The House Labor Committee resumed its wage and hour study after President Roosevelt indicated support for changes favoring union labor. Roosevelt urged no lowering of prevailing wages and backed a labor standards board limited from interfering with collective bargaining. AFL leader William Green delivered amendments aiming to restrict prison-made goods, remove Walsh-Healey oversight, and halt broad labeling mandates. Critics warn Green aims to delay action, with House members considering lowering firm exemptions to small employers.

Shallow cultivation advised to protect shallow corn roots
Under fifty degrees maintains corn sweetness longer. Observations show over half the roots lie in plowed areas with roots spreading rapidly laterally. Roots sit an inch or less underground at stalk and three to four inches deep between rows. Cultivate as shallow as possible after plants are well started along and between rows. hilling or ridging brings roots near the surface and is not good practice.
