...pitched voice: "Keep the weeds down." "Put on more manure." "Thin out in case of drought." Khrushchev, another peasant's son from the Ukraine, understands and appreciates that kind of talk. Lysenko tells virgin land pioneers not to plow their land in the fall but to plant their grain amidst the snow-catching stubble, advises Volga farmers to increase their crop by cutting their seed potatoes into three or four chips before sowing. However wildly willful his theories, he gets what the pragmatic Khrushchev considers good results...
Against the Grain. The 75 colleges that were after Oscar called so often that his father had the phone disconnected three times. Oscar finally chose the University of Cincinnati, partly because it was fairly close to home, mainly because it played a big-time schedule that hit Madison Square Garden, where he could test his game against the very best.

Last week Agriculture Minister Alvin Hamilton rose in Parliament to announce that the Red traders had expanded the order beyond his most optimistic hopes: just before taking off for Hong Kong, they signed a $60 million cash deal for 28 million bushels of wheat...
Hamilton billed the deal as the biggest sale since World War II. It pushes Communist China from nothing to third among Canada's grain customers (behind Britain and Japan), and will probably keep West Coast handlers busy until fall clearing the shipment, which will take upward of 100 ships to move...
