...Government organs boasted that the Soviet harvest is already 96% complete, several weeks ahead of its completion last year, and so bountiful that for the first time since the "Famine Years" (1931-33) correspondents predicted big Soviet grain exports...
...everyone knows, the U. S. is no longer a major exporter and has not been for years. Crops for this and the two previous years have averaged nearly 100,000,000 bu. below domestic consumption of about 650,000,000 bu. annually. This year, moreover, the 595.000,000 bu. harvested is light in weight, requiring the use of more bushels per barrel of flour. The surpluses piled up prior to 1933 are nearly exhausted, and before the next harvest U. S. millers must import perhaps 50,000,000 bu. of high-grade Canadian grain over a 42¢-per-bu. tariff...

But the most sudden and surprising upset in the world's wheat trade occurred in Argentina, where drought and locusts cut the prospective harvest nearly 50%.

Daniel Jenkins proceeded to rid Charleston of its roaming, thieving "Wild Children." In two buildings in the city, in farms and schools outside it, he has cared for as many as 536 orphans at a time, today has some 300 in his charge. Of the thousands of Negroes turned out of the Jenkins Orphanage at 14, he claims that less...
