...trooped corn & wheat farmers. Their object was to find out just what AAA was going to make them do to share in the $400,000,000 to $500,000,000 annual bounty under the new Soil Conservation Act. To Memphis went Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, to Chicago Assistant Secretary Milburn Lincoln Wilson, to explain things: The Government meant to take 30,000,000 out of 300,000,000 acres normally devoted to soil-depleting crops (cotton, corn, wheat) and put them into soil-conserving crops (alfalfa, soya beans). Farmers would probably be paid 75? to $1 an acre for planting...

After last week's game young Winston Guest did not even wait for dinner before rushing to town with his bride, Helena McCann Guest, to tell the New York Young Republican Club...
Plan-Maker. The President's "pet children" are also problem children, and Milburn L. Wilson, the man whose exhibit touched off the President's enthusiasm, is their tutor. Tutor Wilson was an Iowa farm boy, who got a college education and went back to farming. Later he became head of the division of Farm Management for the Department of Agriculture.

He disowns authorship of the Domestic Allotment...
