Lint Land. Before the Crop Board could be locked up for its secret ciphering last week, before field estimators and picked farmers could furnish the figures with which it arrived at its estimate, some 30,000,000 acres of farm land had to be plowed, harrowed and seeded in that area of the continental U. S. where the growing season from frost to frost is at least seven months. Planting started, as it does each season, in Southern Texas in late winter. From there it rolled north with the sun on an ever widening front until the last seed...

...contests-to announce which the Committee did not even bother, when the loudspeakers broke down, to furnish an amateur badge-wearer with a second-hand megaphone-were in athletic merit probably equal, if not superior to those which a cosmopolitan crowd of 100.000 will witness in Berlin's Olympic Stadium next month.

In the five remaining events, the entrants at the Randalls Island meet were, by & large, as competent as the entrants in the same events will...
Profitless Oil. Unlike Britain, the U. S. has only a few communities cooperatively self-contained, notably Maynard, Mass., where co-ops can furnish nearly all consumer needs. There are two small co-op mail-order houses. Co-operation has been adapted to rural telephones, power plants, personal loans (credit unions), groceries, trucking, insurance, undertaking.
