...live on and about 5% return on his investment. But I won't make that this year. And in another two years I may be out of business." In California's Tulare County, second richest farming county in the U.S., net income fell on oranges, nectarines and alfalfa. "There is too much spread between what the farmer is paid and what you pay in the store," said County Agent Sheldon N. Jackson. "He gets 2?-a pound for nectarines. You pay 15?. That's quite a difference...
...students, an even more luminous faculty. U.C.L.A. will also have more graduates, more dormitories, and solider courses to stave off the encircling "commuter" state colleges. ¶ By 1970: Davis (4,950) will hit 10,000, A changing cow college (cheer: "Bossie. cow cow, honey bee bee, oleomargarine, oleo butterine, alfalfa-hey!"), Davis will soon be a general university on a 3,000-acre farm-campus. Santa Barbara (3,504) will hit 10.500. Riverside (1,633) will hit 7,250. Converted from a citrus experimental station, it aimed to be a Western Oberlin, but will soon be bigger...
...town went on (it now bills itself as the alfalfa-growing center of the West), but John Cozad never was the same. He toyed furtively again with faro, failed as a resort owner in Atlantic City, N.J. When he died in New York in 1906, he had reached a century he did not understand. But he earned his monument.

Wearing only a pair of white toreador pants and a pair of suede chukka boots, Dan Lamore, 31, was gaudy enough. But his bow was the real eye stopper: a 54-in. monster made of fiber glass and maple, which required a force of 250 Ibs. to be shot at full power...
Spreading a blanket in the alfalfa, Lamore lay on his back, braced his boots in stirrups on the shaft, pulled back the string with both hands and sent a 25-in. fir-and-pine arrow whiffling into the sun. When bug-eyed officials at the 75th annual tournament of the National Archery Association finally found Lamore's arrow 937.13 yds. away, they discovered that he had broken the old N.A.A. record for distance flight by nearly 50 yds. But Lamore, one of 1,000,000 toxophilites in the booming sport of archery, was just warming up. Half an hour...
