More Production From Land in Pontotoc Area
Idle land in Pontotoc and nearby counties is vast, with thousands idle in Pontotoc alone. A Seminole county campaign aims to convert idle land to pasture grass, clear scrub timber, and plant grasses. If idle land is fully used, the county could support 25,000 more cattle and calves, boosting annual market income by over two million dollars. Farmers are using poisons on weeds, clearing land with bulldozers, and planting tame grasses alongside native blue stems, while experiments with lime, phosphate, and potash continue to improve pastures.

Hot GOP Battle In Pennsylvania
Senator Duff of Pennsylvania issued a pointed challenge to GOP rivals led by G Mason Owlett and former Senator Joseph Grundy to engage in a “knock-down and drag-out fight” over control of Pennsylvania's 70-man delegation to the 1952 presidential nominating convention. Duff backs Dwight D. Eisenhower as nominee while Owlett questions Duff's grip on the delegation chairmanship, a role typically held by the governor. The report notes broader intra party splits, including McCarthy versus Smith and Hendrickson over Maryland election probe, and Democratic strains over Truman judge nominees and Boyle influence case.
