The routes were' selected to accommodate the large ma jority of the pupils and at the same time to be within reasonable distances the others. Except as otherwise specified in the schedules, all high school pupils are asked to assemble at the same places and at the same time as last year. Any high school pupil whose name has been omitted should report at the stopping place nearest his or her home at the time listed. Respectfully submitted WM. M.

TOTAL OF 275 CARS EXPECTED AS SEASON IS CLOSING With the bulk of the grape shipment from Yolo county over within the next two days, W. K.

Johnson, inspector in charge for this district, reports a successful season, both in the point of good crops, fair prices, and no shortage of fruit cars for ranchers of this district. Johnson said this morning that at the present time, more than 200 cars of grapes had gone out of Yolo county, on their way east to be sold in the markets there. JThe bulk of the crop, he states, have beenAiicante Bou chets and Zinfandels, with more of the Alicante variety being shipped han the latter variety. By this time' next week, the bulk of" grape shipments will have been completed, Johnson says, with a few ranchers shipping second crop grapes, which are expected to prove a profitable crop for Yolo county ranchers this year. Expects 275 Cars In all, Johnson expects a total of 275 cars of grapes to be shipped out of Yolo county this year, which he holds is a good shipment compared with other counties in the state, and due to the fact that Yclo county has not such a large acreage of grapes as it has on some other crops.

Alicantes Same The prices for grapes are not quite as good as last year the inspector says, but on a level, will net the grape grower some profit. The Zinfandel crop is but 75 percent of normal this year, while the Alicante crop is about the same as last year. The Zinfandel prices have been fair, while the Alicante prices have slumped somewhat. There has been no shortage of cars this year, according to Johnson, the new car plan worked out by the Cali fornia department of agriculture un der the' direction of G. 1L Hecke hav iag taken care cf the shipments to the extent that all grapes were on their way as soon as placet! in fruit cars, and with plenty of cars for all grow ers.
