John Ashton, editor Of the Valley
Farmer, enjoyed his aerial tour of
Mexico Immensely in spite Of the
fact that he flew across the Sierra

rain.
He writes to The Herald Of his
trip:
Agreeable to my promise. I am

tai will not exceed 5000 cars.
The 1928 imports were approx
mately Is per cent of the produc-
ton Of the early states. OF course
these imports id not come into
competition With all the production
and the principal effect was upon
the earliest producing sections.
principally the Valley. California
and southern Florida. These figures
would indicate that if production in
the early sections Is increased over
the 5000 cars represented by for
eign imports last year the tomato
growers will be confronted with the
same condition as obtained in 1927
when profits were a minus quantity
The fact must be borne in mind
that no tariff rate can set aside
the law Of supply and demand. This
American public will consume a GER
tain amount Of tomatoes and any
surplus production will tend to drive
down the price On the entire crop
as it did in 1927. Also, If the grow
ers believe that they will get the
full benefit of the rate. three cents

Ire doomed OF disappointment. II
the farm value were increased three
cents per pound. that would mean
an advance of five to eight cents

ing TO the averages on retail prices

are certain limit 10 what the con-
sumner can pay. If production Is
held to a reasonable level a profit

prices the consumers "a pay. In
the event Of over-production the
producers will lose. and the differ
ence in the price to the consumer
will be almost negligible.

BY ALAN j. GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, May Is. CFt-Helen
Wills, OFF on her fifth invasion OF
European courts, carries the same
threat Of conquest at tennis that
Walter Hagen does In golf.
Each has accounted single-hand-
ed for more American victories a.
broad than any other competitor In
any sport. This Is no ordinary
achievement when IL IL considered
that since the war. the United States
has sent nearly all its champions,
including Molla Mallory. Bill Tilden.
Bobby Jones. Walter Hoover. Jack
Kelly, Charley Paddock. Bud Bar
butt. Glenna Collett, Gertrude
Ederle. Martha Ncrelius and Johnny
Weissmuller.
Miss Wills began her European
invasion successfully when she won
the Olympic tennis crown in 1924.
She was runner-up at Wimbledon
the same year and in 1926 lost her
memorable encounter to Suzanne
Lenglen on the Riviera bit she has
Mt been beaten since.
The Californian has Just been
formally introduced at Buckingham
but she needs no introduction to
Wimbledon where the center court
is the world spotlight of tennis. In
two years Miss Wills has lost only
one set in championship COMPETE
ton, here or abroad. and that was
in an early round at Wimbledon In
1927. to Gwynneth Sterry.
