Air Defense Unit Praised for Firepower and Fire Control
Reports describe the 62nd Coast Artillery guarding Metropolitan New York from bombing with three tons of flying steel per minute from mechanically controlled guns. Observers say the unit matches or exceeds foreign counterparts in material training and tactics, aided by a $30,000 fire control “mechanical brain” that computes target positions and auto aims the guns. Night detectors and searchlights augment the unit’s deadly effectiveness.

Crop Cut To Be Opposed By Minnesota Wheat Farmers
Minnesota farmers in Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Montana oppose any legislation to restrict hard red spring wheat production. They argue no surplus exists and 1937's crop of about 99.6 million bushels meets milling needs, citing 1934–36 Canadian imports and drought effects to warn against type misperceptions in Congress.

Wheat types and supply concerns affect flour use and imports
The discussion says soft wheats are favored for pastries and crackers while durum yields pasta. Hard wheats go to bread flour with some buyers demanding mostly hard red spring and some hard red winter. A wheat surplus is nuanced as a surplus of one type may exist while another type is short, prompting imports.
