...last the Department of Agriculture has produced a book which should alert the nation's farmers to the malignant and dangerous growth of plant diseases. A comprehensive study with a foreword by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, Plant Diseases discusses pertinent maladies ranging from "Root Rots, Wilts and Blights of Peas," to "The Smuts of Wheat, Oats, and Barley." The report has not been published merely as a scientific discussion of plant problems, or to indicate how ruinous these diseases could be for the farmers. As Secretary Benson points out, "To me the most startling aspect of plant disease...

The Government does not ordinarily dismiss high officers for no apparent reason, and, had Truman followed such a course, no espionage ring worthy of the name could have failed to realize what...
President and the Senator talked about tin mining. Fresh reports disclosed that loyal forces were now fighting back strongly in Cochabamba. Capehart chewed on his cigar. Another telegram told how a boy on a bicycle had ridden, like a young Paul Revere, to the nearby town of Ucurena to alert the area's Indian farmers and tin miners to mobilize against the rebels. The President, the Senator and their aides calmly moved on to the U.S. embassy for a reception honoring Capehart. There, just after 1 p.m., messengers brought the victory report: "Cochabamba is ours...
