However, President Roosevelt has
made no definite plans for trips.
although he is expected to visit
Arkansas and Texas late in May.
Pointedly, the President denied
that he had been formerly in
vited" by the Governor General
to visit Canada but admitted that
they frequently correspondent on
many topics.
Some of. the correspondents at
the nations Capital are intimating
that big industrialists and finan-
ciers are showing signs of read
mess to make terms with the
Roosevelt Administration. So far
as we are able to see, there is lit
tie basis for any reapproachment.
True enough. the opposition to the
President, engineered and in
spired by big business, has so far
failed to achieve substantial re-
suits. However, before the cam
paign comes to close the attack
will be resumed and, it may be,
with telling effect.

Quite likely an effort will be
made to set up something like an
American League of Nations, with
its duties confined exclusively to
this side of the world. Perhaps
one result will be the joint sup
port of the principles of the Mon
roe Doctrine and a gradual relaXa-
ton of trade bans which have
done much harm. Mr.. Saavedra-
Lamas. foreign minister of Ar
gentina. has proposed a pact with
teeth enough to prevent war. and
provide five-year tariff truce be-
tween American nations.
Whether the WPA can finance

adverse decision in Circuit Court
of Appeals, where the right of the
Government to make such loans
was upheld in the opinion written
by Senior Judge John ]. Parker.
In fact. Judge Parker. who was
defeated in the Senate for a place
on the Supreme Court because of
"liberal" opposition. wrote an
opinion that was widely construed
as broadly unfolding the funda-

Army of Hunters
To Take Field IN
Drive Upon Deer

u. S. forest rangers, acting as neu-
tral observers in California's an
nual campaign against the 270,0O0
mule and black tail deer in the
state, predict that a volunteer army
of over 10000 red shirts will take
the field this year. If this lore
cast is correct some 900 tons OF
venison will be discussed in council
at the dinner tables with the chiefs
Of staff and their red shirt hus-
bands For every rifleman who
comes home with his bonus there
will be about seven who will have
to explain to the reparationS com
mittee how he will absorb the cost
of his campaign out of his lunch
money and why he didn't do better
shooting.
Although deprived of the use of
machine guns, airplanes, and gas
and forbidden to set fire to the ter
ritory occupied by the deer, an army
of 19,600 hunters brought down
1926 bucks in 1885 Forest rangers
find that red shirts gained six per
cent in numbers over the previous
year and the kill was IL per cent
greater, showing that the boys are
now better marksmen or the deer
more careless.
As part of forest service game
management studies, made to enable
the red shirts to continue this an
nual campaign, rangers took notes
on $500 of the bucks killed for
weight, condition, antler class anG
locality. This will enable them to
determine the geographical distribu-
ton, intensity of hunting, the av-
erage sized animal and the effect
iVenesS of the 36 state and two fed
eral game refugees covering over two
million acres in the national for
ests of California.
In general the rangers founc
that there is a normal increase IL
the California deer herd estimated
now at 10000 black tail and 145,0 ,00t
mule deer in spite of a reduction
in black tail in certain parts of tht
state caused by illegal hunting
Predatory animals are responsible
for more than double the number
of deer killed by hunters.

at the bedside. He was stricken
i'll about two and one-half years
ago and since that time spent
most of his time in bed or close
to his Carmel home. His condi-
tion had been critical for the past
six months.
Regarded as one of the most out
standing influences in American
journalism in recent times, Steffens
in the last several years has been
noted especially for prolific writing
on political philosophy.
He was a native of San Francisco.
He was graduated from the Uni
versity of California where he re-
ceived a degree of philosophy, and
then studied in Europe, attending
the Sorbonne, the University OF
Berlin and Heidelberg.
Remarked i'm 1924
During his European studies, he
married Josephine Bentecou, now
deceased. He married his second
wife, herself a noted writer, in
Paris in 1924
Returning to the United States
Steffens began his journalistic
career as financial writer in New
York. He became city editor of
the New York Evening Post later
moving to the city desk Of the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
He left newspaper work in 1902
to become managing editor of Nc
Clures magazine, and soon attract
ed nation wide attention with his
series of articles of municipal pol
itics, published under the title OF
'gThe Shame of The Cities"
Later he carried on the work
with a series of articles entitled
THE Struggle For Self-Govern-
ment."
Steffens was one of the first ant
greatest "muckrakers" of American
journalism. He was leader if
the school of thought which ad.
vacated that the fourth estate ac

The Vatican's note asked the

FARM PRICES
SURVEY MADE

While present farm prices in the
main, compare favorably with the
so-called normal years, 1911-1915,
there is still a substantial differ
entail when compared to 1928-1929
prices, according to a graphic sum-
ming up of the situation by the
Giannini Foundation of the Uni
versity of California College Of
Agriculture.
The top" this year to date for
beef cattle was $604 a hundred
weight in January, as compared to
the 1938-1939 top" of 1898. Veal
calves brought $840 a hundred
weight in February, March and
April of this year as against "top"
of $12O8 in 1928-1929 of $10.27
Sheep were $4.60 a hundredWeight
in January. as against the 1928-l929
"top" of $845, differential of ap-
proXimately so per cent. Lambs hit
$3.50 in March, still $3.40 a hun
dredweight below the previous best
price. There is a less decided diff
ference between the present prices
of milk, milk fat, butter and eggs
and pre-depression quotations, al
though eggs at 19 cents a dozen
in March went lower than any
other egg quotation in the whole
period covered by the Foundation's
report.
Horses per heat, were the highest
this year since 1918, topping all
pre-depression figures. They are
now selling at Sill. The differen-
tial between present prices of bar
ley, wheat, oats, and corn ranges
around so per cent, of the pre-
depression figures. and the same
can be said Of beans. The last quo
tation on potatoes, however, was
S1.80 a bushel, the only field crops
on the list that has topped the
1928-1929 figure.
Oranges at So a box in June,
compare with the depression
,hligh" of 1892 and lemons are
S3.95 a box as against $4.86 in the
same comparison.
However, all items covered, with
the exception of potatoes and lem
ons. seem to have been riding on
a fairly even keel since the first
Of the year, indicating the setting
IN, at least, of period of Stabiliza-
ton and an increasing knowledge
of market demands.

Imperial Valley will witness the
growing of at least 10 test plant
ings of sugar beets this year, ac
cording to H. Lee Landerman, as
sistant county agent. Growers are
enthusiastic over results of one test
planting the past season by Walter
Hunt and Sons on the Hunt ranch
near Verde.
Landerman has been in repeated
contact with Charles w. Stocker
field representative of Holly Sugar
Co., Santa Ana. Stocker has pre-
pared planting outlines which will
be used to guide the test work this
year. These are now in the hands
of Landerman who IS contracting
grower co-operators to conduct the
tests. Seed and supervision are to
be furnished for the tests by the
sugar company.

7FENS FAMOUS NEWSPAPERMAN, DIES ON COAST
TEST PAINTINGS WILL BE MADE
OF SUGAR BEETS FOR VALLEY

he spent August 6 and 7 in the
valley in the interest of laying the
groundwork for the plots and in
conference with the various coop
orators selected
Results obtained from the plant
ings by Walter Hunt and Sons the
present season, showed encouraging
possibilities for sugar beets locally
In fact" said Landerman, lit has
long been known that beetS WoulC
do we'll here, but not until recent
ly has there been developed type
resistant to the various beet dis
cases and pests, notably leaf hopper
and beet wilt" It was found that
for large beets, weighing from fou
and one half to seven pounds each
averaged between 10 and II pei
cent sugar only and yielded an aV
erage purity of 1879 per cent. The
medium and small sized beetS rang
ing in weight from "a to 2.3 pounds
ranged in sugar content from 1877
per cent for the small to 17.6 per
cent for the 23 pound beets. Pur-
ity for these groups averaged 1873
and $40 per cent respectively.
It becomes obvious, judging from
the brief experiment this year, that
growers should seek to produce a
larger number of smaller beets pc,
acre which will yield a maximum Of
sugar. Moreover, Landerman, main
tains the purity of the smaller beets
is greater than the larger sizes, re
quiring less refining. A third point
is the excess weight involved in
! handling the larger beets. If and
when beets become grown here COM
mercially it will be necessary to
maui them to the nearest mill, which
! is more than 200 miles distant. The
above sugar company, normally op-
crates for several months in the fall
usually from July Is to October l.
The dates of harvest beetS grown
locally would be from April Is tC
June Is or July l, setting up new
schedule for mill operation. Al
present the mill referred to is un
able to prepare for a small volume
in their normal out of season per
iod. That factor prompted the de-
cision to do a year of thorough fielC
research before encouraging com.
mercial scale paintings of sugar
beets locally.
The planting outlines furnished
by Stocker provide for six date
of planting ranging at two week in
tervals from September Is to Dec
ember l. The thinning guide call
for 10, 8, and inch spacings o
the beets respectively in the ROY
of the beets. Co-operators will neet
to devote land, approximately on
acre. water, and some labor to tn
tests.

governments of st. Louis, Mime
apolis, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleve-
land, Philadelphia and other cities
were followed in almost every case
by a reform government.
Steffens had no faith in high
pressure reform and ridiculed the
efforts Of various reform societies,
which he himself often revealed as
backed by corrupt interests.
His autobiography, written with
anecdotal material of Americas
outstanding figures during the past
half century, was a best seller He
drew many impressions favorable
to the new revolutionary regime Of
Russia during a visit there in 1919
with the Bullitt Mission, and wrote
in defense of the Soviet govern
ment.
This trend soon lost him many
friends. He was barred from nu-
merous clubs, called a red and a
philosophic communist.
He had lived at Carmel-By-The-
Sea, Pacific coast art and liberal
colony, for seven years.
