Significance. Though the cotton contract calls for a crop reduction of 30% to 45% below normal, it does not represent as stiff a cut as has been demanded by Southern Senators who want to boost the price of cotton. This fact, in conjunction with the smaller reduction in corn planting and no reduction at all in hog raising, indicates AAA's present belief that farm prices are not likely to flop, that those who want still higher prices are less to be feared than the loss of markets, the howls of consumers...
Ordinary medical minds cannot contain all the minutiae concerning the blood vessels and the circulation of blood which have been discovered during the past ten years. Therefore, last summer, 16 doctors who had persistently and thoroughly studied the behavior of the arteries, veins and smaller vessels formed a special medical club.

Sales were $6,486,000; lease-income was $1,041,000, not counting the partly-owned Peach Pitter; total income...
...Washington in 1922 the five powers agreed to limit the capital ships of their fleets. In London in 1930 three of these powers grudgingly agreed to limit their cruisers and smaller vessels (TIME, April 28, 1930, et ante). This week's London Conference is necessitated by the fact that the 1922 and 1930 agreements are about to expire. Few of those attending it have any hope of winning even a grudging agreement.
