California Earthquakes Lengthen Building Lots
A man affected by the California earthquake measured his building lot eastward and found it 14 percent longer than before. A principal street in Lost Angeles widened its width by six to eight inches, with 11 inch cracks opening on side streets. Geological changes occurred in a sandy spit about a mile and a half long and 400 to 900 feet wide, widened by four feet in places. Four additional feet of pipe were needed to repair the water system in some streets. Despite stretching, little damage to houses occurred.

Money making line for a dairy herd determined by costs
Dr B Powell of Purina Mills explains that profit hinges on each cow's production exceeding the annual cost of keeping her. Costs include pasture, hay, ensilage, grain, and labor with calf and manure value, veterinary bills, and herd expenses. Cows above the line earn profit. those below should be culled or fed more efficiently. Purina provides tools and dealers offer analyses to identify each herd's money making line.
