TVA Row Deepens as Berry Claims Flood Quarries Sparks Conflict

The dispute centers on a supposed sacred but flawed friendly agreement with Lilienthal and Harcourt Morgan. Under the new farm program county committees must set acreage allotments for individual farms, with 1938 Illinois and other states detailed in allotments and harvested acres.
