labor" Brock saidd, there being
minimum of disturbances as con-
trasted to those of former years.
"One factor which undoubtedly
contributed to the better condition
of agriculture in this state was
the operation of various federal
and state marketing laws. As re-
CARDS milk, the various markets
have been stabilized to remark
able extent and milk wars have
all but disappeared from our eco
nomic situation"
Brock implied dissatisfaction with
comparatively small federal crop
and soil conservation payments to
California farmers.
Less than $5,500,00O was paid
California for the first 10
months of 1897 he said, whereas
one large state has received about
seven times that much in the
same period"
Rates Increased
Evidently referring to the request
of the nations railroads for rate
increases, now under consideration
of the interstate commerce COM
mission, Brock added:
Transportation rates are ad-
vancing and, in view of the fact
that California producers send most
Of their crops some 5000 miles to
the metropolitan markets Such an
increase is matter of seriousness
to California growers"
He lauded the work of the divi-
sion of animal industry in its bo-
vine tuberculosis eradication pro-
gram, pointing out that 36 of the
states SO counties now have been
designated as modified accredited
tuberculosis free areas by the U. S.

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. l. UP)-
Overwork of course, is the chief
burden that a sportswriter has to
carry. I don't suppose any profess
sion, unless it be that of baseball
ulmpiring, places such a premium
on stamina and the will to carry
on past human endurance. Sports
writers, like oxen, die off early.
Who ever heard of an octogenarian
sports writer, or of one who sub
scribed to the Townsend Plan?
Why, since I've been here on the
coast I've seen members of the
craft who didn't even have time
to sleep.
Right behind overWork as a bur-
den ranks friendship. Yes, friend
ship. Now I know that friendship
stands high among mans bless
ings, and is even placed above
scrambled eggs and bacon on some
lists. Still, friendship has caused
me many heart ache since /
turned from Anchovy Curling
(where the masters of the work
predicted a brilliant future for
me) to sports writing.
Let me use today's Rose Bowl
game as an illustration.
Alabama is coached by Frank
(Tommy) Thomas, an old friend
of mine, and one of the sweetest
characters who ever showed
guard how to guard. and a quar-
terback how to quarterback. I've
played golf with Tommy, snot quail
with Tommy, and had snifter
or two with Tommy. In short, he's
guy I like.
Think 1 want to see Tommy's
team lose? 10, because 1 know how
much he wants a win, and how long
that ride back to Tuscaloosa will
be if he loses.
Okay, you say, pull for Alabama
But wait a minute
California is coached by Stub

National deficits-when they cross

ton that her dollar won't buy

Recessions and depressions -

chant!
The test of democracy, for ex-
ample, is the ability-or inability
Of a people to work out it's own
destiny; to govern itself intelli-
gently; to slow up when the road
signs read: Danger Ahead" to
recognize that a successful society,
like successful marriage, must
be give proposition; to
be ever mindful of the fact that
there is no substitute for individual
enterprise and initiative; to appre-
ciate that public debt, like private
debt, is serious responsibility.
California, during 1888, will go
to the polls to pass on many mea-
sures-good, bad and indifferent.
And how California voters vote
will have an important bearing
on how they prosper or suffer, not
only in 1898, but in the years TO
come.

New Uses Are
Found for Honey

The power OF honey to absorb

industrial uses, in addition to its
value as food, studies by the Bur-

This quality of honey. Galley "hyg-
roscopicity", will make for greater
use of the honey grades not adapt

Bureau studies included the be-
havior OF honeys of different

useful in commercial baking of
bread, cake. and cookies. Then
these products are made with part

made with other sweetening
agents. Buckwheat honey gives

CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURE HAS RECORD YEAR
The Farmers Corner
BY Ralph Taylor
"What Does 1888 Hold"

The New Year, 1938-what does
it portend?
For every Californian-and ev-
cry man, woman and child -
whether in America, in war-torn
China, or in ships that toss on
the seven seas-the gods of des-
tiny weave a separate pattern.
No soothsayer can read the stars
with accuracy for any number of
the human race; the year 1887
is a well-thumbed book whose pag
eS we have read and turned, but
the year 1888 is new mystery we
must live TO understand.
If you gauge the future by an
intelligent study of the past, how
ever, there are certain clues that
are clearly defined-shoals that
have been charted; trial-and- error
lessons, painfully learned, but in

ing minor and major tragedies in
the year just ahead.
Here are just few of the les
sons of 1887 that should be written
on your calendar at the start of
1893.
Stocks that go up invariably come
down. Ask the man who owns

Strikes, like wars, bring no vic
tories. Both sides, in the end, pay
heavy toll for Grass stupidity. Ask
any striker-when the represen-

hearing distance. Ask any employ

ance sheet!
The shell-pocked Road to Glory
OF modern warfare is blind street,
ending in the funeral pyre or the

Wages, artificially boosted be-

Four Rule Changes
Sought by Coaches

LOS ANGELES. Jan. l. CUP)-
Four recommended changes in rules
were forwarded today to the Ma

3. Movement of ball in Is yards

4. Permission for the defense,
as we'll as offense, to score a point

Alfalfa Market

Alfalfa markets were dull but

cording to the Weekly Alfalfa Hay
Market Review of the Federal
State Market News Service. Trad

showing practically no outstanding

Moderate offerings continued to
meet a light, slow demand at the
Los Angeles markets. Inquiry from
dairymen in Southern California
was extremely small with recent
timely rains tending to improve
prospects for coming green feed.
The narrow demand in the San
Francisco trade territory generally
reflected unusually liberal supplies
