Free Countries Trade Booming Across UN Survey
The United Nations reported that in 1951 only 2 percent of free world exports went behind the iron curtain while trade among free nations surged to a record 76 billion dollars. The drop with Communist areas was tied to reduced shipments by the United States, Canada, Japan, and Latin America, as free nations achieved a 200 percent rise from 1937 to 1950.

Drought Aid Hay Price Set at Twenty Eight to Thirty Six
The government opened its drought emergency program with a price of 28 to 36 dollars per ton for hay in Tennessee and Kentucky. Hay will be diverted from the Midwest to the two states with shipments starting soon. Costs above the 28 to 36 range will be paid by the government, and a 3 million dollar fund is allocated. The plan targets Tennessee and Kentucky first, then other drought stricken states upon request.
