...ending July 31 were 3,400,000 bales, smallest in 60 years; 2) Mr. Wallace is still holding the bag on 11,300,000 bales of cotton, the accumulated surplus; 3) in three weeks cotton-pickers will begin plucking 1939 bolls for a new unwanted, unsalable crop expected to total about 12,000,000 more bales...

Last week to General Motors, Colorado sent a bill for $234,655; to Ford went one for $102,470; to Chrysler, Hudson, Studebaker, Nash and Packard went others totaling $193,995. Grand total: $531,120, billed to the seven motormakers for four years' chain-store license fees ($2.50 to $300.50 a store).
