...observe that you have done a very interesting and thorough research job in getting together the very interesting sketch that you present this week on Wendell L. Willkie [TIME, July 31]. It is always worthwhile to spotlight men who have done an outstanding job in their field.

...Farmer Rice and his crude trap-nest goes credit for starting the scientific breeding of hens that has made modern egg production possible. The poultry business is today close to a billion-dollar-a-year industry (fourth after cattle, hogs and dairying in U.S. agriculture's gross income).

In December 1934 when commercial banks' deposits amounted to $38,996,340,000, capital stood at $6,151,567,000. At the end of last year when de posits had increased...
