Writes From California

Mr.. Herman Harper of Hanford,
Calf, in renewing his subscription
to the Democrat, wrote:
We have a very short crop Of
raisins and wine grapes in this state
this year. The peaches and april
cots were below normal, especially
the apricots. The cotton harvest is
in full swing, one month ahead of
average picking, with promise of
500 TO 750 pounds of lint cotton
per acre average, or above average.
The alfalfa hay crop is one of the
best, due to a long growing season..
Most fields have been cut six times,
with about one ton per eating per
acre for the better stands. Our lr-
rigation water from the mountains
was very short this year, which

JUCOSLAVlA IS
 IN MUCH TURMOIL

Belgrade, Jugoslavia. Dec 19.- (UP)-Prince Paul and his two fellow regents, ruling for Il year. old King Peter, conferred today with political leaders on formation of a cabinet whose makeup will determine whether the country is to be administered by civilians or army generals.
 The crisis is one of the most inn portant in the country's recent his- tory. The observation-disclosures dispute over the assassination of King Alexander caused it. Ma tionalists want a government led by the military element to insure a strong policy against Hungary and against revision of World War treaties. Premier Nikola UZonovic and his cabinet resigned yesterday. The failure of Foreign Minister Bogoljub Jevtic to persuade the league of nations to proclaim Hun gary morally responsible for Alex ander's assassination precipitated the resignation. Street crowds demonstrated against Hungary, Italy and the league of nations.

 AGAINST JAPAN
Naval Conference Goes Under for Present;
 Treaty Denounced

London, December 19-UP)- The 1894 naval conference, planned to check the rising tide of increased armaments, came to fruitlesS end today when British, Japanese and American delegates voted ad- tournament of the negotiations sine die. Earlier Japan had form ally denounced the Washington naval Limitations treaty.
 It was significant that adjourn ment was delayed until Japan had acted.
 The final session, in an atmos- phere of bitter disappointment, was held at the house of commons, un- der the chaidmanship of Prime Minister J. Ramsay Macdonald. In the eyes of many experts, the fail ure of the talks and the Japanese treaty action threaten a world navy building race.
 In the proceedings here today was one glimmer of hope. Int Japanese chief delegate, Esufleo Matsudaira, placed on record Jap- ans '"desire to set date for re- sumption of the conversations. T asking that the conference name a day at once.
 Japan Yields Point
 Japan deferred to the wish of the British and American represen- tatives. however, that the sine die adjournment be taken, and that the initiative for resumption should be left to the discretion of the British government.
 The chief question now is wheth- CT Japan will make new and con crete limitation proposals.

 DEAD IN ATLANTA

 CTS of Nation

Atlanta, Dec 19-(UP)-Eugen F. Black, 61, liaison man between the Roosevelt administration and the nations bankers, and former governor of the federal reserve board, died of a heart attack today at his home.
 Black had been indisposed for about three days, but he and mem- bers of his family did not think the illness was serious. Last night, however, a physician was called. About 4:30 a. m. today he suffered a heart attack which proved fatal a half hour later.
 Starting his career as an attor- ney in Atlanta, he entered the banking business on July 1, 1921. when he was elected president of the Atlanta Trust company.
 His fame soon became well known as a banker and he was elected governor of the Atlanta federal reserve bank on Jan l, 1928.
 During the present administra- ton. President Roosevelt relied heavily on Blacks judgment on banking matters and he became governor of the federal reserve board early in 1883.
 For 15 months he was prevailed upon by President Roosevelt to re- main in Washington but finally on Aug 16. he returned to Atlanta.
 Black was known for. his dry wit, and was popular in Atlanta so- ciety. He frequently played golf with Bobby Jones, his Atlanta neighbor.
 Once, after a disastrous round with Jones and other golfers, he entered the country club locker room and said:
 "Well. at least I can take as good a bath as any member of this group"

PANAMA CANAL IS EASY TARGET FOR
 ENEMY COUNTRY
Twenty Men Could Blast
 All Defenses to Pieces -- in~Fwelve Hours "-'

 Copyright 1884, by United Press)
 New York, Dec 19.-(UP)- Twenty men, willing to risk their lives for their country, could blast the Panama canal to pieces in 12 hours, and block the channel for months, according to Nelson Roun- sevell, publisher of the Panama American.
 By dint of prodigious energy and a natural residence of spirit. Rounsevell has made one of the few successes out of an American language newspaper south of Mex ico and has preached the gospel of Panama defense for years in his publication.
 In an interview to-day, he re- peated the charges he has. made openly, and backed them with stories of his own theoretical de- struction" of the canal. Appro- priately, 1t was learned that the long ditch is now more closely guarded than ever in its history. largely through Rounsevell,s eX- posture of it's weaknesses.
 Better Guarded Now
 It is impossible, to-day, to ap- proach the canal itself, by night, without running afoul of armed sentries. In other years, a group of enemies might have run it's en- tire length, sowing destruction where they pleased, without let or hindrance.
 Rounsevell brought this situation to the attention of the Panama canal authorities, and to the armv and navy, in series of spectacular proofs that his charges were not nonsense
