreed to cooperate with other
chambers in Imperial Valley, in the
event that il is generally decided to
send large caravan to Long Beach.
The FL Centre chamber will provide
5000 badges, to be distributed from
Imperial Valleys booth at the Fair,
ON the grounds. Distribution there
viii be directed by Fred Nebel-Thau
and it is desired that all valley folk
be properly tagged and labeled ON
the auspicious day. August , will
also be Italian day and Japanese
day at Long Beach, and special en-
tcrtainment is being provided.
The chamber received official not
ice that the section Of the San Di-
ego highway east of Alpine is closed
for new construction. and that the
most desirable route to the coast
city is now via Campo. The turn
from the main road is made at
: White Star, where travellers by way
of Campo turn to the left at that
point.
Applications for membership in
the chamber of commerce were re-
ccived from seven firms, and they
were elected as members. They are

and activities.

KRIS lin A MURTI
MAY DISPENSE
DIVINE TRUTHS

OMMEN, Holland, Aug 2.-Morc
than 5000 disciples from all parts
Of the world gathered here today in
hope of receiving a divine revelation
from the &" World Teacher through
His earthly vehicle, j. Krish-
hamurti.
Krishnamurti, variously pro-
claimed the New Messiah, - the
"Sccond Christ, > and "The Vehicle
Of Truth, 80 will preside personally
over the 18th international cncamp-
ment of the ''Star in the East, )"
which is the official name of the
gathering.
The chief nature of the confer
ence which will last until Aug. 10,
is the nightly talks around the
campfire. Krishnamurti will lead
these mystic scances. In previous
years, he has frequently chanted in
low wailing Sanskrit to his follow
crs while gathered about the fire.
Mrs. Annie Bcsant. protector Of
the order and sponsor for Krishna-
murti, whom she adopted from his
Indian parents, was scheduled to
take leading part in the proceed
inEs but was unable to attend, as
She is recovering in England from
the effects of chill.
No Miracle Attempted
Though the congress will be re-
plete with mystic rites and occult
forms there will be no attempt on
the part of the mundane "'Noice'
to perform miracles. Unlike other
prophets, the tall, dark skinned,
flashing eyed, young Indian does
not believe in them. lie has espe-
cially asked that all people suffer
ing from communicable disease be
excluded from the meetings, no
natter how great their faith.

Grapefruit yielded the grower

The trees produced five to eight
boxes of fruit each, depending upon

five boxes, it is estimated, and
eight year old trees something like
eight boxes.
This year s cotton acreage is
about - 700 in Imperial Valley, as

The plants are fruiting more heavily
this year than for number of sea

DOG STOPS AND

nine Prevents Danger
BY Using Dog Sense

Can a dog think? How intelligent
is dog?
The foregoing questions have been
asked thousands of times and an
illustration displaying high degree
of intelligence in a dog presented
itself yesterday afternoon.
Someone had left child's coaster
wagon standing on the sidewalk in
front of the Piggly Wiggly store on
F avenue. A big brown si1epherd
dog had been left to quad the
wagon. Anyone could grasp this who
came and saw for tile cog stood
by the wagon with his eyes occupied
between the vehicle and the door of
the store.
The wind was blowing half gale
and presently the wagon started to
roll slowly down the sidewalk Imme-
diately the attitude OF the dog
changed. His ears came up. He
cooked his head on one side and
regarded the wagon anxiously He
turned half toward the door of the
store as if contemplating rushing in
and giving the alarm. =
The wagon continued to roll Tor
some feet with the dog following
behind it and showing anxiety in
every line of his body Suddenly
the animals expression changed and
he registered action. He ran around
the moving wagon and planted him
self squarely in front of it. 1t rolled
against his chest and stopped and
the clever canine stood thus blocking
its progress and turning his head now
and again to regard the door of the
store with an air OF amused triumph.
He had made the discovery that his
body would stop the progress of a
toy wagon propelled by the wind and
he had, saved the property OF his
owner ttt

AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW .
The NUMBER OF ATOMS
in A MOLECULE? WHAT?

Do you know how many molecules
there are in one gram, atomic weight,
of any element?
Well, the answer is six nundred and
six and two-tenths sextillion. If you
doubt it, count them.
All of which is gathered from an
address before the Society of Arts
by DR.. Miles Sheriff., professor OF
theoretical chemistry at that instl-
tute, recently delivered Here is the
Associated Press report OF the lecture .
I'VE no longer doubt the existence
or reality OF atoms" he said 1T
is possible to determine the number
of molecules in one gram molecular
weight of a substance which is equal
to the number Of atoms in one gram
atomic weight OF any element This
huge number is six hundred and six
and two-tenths sextillion."
DR.. Sheriff. said that Professor
w. l.. Bragg, OF the University OF
Manchester, England, now lecturing
at the institute, had shown how it
was possible by study OF X-ray re-
flecticn from crystal surfaces to de-
termine the exact position and Spac-
1IlRO II dOOlllo ia CIyOJctlO.
The lecturer showed a screen pic
ture of the Brownian motion Of
mercury particles. Study of this
motion, DR.. Sheriff. said, made it
possible to count atoms and mole
cules. He also showed an ultra
microscope through which molecular
motion in coIloidal solution Oh gold
was visible. The particles of gold
were seen as bright spots moving
with a perpetual random motion,
much as Notes OF dust in dark
room are made visible by beam Of
sunlight.
DR.. Sheriff. demonstrated the Gel,
ger counter, an instrument SO sensi-
tive that it will detect even q single
electron The counter was connected
with an electrical amplifying system,
and, when an object coated with a
radilun paint such as is used on
wrist watches was held near the
instrument a series OF raps was neard
A piece of radiu1n passed in front
of the counter caused quick sue
cession OF raps.
''These raps," DR.. Sheriff. said, "are

''Dr. H. c. Blulpgart, of the Boston

wonderful application OF the instru-
ment. He injects a trace, one quad
