CONVENTION HALL. NEW YORK,
June e7.-When the lid of Vesuv1us
blows of. it must be something like
Madison Square Garden when Al
Smith was placed in nomination.
OF course, it was a scientifically
orga nized and staged demonstration.
All convention demonstrations are pre-
arranged But certs nly not since the
Chicago Coliseum went insane over
Teddy Roosevelt in 1904 have dele
gates and galleries at party con-
clave ever joined in more joyous
spontaneous and nerve racking out
burst than the bedlam unloosed In
Smiths honor. The crowd could
hardly wait for Franklin Roosevelt to
end his uncommonly fine and dignified
speech. Printed copies were in cir
culation among persons placed stra-
tegicaIly throughout the Garden. They
were able to signal that the moment
for the din was at hand. Then Hell
,-oke loose" as AIS pals put it.
xhere's no use denying that the
governor is the idol of his people.

For the first time in convention his
tory, Democratic leaders say, the gal
leries were allowed to pour onto the
floor and join in the procession OF
standards. Criticism of the Smith
crowd was general and bitter on that
score. 1t was assailed as unsports-
manlike and as taking unfair ad-
UG
the populace of a city of six millions
to draw on for demonstration pur-
poses Above the speakers platform
Smith rooters let down from the top
most balcony huge sign ready;
"Al Smith Always Wins There it
seems likely to remain for the rest of
the convention. The way in which the
galleries broke into Smith frenzy has
gone far toward convincing the nom
Smith contingent that Madison Square
Garden, after all, has been effectually
packed in the governors interest.
Quite evidently, his leaders think the
convention can be stampeded.

Although by no means as noisy or as
lengthy as tne Snltn JOy-r1Qe tHe oeia-
onstrators for Ralston of Indiana and
Richie Of Maryland were picturesque
and impressive. The Hoosier senator's
nominator instantly caught the fancy Of
| the speech-wearied throng by announc-
ing that he would confine his remarks to
the single sheet Of paper he held before
him. And he kept his word. Then, while
the Indiana delegation, plentifully sup
ported in the galleries, was cheering for
Ralston, beauteous Anna Case, Metro
politan Opera star, led the congregation
in Indiana's state anthem, "On the
Banks of the Wabash" There was that
homespun touch about tho episode that
seemed to typify the statesman waiting
back home for something to turn UP

An increase of $4,000 over the
amount received by valley dairy
men who are members of the cow
testing association in Imperial Val
ley in the last nine months, over
the preceding nine months, is evi-
denee that testing pays in the opin-
ion of many local dairymen. The
average production per COW shows
d dscidcd increase, according to
Assistant Farm Advisor Eern De
Tar who is charting the results OF
the past years work of the COW
testing association.
The average cow III Imperial Val
ley produced 239.9 pounds of but
ter fat during the nine months just
passed. This average includes pure
bred and grade cows and is consid-
cred very good by De Tar for val
ley cows. The COW testing work in
this county. was. started in Decem-
ber, 1922, and the association has
grown steadily since that time.
The production increase was no
tieed especially by dairymen who
fed silage during the cold weather
last winter. Honey sorghum is the
type of silage used in the valley
and best results were obtained when
some hay and a little green feed
was used. Culling of boarder cows,
improved dairy, methods, ami in
creased interest on the part of the
individual dairymmen in their
herds accounts for IL considerable
portion of the $4,000 added TO the

ing problems nave received but
scant attention in the past, the rec
ord association is important accord
inga to De Tar.
The building of silos and use of
silage, the breeding with purebred
bulls, the improved milking meth
ods, more and better feed, and am
pie shaded areas for relief from the
sun would do much to send the
production records higher and high
er, and thereby add many dollars
to the dairvman s ultimate profit,
says Adviser De Tar.
The dairying industry is classed
as the mos. lucrative in Imperial
Valley according to statistics com
piled in q recent Chamber of Com
merce survey of industries. The
work is. tedious and exacting, but
the profits are larger and are sub
iect to increase in proportion to
the amount fcare and interest q

market for dairy products is steady
