Dewey Will Talk Tonight As Campaign Opens
Governor Thomas E. Dewey launches a 6700 mile speaking tour to the Pacific and back by month’s end with an opening address on postwar jobs. Roosevelt stays quiet, with a Philadelphia broadcast and a Washington dinner planned for September 23. Local political moves include a Mississippi slate of electors opposing the New Deal and Dewey-Bricker ticket, and Albany court rulings allowing Roosevelt and Truman to appear on ballot under ALP and Liberal tickets. A Washington ruling grants gasoline rationing to bona fide campaign managers with limited transport options.

Terracing Gains Boost Among Morgan County Farmers
Morgan county soil experts hail Rayburn and George Neville of Trinity and Decatur as leading terracing advocates. Their fenced terraces transformed erosion prone land into productive farmland with cotton yields climbing from 0.0 to about a bale per acre and soybean hay reaching a ton per acre. The Nevilles compare terraced fields with nearby non terraced lands to show higher yields and rent gains, noting growing farmer interest in soil conservation terraces despite earlier resistance.
