...married trim, freckled Carolyne Schaulk, a hired girl on a nearby farm, and started farming on his own. The Walls rented 80 acres north of Panora (pop. 1,169). With their $300 savings they bought a pair of flap-eared mules, a cookstove, a cream separator and a linoleum square. With $300 more borrowed from the Farmers State Bank they bought two brood sows for $20, and an assortment of antique farm equipment (including a harrow picked...

...superstructure is bent and twisted. Stack and masts are gone. Abovedeck quarters are oil-blackened ruins. Ranges in the crew's galley are thick with rust.

Meows fly fast but a lot of exertion goes to trying to smoke in rooms. It's forbidden, but they manage. But the most...
Dehydrated castor oil is the best available substitute for tung oil, formerly imported from China for use in inks, paint, varnish, linoleum, lubricants, etc. But" U.S. tung production is growing too. Orchards of tung-nut trees now cover 250,000 acres, scattered from South Carolina to Texas (most are in Mississippi). They have produced 5,000,000 Ib. of oil a year, may double that figure in 1942. But the trees do not produce until after their fourth year, so no quick increase is possible. At least 150,000,000 lb. yearly are needed...
