FARM BODIES OF

Following the meeting of repre-.

prepared and issued pointing ont to
the farmer members of the organi-

Including the California Farm Bur

lative Committee to correct this err
roneous impression. Part of the
statement follows:
"When the 10th session of the
California legislature closed recent
| lv, the organized farm interests
iof this state had secured the en-
actment of legislation affecting
greater number of phases of agri-
cultural industry than ever before.
| Results Are Gratifying
GA few of the measures advocat-
Cd by the farmers in the major por-
ton of their program met defeat.
1t was, however, almost universal
ly conceded, even by the opponents
jof the measures lost, that they were
fundamentally sound politically and
economically, their justice could not
be questioned end their necessity so
urgent that sooner or later, regard
less of eXpe3ieney, they must be
Ifavorably considered.
Nevertheless the relatively
small number of proposed enact
,ments which the farm organizations
actively promoted for the economic
relief of agriculture carried with
them such q far reaching influence
toward the welfare and stability of
the industry that the results of our
efforts on the whole were extremely
gratifying.
"More phenomenallv noteworthy
even than the large measure of sue.
cess which resulted from our eff
forts was the splendid cooperation
of the statewide farm organizations
and their representatives En- this
fight before the legislature. 1t
ought TO be n most thorough dem
onstration of the necessity for ne

on the part of the Officers and
members of our statewide farm or

are possible Of achievement when
such whole hearted cooperation eX-

New York Commission to
Have Ten-Minute Bout
With Champ
By DAVIS ]. WALSH.

NEW YORK. April 28.-By way
of Iimbering up for the rigors and
privations Of European trip,
Jack Dempsey will step ten fast
minutes to an official decision with
the New York State Athletic Com
mission today. 1t will be return
bout, the commission having gain
ed the newspaper verdict on the
prior occasion when it banished the
champion to the outer darkness
for his neglect to accept the chal-
lenge of Harry Wills.
Dempsey will visit the commits
sion accompanied by Tex Richard
or so he said as late as last night.
The commission has received no
official notice of Dempsey's appear
ance at it's meeting, and the law
says a man can change his mind.
Will Dempsey fight Harry Wills
and, if so, when?
From years of repetition, the
writer has come to know the Demp-
sey-Kearns reply verbatim. They
will fight Wills, Gibbons or any
one. Their business is fighting.
When will they do it?
Just as soon as a responsible
promoter makes an offer that is
acceptable. Why ISN'T Wills chal-
lenge accepted? Well, you'll have
to ask Kearns about that. He
does the managing I do the fight

NEW PROSPECT

Mrs. Payne Whitney's Cham
tey Shows Glass in
Workout
By WILLIE FTTzPATRICK.

BALTIMORE, Nd. April 2S.-
The chances of the honors OF win.
ming the famed Kentucky Derby
by an Fastener was given biz
boost at Havre de Grace on Satur-
day when Mrs. Payne Whitney >
Chantey, donning silks for the first
time, stepped down in front In
track record time and disporting
himself in such q manner as to
stamp him q colt Of unusual class.
Many yarns were broadcast re-
Garding the colts greatness, but
the skeptical wanted to see him
run before being convinced. They
were convinced all right and so
much so that there was scramble
to get bets down on him to win the
Louisville classic before his price
was slashed.
No horse stepping out for the
first time made the impression that
Chantey did. With his hind legs
bandaged and his forelegs batheI
in iodine. he tore through the
stretch striding like Man O. War
and left his opposition at the six
teenth pole as though they We're
anchored.
In the early stages of the race
It looked as though he would not
even get a share Of the jack. He
broke greenly and for six furlongs
ran greenly, but once in his stride
he simply ate up ground and
snothered his rivals in the pinch.
This was really a great racehorse
and one to be figured on with the
best in the country.
