U.S. Expert on burnt and mutilated currency. Washington, D.C., Oct. 8. For years it has been the duty of Miss Bertha M. Sherfy to pass on the genuineness of the burnt and mutilated currency which is sent to the U.S. Treasury for Redemption. Miss Sherfy says she finds the most difficult currency to identify is that which has been buried underground, expose to water, dampness, etc. Charred money is too easy to identify but currency burned to a gray ash can never be distinguished. An average of three million dollars of this type of money is forwarded to the Treasury for redemption every [...]

Agriculture. Guayule cultivation. Newly-seeded guayule nursery beds. Guayule seeds are very fine and delicate and cannot be planted as other seeds. A specially constructed machine drops the seeds on a very carefully prepared seedbed and then covers the seed with a band of white sand to prevent the wind from blowing them away. The seedbeds are kept damp by frequent application of the overhead sprinking system until the little plants are up and rooted. Three large nurseries at the new Salinas Valley, California, project established last spring, contain 890 of such beds and produced 310 million plants now being transplanted to about 30,000 acres of field plantations

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields.Two American boys give their giant model plane a running start at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas where members of the Gas Model Club do their weekly flying. The plane, which weighs eleven pounds, has a thirteen feet (3.9 meters) wing spread, and a wing area of twenty-four square feet (2.2 square meters) The plane will not take off by itself, but with a running start flies very successfully.When the U.S. government in 1941 called on model plane builders to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train military and civilian personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft, it was estimated that there were nearly three million American youths actively interested in aero-modeling. These young model builders put their experience to practical use by turning out models of fighters, scouts, fighter bombers, bombers, torpedo carriers, and commercial planes of the United Nations and of the enemy

Warns U.S. of crop shortage, Washington, D.C. Aug. 12. The country will be faced with the worst crop shortage in years during 1936, according to Joseph A. Becker, chairman of the crop reporting board of the Department of Agriculture. Shortage of corn will be the worst since 1881 and potatoes will also be scarce. Becker's potato chart shows a decrease of the million bushels planted in 1936 compared to the production in 1925, which was also a lean year. This means you eaters who number spuds among your favorite dishes, will have to be content with 2.7 bushels per person this year

Denver, Colorado. This workman has gone "all out" to speed up the Navy's unique shipbuilding program here in this mile-high city--the world's largest city not on a navigable waterway. Even though he has never seen an ocean or a ship larger than the pleasure launch on Denver's city park lake, the steel worker behind this acetylene torch is no less a shipbuilder! He is one of the workers in the eight Denver fabricating firms turning out hull parts in a 56 million dollar which means more escort vessels for Uncle Sam's Navy--vessels made in Denver and assembled at Mare Island Navy Yard 1,300 miles away
