Those members of the band of 85 who were chosen to make the trip to Soldiers Field left Davidson, North Carolina, Thursday morning, stopping over at Baltimore, Maryland, and New York for concerts. The band specializes in such novelty numbers as cotton-picking songs and apple-shaped formations...
Drops of water trickling down a wooded hillside swell to a runnel, a rivulet, a brook, a creek, join the great feeder streams and then the long, smooth, thousand-mile slide of the Big River, widening to the Gulf. Down river cotton is king. Up north there is timber. "We built a hundred cities and a thousand towns but at what a cost."

And the uncontrolled Mississippi...

Hastily arranged just before Congress adjourned, the cotton-loan program was financed by Jesse Jones's RFC through the Commodity Credit Corp...
Last week it soon became apparent that a second jury sail would be broken out: that corn loans would be granted, though not at 60? per bu. Secretary Wallace discreetly observed that if figured in the same relation to so-called "parity prices" as cotton, the corn loans would be about 46? per bu. Only problem was to find the money-a problem complicated by President Roosevelt's announced determination to balance the budget (see p. 17). After a huddle with the President and Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, Mr. Wallace declared with engaging vagueness: "Money undoubtedly...
