Farther north, on the Mojave Desert, Rancher Stoddard Jess has built one of the desert's tidiest agricultural arrangements. His chief crop is turkeys, 55,000 birds or more each year, and better than 100,000 poults. In a complex of freshwater ponds, he raises a million rainbow trout from fingerlings. The trout fatten on entrails from the dressed turkeys and on worms grown as a crop on the ranch. Water from the ponds irrigates fields of corn, and the turkeys are turned loose to fatten on the corn...
Another good bet is Shelley Winters, the tidiest little actress to come Hollywood's way in years. In A Double Life, Larceny and The Great Gatsby she played the kind of chippie-off-the-block whom men inevitably fall for and (in the movies) just as inevitably murder.

This week a four-man commission prepared to leave for the U.S. to buy $120,000.000 worth of farm and industrial machinery. With the hemisphere's tidiest budget surplus, Venezuela would pay cash...

In less than a minute, one of the tidiest church mortgages in the country (from a banker's viewpoint) was a crisp char of expensive ashes. The First Congregational Church of Los Angeles was free of debt, and the banks and other mortgagors owned $750,000 less of the more than $500,000,000 they now hold in U.S. church mortgages...
Featured by the return of Jim Curwen to form, the Varsity swimmers overwhelmed a weak but plucky Boston Y. M. C. A. team last night by a score of 52 to 23. Curwen turned in a 24.4 50 and a 53.9 100 to register the tidiest times of the evening...
