A newly published book by Yale professor Ellworth Huntington and American Eugenics Society official Leon Whitney argues birth control reduces the nation’s beauty and brains.

Farmers drift toward modest gains but farm business lags
Washington Pi Permers show slight financial improvement over the prior year though agriculture remains weaker than other industries. Farm product purchasing power sits at index 88, down 14 from prewar values but above last year. Wheat and potatoes exceed last year though prices stay unfavorable. apples are the smallest in six years and cotton is forecast about one third below 1926. Livestock stays stable as warm September aids maturity. Overall the season is mixed: average in the south, good in the north wheat belt, fair in the west and south, poor in the east, with good range and Pacific Northwest in the west.
