Cross Breeding to Aid Watermelons and Cauliflower
At the first government breeding lab under the Bankheil-Jones act, Dr. Poole works on cauli flower and watermelons. Researchers aim to blend American cauliflower vigor with early cold resilience from Indian varieties and to produce watermelons sized for small refrigerators, disease resistant and ship-ready. Foreign melons are tested for Wilt resistance, crossbred with domestic types, while corn hybrids and tomato disease resistance are also explored.

Handset Telephone Costs Too Much
Preston Grover reports that the FCC says the average user pays $7 to $42.50 for a handset while the true cost to AT&T is about $1. Walker testified before the House committee that the hand set was an economy to the company, saving roughly $84,000 in wire costs and enabling about $23 million in excess charges from patrons. He noted wide state differences, from five to six cents extra monthly in Wisconsin to $420 in Mississippi, based on dated data through 1936, and urged scrutiny with a budget request of $550,000 for continued investigation.
