Production may fall from 500 million bushels in 1932 to around 200 million. Deserts form north of the US border in Saskatchewan. Alberta prospects slim but better than Saskatchewan.

Sanderford Stands by 22 Per Capita School Apportionment
Ghent Sanderford, president of the State Board of Education, said the 22 per capita school apportionment would stand despite the Texas tax board’s refusal to vote a larger school tax. The tax board noted a 31 million dollar surplus could fund 17.50 or raise to 20, but refused extra tax. The move left ad valorem rates at 49 cents, the lowest in 21 years. A. W. Robinson of Topeka and his wife celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
