Birth of the farm system transforms minor baseball in Fort Smith
A July 3 1922 Fort Smith meeting at the Goldman Hotel created the major league controlled farm system. Branch Rickey and the St Louis Cardinals built a network from Class D upward, with early clubs like Houston, later spreading to Houston in the Texas League while major leagues financed and dominated the minors. Wanderling recalls the Fort Smith talk and argues the farm system saved the minors, though it also enabled major league pullbacks on star players and ongoing disputes over control and profits.

Nation's Dairy Herds Continue To Decline
The Agriculture Department reports indicate the number of milk cows on U S farms is declining but at a slower rate. The herd began the year at 18 073 000 head and has fallen about 5 700 000 head since 1945, yet milk production is expected to reach a record near 126 billion pounds, aided by higher efficiency and selective culling of less productive animals.
