from our wishes, the mind is too
excited or too much engrossed
with results to grasp anything but
the immediate moment.
Reviewing Experiences.
However, on looking back over
the past, we discover what thrill
ing times we went through, and
how the experiences stand out as
dramatic and OF significant inter-
est. Often we find ludicrous fea-
lures entered into the experience
but we had no eyes to see them
at the time. We can laugh over
them and actually enjoy the re-
membranes of what were breath
taking events when they hap
pened.
No Age Limit.
Since life il so full of expert
ences some of which turn out fe-
icitously, and others not SO sat
isfactorily, there must be good
reason for our having to go
through the events. I remember
when I was a little girl and there
was something which, to me,
seemed very important to decide
rightly, how ! envied grown-ups.
They always knew just what to

all appreciate how dull life would

the time we are born to the day
we die. Without them life would
be dull and uninteresting. The
more experiences are crowded in
to our lives the fuller and more
interesting they become.

ing Relations.
Dy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's Advisory Com
mittee on Education has undertaken
. study of vocational training as
major weapon against the dual prob
lem Of relief and unemployment
DR.. John T. David, secretary to the
committee headed by DR.. Floyd Reeves
of the University of Chicago, said yes
terday the committee is going into
that field as one of the important edu-
cational developments created by the
depression.
More Detailed Study Urged.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked the committee
last week to give more extended"
study to the whole subject of Federal
relationship to local education and re-
port before the next Congress session.
The possibility of cutting down un-
employment costs by reducing the pro-
portion of unskilled workers in Amer
icas labor market, David said in dis
eussing the study, lis one aspect you
can't get away from"
The House recently approved a
$l44S3,O 900 appropriation-more than
six times the budget directors recon-
mendation-for vocational training.
One of the supporters of the larger
appropriation was Representative
Allen, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, who
said vocational school graduates in
his district were 80 per cent employed.
earning as much as $55 week.
Report End Of Year.
David said the committee will make
no report until next December or
January, since the President has in
creased its scope from vocational edu-
cation alone to the whole field of the
Governments relationship with State
and local conduct Of education.
Going into the larger field, the
committee will cover some OF the
ground reviewed by a President
Hoover-appointed committee in 1929
81. This committee recommended
centralization of the Governments
educational activities in department
of education, headed by cabinet

only those relating to landings.
American Airlines officials said
they would just as soon use Boil

SUDAN STRAIN
OUTPUT

Sudan grass has occupied an
important place on the farms Of
California for many years. used
both for pasture and hay. An in
crease in yield, however, without
extra cost represents a distinct con-
tribution to agriculture.
Sudan %. a new. more vigorous,
higher yielding and more uniform
strain is being released for the
first time this year by the Divi-
sion of Agronomy, college of agri-
culture. The superiority of Sudan
% has been well established at Da-
Wis, giving an increase in yield of Is
to 20 per cent.
Some seed of Sudan % is avail
able. The small lot of seed on hand
last spring has been increased under
the Calapproved Seed plan by Paul
Stephens of Esparto. Calapproved
seed is grown under strict rules set
up by the university, the state de-
partment of agriculture and the
farm bureau, which insure the
buyer of high quality seed, free
from noxious weeds.
The Sudan now grown in this
country can all be traced back to
importations made about 1909. 1t
is a cross-fertilized crop, therefore
the original stocks were made up
of numerous types of plants. L. G.
Goar, formerly associate in agron-
omy at Davis, and now superin-
tendent of the Imperial Valley eX-
pertinent station, conceived the idea
of selecting some of the superior
types and using them as a basis
for an improved variety.
A large number of seed were
space planted. SO that the charac-
teristics of the individual plants
could be observed as they grew
There was remarkable range in
types, some being considerably tall
er than the average. Occasional
plants were more leafy. Extremely
tall and coarse plants pere avoided,
but a number of vigorous, leafy
plants of good forage type were
selected and the heads bagged
to prevent crossing with inferior
strains.
Continued selection over a period
Of years a high degree of uniformi-
ty was established. BY saving and
selling the best types each year,
Sudan % was finally established.
With the seed supply now available
Sudan % should completely replace
common Sudan within two or three
years.
