The delegates interested IN grain
saw how some of the Sacramento
Valley producers are saving approx
imately SO per ton by handling their
grain in bulk rather than in sacks.
In Sonoma county, dairymen were
convinced of the profit of feeding
dairy COWS grain and other concen-
trates in proportion to the amount
of butterfat produced by each ami
NAL. 1t was shown that low pro-
ducing cows which had been receiv-
ing large amounts of concentrate
ration was reduced; while an in
creased ration of concentrates to
high producing animals also result
ed in their producing more butter
fat as well as maintaining a better
condition of flesh. Fruit growers
were interested in improved
methods of fruit tree propagation
which are resulting in more profit
able fruit production. These meth
DDS included bud selection, the Gull
ing out of off type seeding root
stocks and the vegetative propaga-
tion Of superior varieties of root
stocks.
The Imperial County Farm Bu-
reau delegates report that the tour
was not only Of a great deal of ed
ucational value but that it was. an
inspiration as well. Farmers up and
down the state are endeavoring to
practice all possible economies and
use every method which will help
them to produce agricultural crops
of a finer quality than ever before.

broke the force of the fall some
what. A broken trapeze ring
was blamed for the accident.
Denies Injuries
Immediately after the fall, the
little star assured friends she was
not seriously hurt, and protested
against being taken to hospital.
AS she hurtled down, her shoul-
ders instinctively hunched in an
attempt to break the fall, but
physicians from the beginning
predicted she would never per
form under the "big top" again.
For a few hours after the acci-
dent she appeared to be imprOv-

shortly proved fatal. 1t brought
