The gov ernors of the states have been almost unanimous in their assurances of in- crea^ activity in public works. The president himself has pledged the fed eral government, so far as congress will authorize it, to a building and de velopment program beyond what had contemplated. * 1$. iMaii to be true, then, that nn- all previous slumps in the stock come out of Russia is the reported dis covery by Russian botanists of a new hybrid grain, a cross between wheat and rye.
