Last week Secretary Wallace put his 1937 model on display for farmers' inspection. Costing the same $500,000,000, it was basically identical with the apparatus whipped together last spring after the Supreme Court had ruled the AAAct off the road. As a reward for diverting their acres from "soil-depleting" crops (cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco) to "soil-building" crops (alfalfa, soybeans, grasses), farmers will receive Federal bounties averaging slightly less than $10 per acre. Thus, by the back door of soil conservation, the New Deal will continue to achieve some production control of cash crops, which the Supreme...
...Government next year, as compared with a minimum $10 this year. Secretary Wallace said his "new carburetor" was an explanation of schedules by which each farmer could figure out his bounty in advance. But knowing newshawks pounced on a discreetly buried item in the announcement as the 1937 model's new power source...

Best shot: Sonorous Painter Rembrandt rolling off a long, sensuous soliloquy defining Woman, while the mouths of stolid Dutchmen flap open and servant girls go glassy-eyed with dreams...
...wrote, one has a "rather simple and thoroughly consistent picture of a universe in which . . . the large-scale distribution of nebulae is uniform throughout the sample available for inspection." On the other hand, to assume that the shifts really indicate receding velocity forces one to adopt a very curious model of the universe. "The model is closed and very small-a large fraction can be observed with existing telescopes-and is packed with matter to the very threshold of perception-. The rate of expansion has been slowing down so that the past time scale is remarkably limited. In short...
...order and quiet. S--informs me these are the studios of the Harvard Forest. Laughing lightly at my quizzical look, he adds that the Harvard Forest is no playground for freshmen, but woods in Petersham, Mass. For years the late Professor Fisher has directed the Forest, which makes models to illustrate the forest history of central New England and present-day methods of forestry. Now more models are being made by Mr. Cline for the suggested Fisher Museum of Forestry. All very intricate, but not as much as the work of the men in the studios. Some forming trees...
