Two Pennant Contenders Rise in 1941 World Series Outlook
The author bets the New York Yankees or Cleveland Indians will meet Cincinnati Reds in the 1941 World Series. Yankees boast strong catching, pitching depth, and star outfield led by DiMaggio. Indians rely on Hall of Fame starters led by Bob Feller and solid infield. Red Sox and Tigers loom as threats, while White Sox and Browns could improve. In the National League the Reds are favored with top pitching and defense, Dodgers and Cardinals also strong bets. Cubs or Pirates may vie for fourth, Giants and Phillies unlikely. The Yankees emerge as the strongest overall club.

Origins and evolution of the U S Department of Agriculture
The Department of Agriculture began in 1836 with seed distribution by the commissioner of patents. An entomologist was added in 1854, followed by a chemist and botanist and a propagating garden in 1855. Lincoln moved it from the patent office in 1862 to Isaac Newton as first commissioner. Norman J. Colman became first secretary under Cleveland in 1889.
