...thought their men at the front might like. L'Amour is important to morale, and the State made it possible last week for tens of thousands of women to visit their husbands at Christmas. Mothers with evacuated children in the countryside were offered by the French State Railways free trips during the holidays to visit their moppets...
...from the Near East of General Maxime Weygand, to report on his preparations for an Allied Army there, added interest to the commentary. With Finland getting hers from Russia, and with Rumania apparently earmarked next, it was newsworthy bluff, if not noteworthy fact, when Generalissimo Gamelin said he feels free now for a war of maneuver-somewhere.

In 1939 Iowa planted 77% of her total corn acreage to hybrid corn, Indiana planted 60%, Illinois and Ohio 57% each...
