A couple of unexpected bonuses were accorded members of the Southern California-Arizona Beef Cattle Tour recently. One was the oatmeal icebox cookies served by Mrs. Cora Riggs at her Dos Cabezas, Ariz., ranch. The other was hush puppies served by the Dale Bumsteads at Tal-wi-wi in the Pines, Alpine, Ariz.
