Last year Benson went onto a new corn program that abolished all production controls on corn in return for a modest reduction in the support price. Benson hoped that the lower support price would lead to a smaller crop; instead, farmers increased their corn acreage by a whacking 15%, harvested the biggest, most glutting corn crop in U.S. history. And by last week's new estimates showed a slight increase in 1960 corn acreage rather than the decrease that Benson had fervently hoped for.

This could lead to a reduction of interest rates, encourage heavier business spending, especially in construction...
...first few loaves were as heavy as lead, but Maggie soon got the knack. The bread seemed to help Mark's health, and his allergist asked her to make some for other patients. Mrs. Rudkin began making batches in her kitchen with the help of a servant, then set up a small bakery in the farm's abandoned stable, added white bread made from unbleached flour for patients who could not take much roughage in their diet...
