...mortal blow to the hopes of anti-Rooseveltians within the Democratic Party had been dealt by the primary triumphs of New Dealing Senators Claude Pepper and Lister Hill (TIME, May 15). More than ever the President looked like his Party's one & only hope in 1944. A Gallup poll indicated that 50% of those who plan to vote for him will vote for a Republican if Roosevelt does...
...Alabama, drawling Lister Hill, who coon-shouted the nomination of Franklin Roosevelt for Term III at Chicago, fought for his U.S. Senate seat against well-to-do, sad-faced James Simpson, 54, banker, corporation lawyer, respected state legislator.

The object is to leave on the surface a stubble "beard," both to check erosion and provide decaying organic matter as fertilizer. In the Iowa test these methods: > Produced bigger soybean crops than plowing, slightly smaller corn crops.† > Saved one-third to half of the man and machine power required by plowing. > Reduced soil erosion from...
...This team from Medford is not a very Manley bunch, in fact they're Kleymen. They won't cause much Trumbull with Jawn at the Rutter. Anyhow, they are on our Lister beat. The game will be a Zullo and we'll have a Hooper of a time, so Troy and be there," Hu Flung urged his friend. Harvard 13 Tufts...
