Milk Factory Style Dairies Grow in Los Angeles
A Giannini Foundation survey by Martin H. Blank and colleagues tracks the Los Angeles milk industry as 1907 dairies in six Southern California counties supply 78,988 cows. The report notes dairies as tight, machine like operations, with 52 distributors serving direct and retail outlets, rising costs, and questions whether future milk may be produced mostly outside the metro area.

Smaller Silver Coins Suggested by Senator Oddie
Senator Oddie proposes a set of lighter smaller silver coins to replace heavy silver dollars. A new silver dollar slightly larger than the current half dollar, a half dollar between the current half and quarter sizes, and the quarter kept the same, would be practical and reduce replacement costs. He asks the Commerce Department to convene a silver conference in December in Washington.
