A NEW FARMER

Our old friend and contemporary, the
Imperial Valley Farmer appears on our
desk this morning with a new dress
which certainly improves its appearance.
We welcome it into the ranks of the eight
column brigade which it has joined at
last after stunning the idea all these
ears.
"Wise And Otherwise is the heading
over the personal column of the editor
and publisher, George Bennitt, late of the
Holtville Tribune. A former Press Off
cial, relations between this publication
and the new publisher of the Farmer
have always been cordial and can only be
intensified now that we are neighbors.
We will look forward to the Farmers
arrival each week. The first issue under
the new management gives promise OF
continual improvement from week to
week. this being the objective mentioned
by the publisher in his column.
We are making Dr. Einstein feel Just

SUBSTANTIAL DECLINE
FOLLOWS STOCK RALLY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 3.-Since It
reached its high level week ago, the
stock market has had an average de-
cline of 10 points. It has been losing
ground at about the same rate that 1t
gained it In the previous week.
The thinness of the market has been
illustrated in the wide-open breaks that
have occurred in stocks like Allied
Chemical which, is down nearly 20
points, in many of the popular public
utilities such as American 81 Foreign
Power, International Telephone and
American Water Works, and in railroad
shares like Baltimore g. Ohio, which
is off 10 points and New York Central,
down IL points. Numerous stop-loss-or-
defs have been reached, as those who
had profits have protected them by
this means Brokers this morning
thought the market would react further
and the high level of February "a would
stand for some time as the upper price
range. They expected, however, that
there would be frequent rallies.

NATURAL GASOLINE
PRODUCTION GAINS
U. S. Accounted for ola Per Cent
Of World Total in 1929,
Says Survey.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
World production of natural gasoline
increased 40 per cent in 1929 as COM
pared with 1927, the United States
Bureau of Mines reports.
The report shows production during
the latter period at 58.200,357 barrels,
and was made at the request of a
number of American oil companies to
supplement current data on the do
nestle production of natural gasoline
and world production Of crude petro-
leum. The information was assembled
from Official publications Of foreign
governments, through the cooperation
of consular and commercial represen-
tatives in various foreign countries,
and through the assistance of num-
Der of companies operating in foreign
countries.
During 1929 United States produc-
ton accounted for Ola per cent of
the world total, but the output of for
eign plants formed an increased pro-
portion of the total, advancing from
So per cent in 1927 to SO per cent in
1929.
On the 1929 production of SOFT 300
barrels reported for foreign countries
about 100000 barrels were mixed

with crude and transported from pro-
ducing properties, the quantity of natu-
raj gasoline production being included
in the figures of crude oil production.
while the remaining quantity was
transported separately, either by pipe
line, tanker or tank car to reflneries
for blending with naphthas in the pro-
duction of motor fuel.
Aside from the United States, natu-
raj gasoline production in 1929 was re-
ported for 16 countries, namely, Meth
erland East Indies, Peru. Persia, Ru-
mania, Russia, Poland, Colombia, Ven
eZuela. Argentina, British India, Japan
and Taiwan, British Borneo, Egypt,
