...piled up to the 10,000,000 bales, nor the world supply to the 51,000,000 bales reached last week. Only 56% of the tobacco farmers said Yes, less than the two-thirds necessary to invoke the quota, far less than the 86% who shouted Yes last spring. And rice farmers, whose reserves did not reach the 11,974,000 bushels quota level for this year, made their first vote a hearty...

Smaller of the two is the American Whaling Co.'s 6,400-ton Frango, mother ship and rendering plant for a fleet of six whale chasers.

Many Californians will never forget the thrill they experienced when Jockey Adams rode six winners in a row (five of them long shots) at Bay Meadows one afternoon last spring-a feat that only seven U. S. jockeys have ever accomplished. Others who had seen him break a leg during a race at Del Mar last summer, marveled at his ability to be out in front again after being dismounted for two months. A barrel-chested pee-wee (4 ft. 8 in.) who learned to ride on the Western "bush"' tracks (county fairs), still lives in a trailer...
