This was a tricky way of saying that the 1959 crop would be 20% below last year...

Here to fore un photographed, this side, always dark and turned away from us, has long been a subject of great scientific curiosity and intense speculation.

He wore a dark blue school shirt and a baseball cap pulled low over his close-cropped grey hair, and he barely came to some of the players' shoulders. But when he spoke, they spun to listen, and for good reason. Bantam-sized (5 ft. 8 in., 160 lbs.)
