FINE ARRAY OF FRUITS,
 GRAINS, STOCKS, SOILS
From Mondays Examiner

poured into Yuma today from every
 quarter, all intent on visiting the Uni versity of Arizona demonstration train
 which demonstrates the kinds of crops and stock to raise and how to do it.
 The crops, machinery and stock on exhibition are of the best average Ari- zona products, and it is a revelation to many who visited the train today to learn just what this marvellous state produces.
 The Examiner was visited early by the members of the staff in charge of the train, among them being w. E.. Barnes, travelling representative of the Southern Pacific company, who accompanies the train to see that all details of transit are carefully carried out. In the party also was Stanley F. Moore of the press, who attends to the matter of publicity.
 The program at the train was most instructive as along modern progress | sive lines.
 The Yuma schools visited the train at the depot, from to 10:3O, and this was followed by demonstrations to which the public was invited. Among the subjects treated were: "The Paying Cow" by Frank Reed Sanders; Some Household Helps," by Mrs. w. H. Lawrence Gin the lecture carl; Cotton Insects by Dr. A. w. Nor rill; Commercial Date Growing" by Dr. A. E. Vinson.
 In the Stock Car
 In the stock car are four typical cows-an Ayrshire and her calf, Jer- sey, Guernsey and Holstein. Two of these belong to the University herd and two to the Evans school at Mesa. These cows are milked regularly and the test demonstrations are made from the milk thus secured
 A table has been compiled from the records of the herds tested by the 1 University during the past year, fifty l eight in all, of which sixteen were found to be operating at a loss. The | lnimals of these herds ate more than [ produced. The five typical cows in he table produced in butter fat $2S.e6, fN AS. $19.S0 and $1O.00 per month re- spectively and this with approximate [ y the same milk production. As one 0f the attendants says: "The moral is 5elf-evident; it cost just as much to i breed and feed the $1O COW as it did the $28.66 animal"
 In this car there are also a Shrop- shire and Tunis eve and a Ram bouillet ram which have been selected IS typical. A sheep table, showing the relative status of the sheep-raising states, shows that Arizona is 18th m he number of sheep owned, eleventh n the value of the sheep, and ninth in the annual yield per capital. Oregon gets $S.50 per head each year from her sheep, and Arizona gets but S6.25.
 There are also on exhibition two inc Hampshire hogs.
 Agricultural Car
 The second car is given over to the ( agricultural implements. This has , )een contributed by the various imple- , nent dealers of the state and shows ! he very latest and best tools as now r .dapted to Arizona conditions. One F if the valuable features of the exhibit f s table showing the loss in a care c essly operated gas engine It shows n rom actual tests that of two engines n ne operated with the best of care f nd the other with just common ev- ryday attention, the one developed 5 horsepower and the other but Is orse-power, with the same gasoline o
 Drag the Roads
 The Cement Pipe Company of Phoe ix has model concrete silo on ex- te ibition which is attracting no little ttention. The biggest feature of this nd, however, is a common split log pad drag, with the legend attached .ating that the drag costs less than 10 to make and less than $5 per year , operate. It will break down all the dges in the road, fill up the ruts and oles, keep the road well crowned and Yl lddle the surface so that t will shed ater. to
 Household and Chemistry ba Another car is devoted to fruits, it egetables and the exhibits of the al ousehold and chemistry department SC the University. Here one may see sr lrious food-stuffs graphically com tr lred as to value, oils of all sorts com su lred in the same way (and, inciden- fiji fly, the users of cotton seed oil will ev nd great reason for the faith that ne in them), and tables extending over any years. ce A feature of this exhibit is samples Ne cloth dyed with the contents of St rious food packages, Said the at
