Unable to find foreign purchasers for its wheat, the Federal Farm Board last week reverted to an antique form of barter to help reduce its surplus. Into the Brazilian Embassy on 18th Street marched George Milnor, who as general manager of Grain Stabilization Corp. is official custodian for some 200,000,000 bu. of U. S. wheat. There he was greeted by suave, dark Ambassador Rinaldo de Lima e Silva. After exchanging amenities, they sat down together at a table, squiggled their names to a document. When they got up and shook hands, the U. S. had contracted to trade...
Brazil tried and failed to valorize its coffee production long before the U. S. attempted the same thing with wheat and cotton.

At about the same time in Washington, James Eli Watson of Indiana. Republican floorleader of the Senate, was beseeching the Federal Farm Board to reduce the U. S. wheat surplus, relieve the market, up prices by drastic action upon the Board's 200,000,000 bu. of wheat. Senator Watson as spokesman for the Senators from wheat-growing States did not seriously propose that the Board destroy its vast holdings by fire, much as such a spectacle...
...from Bolama, Portuguese Guinea, West Africa, whither the boat bestirred itself a month ago. was made in three jumps: a short one to the Cape Verde Islands where it remained nearly a week; a long and creditable one (1,400 mi.) to Fernando Noronha Island, 200 mi. off the Brazilian mainland: and an easy hop to Natal, strategic point for many a transatlantic flight. Besides Capt. Friedrich Christiansen the DO-X carried twelve persons, including the Portuguese Admiral Gago Coutinho...
