...policy of supporting farm prices at 90% of parity was inaugurated in 1942 to encourage maximum production of food to fill the wartime demand. In the present situation, the logical aim is exactly the opposite-to encourage less, not more production. The greatest drag on the farm economy in 1955 was created by 90% of parity, which encouraged too much production after war demand ended. The result was a $7 billion glut of farm products hanging over the market. When it was encouraging the building of these burdensome surpluses, the 90% parity plan did not keep prices...
...soon developed that Japanese B is transmitted to humans by the bite of a mosquito, Culex tritaeniorhynchus. Only the females are venomous bloodsuckers; the gentle males stick to flower nectar. All well and good, but mosquitoes disappear in winter. Where did they fill up with encephalitis virus in the early summer to pump it into humans? The answer was an animal, no doubt, with seasonal habits-one easily infected with the virus but not made seriously ill or killed by it. That pointed to young animals, which would promptly develop antibodies. The only creatures that fitted these specifications were birds...

It is the patient grinding of an educational tool. The material covered, too, must be such that it will fill a school's requirements in a determined amount of time. The process of preparing a text becomes a long one, often requiring the work of several years by one or more trained authors...
Munro will replace Hadik with Tony Oberschall, but has not decided who will start in the other two positions. Bill Linglebach or center forward Shad Tubman will play outside right, while either Eric Stapper, Henrik Blohm, Henry Valiant, or "anyone else who can walk" will fill the right fullback spot. Lingle-bach or Jim Shue will play inside right, and Eliot Finkelstein will continue to replace the injured Lindsay Fischer as goalie...
