Throngs of Farmers Hear Lec-

cultural Subjects

Gait was the first stop made yester-
day by the special agricultural and
horticultural and demonstration train
sent out by the$outhern Pacific. Three
hours were spent in the town. giving.
ample time for the exhibit cars to be
seen and also for a series of lectures
by the professors on board
A luncheon was served by the resi-
dents and at 1890 p. m. the train was
off for Acampo, where a successful
meeting was held. Two hours were
spent at this point
Lodi was reached at D. M. where
the cars were thrown open for the
inspection. lmpromptu speeches were
made and there was a great deal of
individual explanation work done bv
the educators, as the big speeches were
left for the evening meeting.
AT 1880 p. m. the party was conducted
to large hall, where speeches were
made and questions answered till after
10 o'clock.
C. J. Jones made a short address to
the viticulturists. He said in part:
When boy in school I was told
by my schoolmaster that the most
beautiful poetry in the world, also the
most instructive, was the Bucolics of
Virgil. That ancient poet wrote much
about vines, both table and grape, and
djscoursed learnedly as TO short and
vine f1ourishe@ best on open hiIlsides.
I'VE are willing to concede that the
ancient Italians knew a great deal
about many things of which we at
present know absolutely nothing. but
am bold enough to say that / do not
believe there lived any viticulturist in
the neighborhood of Virgirs sunny
home who knew more about Tokay
grapes than the good people of Lodi.
who ever heard of such yields as those
of Lodi's acres? Who ever saw such

By K. X. fHOmmedieu

The Fisk rubber companys new home
at Golden Gate avenue and Larkin

George d. Johnson, the coast manager,
in planning the new home did not

be built both in Golden Gate avenue
and in front of the Larkin street wing.
These are sunk below the level of the
street. The tanks can be tapped with
a section of hose and are for the bene-
mt or the users of Fisk tires. Every
user is provided with a key which will
open the iron plate over the storage
