Almost simultaneously, however, Port Adelaide was bullt" some six miles from the city and | seven or eight miles up the coast| from the river's mouth.

The situ- ation is not uniike that of Los An- geles, also established inland, which has ‘built its port on the nearest ! sult water; or llke that of Lima,! Peru, whigh has its port, Callao, ight miles distant. i “Adelaide s the third city in size in Australia, being surpassed only by Sydney and Melbourne, Its population of about 260,000 makes it comparable to Portland, Oregon, or Denver, It is well built and is particularly rich in parks. One unigne feature is the ringing round of the butiness district by & zone ‘ot park Jand eyond which lies the residential sections. - Wide streets mand substantial ‘bulldings., combined with the parks, give Adelaide nt[ once the appearance of a thriving ' mart of trade nmfl\u substantial home eity. - | “Adelaide owes much to its im- KEEP POSTED AL" ADS KEEP THE HOUSEWIFE POSTED AND TRULY REFLECT WHOLESALE DING “NATIONAL” ADS AND BY A CONOMY, WHICH IS THE WATCHWORD OF THE NEW ADMINIS- TRATION, WILL BE REFLECTED IN YOUR PURCHASES II YOU KEEP POSTED AND SAVE and extends up #nd down the coast, Is a level and ferthle region closely packed with farms and gardens, { Back ot this 15 m strip, about sdven or eight miles from the city, | rises the Mt, Lofty range of hills affording excellent pasturage. The geoMer slopes are used for fruit growing and wine produgtion. In the rougher portions of "the hills nmny prosperous Adelaldians have built summer homes. “Parks do not stop with Ade- laide's municipal limits, Numerous national parks and reservations have been set apart in the hills.

Eight Year Period — Manchester, March 6.—Decline of the birth rate in England hap be- come a national peril in the opin- lon of Sir Robert Blalr, former chief | education officer of the London County Councll, who, speaking at a Manchester educational conference, estimated that within the next eight years there would be 2,000,000 fewer workers {n this country, “Within the last few years, the birth rate has falled oft tremendous- | 1y," he sald, “and appears even yet to be going down. We are losing /100,000 children a year from each age group in the schools and on this | basis, from calculations I have | made, by 1932 there will be some 2,000,000 less workers In England.” | Taking this year as an example, | assérted Sir Robert, the board of ed- | | ucation is budgeting for a milllon 14 years ago, Decrease of the birth rate during the years of the war in some meas- | ure accounts for the reduction in fthe number 6t children who are now attaining school age, according to ministry of health officials, { + i American Says He Has Shown That | Mexican Lands Are Available for Growing ot 'cane, | Acaponeta, Nayarit, Mex,, March | | 6. +— Willlam Dunn, an American, says he has demonstrated that sugar-cane may be grown on ex- | tensive areas of this district without | the usual necessity of artificial irri- gation, | " Mr. Dunn is manager of the| Haclenda de Quimichis, a Cali-| fornia-owned holding of some 85,~ | 000 acres located on the Acaponeta river west of this city. Growers say the discovery is likely to prove of economic importance. Production of sugar on & large scale Without irri- gation will save much money now devoted to pumping plants or grav- ity canals, According to Mr, Dunn, there are dreds of thousands of acres of stremely fertile river bottom lands lying wasted in the deltas of the Nayarit which are capable of pro- | ducing sugarcane without irriga- | tion, The soil is a fine river silt and | very deep. This allows the direct | penetration of the heavy rainfall of fho summer, without the usual run- | off. The ground thus i thoroughly caturated to a considerable depth, and a condition of sub-irrigation s found to exist. In the experimental plantings he has obtained an ave rage yleld above thirty tons an.acre | within a year. The region is frost- | less, with a ple t climate. | S ;TIIE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS BRING RESUL EXCEPTIONAL POULTRY SPECIALS FRESH-KILLED . FANCY FRICASSEEING CHICKENS YOUNG FOWL (1 TO 6 LBS.
