...Secretary of Agriculture Wallace it was a grim jest. If ten tons of dust to the square mile goes scooting across the country in a March gale, what may not happen in July? Mr. Wallace decided that the danger of drought was greater than the danger of surplus. He issued an order: Farmers who had pledged themselves to reduce their 1935 Spring wheat planting 10% below normal were relieved of their pledge. More important, he ordered that some $30,000,000 which AAA had contracted to pay Spring wheat growers for reducing their acreage should still be paid, whether...
...this competition by making their product twice as good as the cheapest house. They offer at least three things which Hodgson and Sears, Roebuck do not: termite-proof steel frames, airconditioning, fireproof materials. The prefabricated house is also earthquake-proof, can be blown over only by a 135-mi. gale...
Grandsons purports to be the story, as told to Adamic himself, of three third-generation U. S.-Slovenes from Carniola.

...just that possibility of chaos which Herr Hitler had in mind and that motivated the present action in the last analysis. It was a smoke-screen whose effect was primarily for home consumption and, whichever way dispersed on the resulting gale was calculated to enhance the Fuehrer's prestige at home. That it has enveloped him in a mantle of masterful heroism rather than a martyr's shroud for the German people, is simply so much grist to his mill. His position, which the events of the past year, such as the murderous party purge at Munich and elsewhere, indicated...
Whipped by a 40 m. p. h. gale, an Ottawa blizzard lashed the state carriage of Canada's unpopular Governor General last week, as His Excellency Vere Brabazon Ponsonby, 9th Earl of Bessborough, rode out to open Parliament for the last time in his five year vice-Regal term. The next Governor General may just possibly be His Majesty's youngest son the Duke of Kent. Last week Lord Bessborough further miffed Canadians by insisting that his youngest son, aged 3, should see papa open Canada's Senate and House of Commons. As usual the vice-Regal...
