Acreage of crops harvested was record-breaking. The year's increase exceeded any year since 1918, when farmers planted for war. The Mississippi flood of 1927 caused this sharp difference.

The increase was pretty well distributed throughout the country and was divided among cotton, spring wheat, potatoes, and other leading crops. A decline representing a shift...
...massive 343-page report this conclusion is drawn from a multitude of sources by Commercial Counselor Joseph R. Cahill of the British Embassy at Paris.

France wishes her statesmen to attend these solely on the basis that there shall be no scaling down of the reparations owed by Germany to War-devastated and impoverished France...
