- LEADS IN FARMING Distinction of Being Largest Agri- ~ caltaral Town in Southern Cal Washington, Oct. b-="Han Jose (el Cabo, the village of Lower Catitornia,| Mexico, reported 1o have been de- stroyed by a tidal wave, though quite small, had the distinetion of being the largest agricultural town of the 4,000 square miles of the peninsula"” says & bulletin from the Washington, D, €. headquarters of the National Geographie Rociety, “Agricuiture 1s & novelty iy Lower California although it shares (he name of, and rubs elbows with one of our richest agricultural states, Lower California is In striking con trast to ita sister and one-time Nia- mess twin, It is a sort of American Arabla—a sea of sand and rocks un- der & broiling sun. Along Iis entire 2,000 miles of coastline—a length greater than that from Key West to Boston-—there 18 only one strewm en- tering the sea fhat flows on the sur-| tagce from source to mouth the year round, The other streams are mere toreents lving for brief periods arter the infrequent rains or short spring- fed brooks that die quickly in the sands, Fatenordinary Plant Life, “Bocause the desert lowlands of Lower California ave isolated and subjected to long continued droughts, gandwiched between brief, heavy rains, there has been developed in them perhaps the richest and most extraordinary desert plaht life in the world, Dotanists whose observations have ranged from the cold-stunted growth of Arctic tundras to the Juxu- riant folinge of the moist tropics de- clare that they have found nowhere such a grotesque riot of extraor- dinary plant forms as in this Mexican peninsula. “8an Jose del Cabo's name tells quaintly its gcographical location. It is ‘St. Joseph of the End’ and is at almost the exact southern terminus of the long narrow peninsula. By vir- tue of this location it just manages to edge into some of the rains of the mainland’'s summer rainy season. Immediately about it is a fertile little valley -in which the summer rains make possible the raising of sugar- cane and other crops. “The town has no harbor. But coasting steamers regularly anchor off shore and take on or put off freight and passengers in surf boats.” $30,000 SPECIAL RACE Second Annual Running of the La- tonia Special May Decide Champion Thoroughbred of American Turf. Cincinnati, Oct. 5.—The undisputed champion thoroughbred of the Ameri- can turf may be decided Saturday, October 6, with the second annual running of the $50,000 added Latonia Special Handicap, at the Latonia race course, The .race is for horscy of all ages, and it promises to be one of the great- eat, if not the greatest, in the history of the turf. The nominations for the great classic include the best horses in America. Matt J. Winn, general manager of the Latonia Jockey club said the han- dicap closed with 75 nominations and that these include the following: Zev, Whiskaway, Goshawk, Dunlin, Mar- tingale, Dr. Clark, My Own, The Clown, Sally’s Alley, Margaret Win- sor, Prince K. Bo McMillan, Vigil, My Play, Mad Hatter, Knobbie, Little Chief, Audacious, Minto II, Bunting, Enchantment, Flagstaff, Cherry Die, Untidy, Wilderness, Rialto, and In ‘Memoriam. The race, providing 15 or maore start, will be worth more than $70,- 000 to the winner, making it the greatest handicap event in America and only second in money value to the International race scheduled in Bel- mont Park between Papyrus and the . three-year-old named by the Belmont Jockey club, Six thousand dollars will go to the horse finishing sce- ond, $3,000 to the third and $1,000 to the fourth. In addition to first money the winner will receive the $5,000 gold cup donated by the Kentucky Jockey club. The Latonia Special Handicap was first inaugurated by Mr. Winn in the spring of 1922, when it was an event of a mile and a quarter strictly for three-year-olds, with $50,000 added. It was in this race that Morvich was uncrowned as king of the three-year- old division when he was beaten by Harry Payne Whitney's Whiskaway and Carl Voggler's Thibadaux. Mor- vich, who wontthe Kentucky Derby that yvear, was badly beaten, as was Pillory, winner of the famous Pimlico Preakness. Regardless of the monetary value, owners and trainers seemed to dodge 1the event because of the conditions until the Kentucky Jockey ciuh made changes to make it open to horses of all ages in the form of a handicap race over a distance of a mile and three-sixteenths to be run in the fall instead of the spring Pile Sufferers Can Yon Answer These Questions?
