...cane for general planting on the more fertile lands, Hrvd No. 12.029 is, without doubt one of the very best varsities ever produced, regarding both field tonnage and percentage of sucrose in the juice. The average yield of cane per caballeria is at least 15 percent greater than that of Cristalina, growing under similar agronomic conditions, and, as it is a more persistent grower, the fields do not need replanting so frequently. The cane stalks are solid and of greater weight than Cristalina. A sample of 22 carloads of this cane averaged 239 arrobas per car heavier than an equal...

This will, no doubt, comfort nervous passengers who might not like the sky at night, and please scenic lovers who might like the view by day. Also, greater safety will be achieved by the elimination of night flying. The treacherous Alleghany mountains will be crossed by train, in both directions...
...first novel, Avarice House, not a single character has charm or kindness-nothing but selfishness, fear, jealousy. Adrienne is said to be beautiful, but her submissiveness, her exasperating inhibitions, make her so unattractive that it is difficult to be as sorry for her as one no doubt should...
