Last week, the first Pete Bostwick Handicap Tournament was won by a California team whose players included a horse dealer, a veterinarian, and a horse trainer. Bostwick's self-supporting millennium had not yet arrived: the winning team was largely subsidized by California's rich J. A. Wigmore. But there was encouraging news. At $1 a head, record crowds (average: 3,800 a match) turned out at Bostwick Field at Westbury, Long Island. The gate receipts were enough to pay all expenses, including the $5,000 prize.

Artificial insemination has many advantages. On the average dairy farm a bull is dangerous, expensive to keep, and his capacities are rarely put to full use. It is obviously simpler to call a veterinarian and have him serve the cow with one cubic centimeter of high-grade semen in a gelatine capsule or a special syringe. Membership in a typical breeding association costs only $5 a year, plus $6 a year per cow (which entitles each cow to three services a year if necessary...
