Irrigation Sparks Super Yields in Humid States
The March Better Farm notes irrigation as a path to high yields beyond drought insurance. Examples show Alabama cotton yields rising from one to four bales per acre with irrigation, milk value per acre up, Virginia corn yields increasing to 152 bushels, soybeans up from 17 to 31, Missouri sorghum milo at 90 bushels, and irrigated wheat far surpassing dryland. Only about 3 million acres irrigated now, with potential 20 to 50 million more. Homing pigeons are mentioned in wartime relief roles.

Rural women join labor force rise across nation
Long passage details how rural women increasingly enter wages, led by a shift seen since 1950 with married women in their 30s and 40s returning to work as children need less care. Reports show about one fifth of rural workers are women, with a quarter of rural women 20 to 50 employed, and a notable share in eastern Kansas.

Army Denies Conspiracy in Peress Hearing Case
A transcripted defense before the Senate Investigations subcommittee states that Army chief counselor John G. Adams denied charges by Sen. McCarthy that he and top White House aides conspired at a Justice Department meeting to block Peress related hearings. Adams clarified that the January 21, 1954 meeting, attended by Atty. Gen. Brownell and other officials, discussed only loyalty board and McCarthy related issues, not a plot to call off hearings or attack the senator. The testimony supports no conspiracy and reiterates the stated scope of prior McCarthy Army hearings.
