...made a strong plea for Point Four aid to Asia: "Less than one-third the expenditures for the cost of World War II would have created the developments necessary to feed the whole world, so we would not have had 'stomach Communism' . . . Unless we fight that battle, and win it, we cannot win the cold war or a hot one, either...
...back to classes until she could do her hair as she pleased. Last week Judge Yates Hamm fined the Bartons $10 apiece for failing to send a minor to school. Snapped Ma Barton: "We're appointing you the legal guardian of our five youngest children to raise, to feed, to educate, to clothe and to care for according to your standards." Then the Bartons stalked off, leaving five wailing youngsters in court. The startled judge gave them 50? apiece as a soother, then turned them over to the county juvenile home. ¶ In the wooded hills near Shreveport...
Jewell expanded, broadening his markets by eviscerating his birds and shipping them fully dressed, packed in ice. As volume grew, Jewell enlisted the aid of banks and feed companies to set up a system which enabled North Georgia's farmers, who were too poor to finance a business of their own, to go into business with him.

Jewell ships out chicks to nearly 1,000 farmers in eleven counties, provides them with feed, on credit. After the birds are fattened, Jewell takes them back, paying the farmers on the basis of weight gained.

If more feed is used, the farmer is docked; if less, he gets a premium...
...Below Zero. Jewell's trucks keep up a constant exchange of baby chicks for fattened broilers. After a final 36 hours of heavy feeding, the broilers are hung on a moving belt in Jewell's processing plant and killed, plucked, cleaned and rolled into a tunnel, where they are frozen stiff for shipping by a blast of 30-below-zero wind at 40 m.p.h. Jewell wastes little of the chicken. From the insides he makes soap oils and "tankage," which goes back into feed. From feathers he makes fertilizer...
