G. P. TO PUT RICE ON MARKET AT NO SET PRICE Conference at Bay Fails to Devise Plan to Stabilize Sales Figure; Situation May Clear (The Bee's Service.) CAN FRANCISCO, October urgent has become the necessity for moving the 1920 rice crop, in California, valued at between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 that it will be offered to the millers without a price being set on future deliveries. This was announced here to-day following a meeting of representatives of the growers and millers to agree on a price basis. "It is desirable that movement of the crop be undertaken at as early a date as possible," L.
Dow, a member of the Rice Growers' delegation said, "and to the Pacific Rice Growers' Association will offer at its offices in Sacramento a large quantity of Daddy rice to the millers next Monday. "While both sides were desirous of devising some feasible plan whereby the market could be stabilized, no common ground could be reached," Dow said. He said the situation was influenced by the rice situation in the Southern States. Situation May Clarify, While serious, the rice situation in California may clarify in thirty days, he said. The millers were unduly alarmed, he said, while some of the smaller growers would have to be financed to some extent, export markets expanded.
"We may have to face a loss here and there on account of the unstable market," he said, "but we are optimistic of the ultimate outcome." NEW STATE FAIR BUILDINGS TO COST $4,000,000 WANTED of the State Fair. Futurity Stakes Revived. Plans for the expansion of State Fair, which will include the purchase of an additional 100 acres of ground and the erection of new buildings costing nearly $4,000,000 adopted to-day at a meeting of the Directors of the State Agricultural Society, At the present time, there are eighty-nine acres in grounds and with the addition of the new ground, there will be nearly 200 acres included. If necessary, condemnation proceedings will resorted to to secure the land desired. The plan for the purchase of the new ground was adopted after a discussion of the crowded condition of the Fair this year.
It was believed that if new buildings were erected on the presant land owned by the Agricultural Society, the grounds would be too crowded. The help of the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club and other boost bodies will be asked to secure the additional land, Fair Nets $30,000. A report showed that the 1920 Fair, after all expenses were paid, had netted a surplus of $30,000. A part of this revenue was derived from the. sale of alfalfa raised on the grounds.
Considerable gratification was expressed by the members of the society in view of the fact that a recent Fair held in Los Angeles was unsuccessful. A. S.

The opinion was expressed that, inasmuch as the grandstand would have a larger seating capacity, more people naturally would attend the races, something better must be provided, and that only can be done by offering larger purses.
