...word of this would Secretary of Agriculture Wallace publicly admit. Nevertheless decreased consumption sharpened to a painful point the first estimate of the U. S. cotton crop for 1935 given out the following day by Secretary Wallace's department. Forecast was a production of 11,800,000 bales. That estimate was well under the big crops of the late 1920's, but it was 2,100,000 bales larger than last year. With world consumption of U. S. cotton down to 12,250,000 bales, the chance of getting rid of any worthwhile portion...
...whole country reports forecast a light infantile paralysis year. Health officials take special interest in the North Carolina outbreak because there, a statistically useful number of children have been vaccinated against the disease. Manhattan's Dr. Maurice Brodie has sent 600 doses of Park-Brodie vaccine (TIME. Nov. 26 et ante) to the infected area. Of these doses, 400 were concentrated in Greensboro, N. C. (pop.: 53,569). The U. S. Public Health Service, which has sponsored Park-Brodie vaccine, knows of no vaccinated child who has developed infantile paralysis...

...have been found to precede them. These are slight tiltings of the ground, as detected in Japan by Inouye and Sugiyama; changes in the force of gravity, as reported from Germany by Tomaschek and Schaffernicht; and disturbances of electromagnetic radiation, as observed by Italy's Piatti. No successful forecast has resulted from any of these observations. The other approach is to take cognizance of possible contributing causes of quakes, such as the tidal pulls on Earth of heavenly bodies. Herbert Janvrin Browne, a heterodox Washington long-range weather forecaster, thinks the high frequency of quakes this year...
