Impacts include potential spoilage worth millions, stalled fresh fruit shipping, possible auto production cuts, and layoffs in Florida and California agriculture.

Double slaying in Ochiltree County linked to Derby Cronister
Eyewitness account to Vincent Lockhart details the killings of C. W. Barker 53 and son W. H. Barker 26 by Derby A. Cronister who faces two murder complaints. Cronister, free on bonds, may be reviewed by Ochiltree County grand jury Tuesday. Cook, visiting from Missouri, narrated the sequence from the Cronister property near Perryton to the shooting after a dispute over gates and property. The record notes Cronister had recently sold his farm to Bill Barker and Cronister’s hunt for a combine prompted Cook’s visit. The trio encountered the Barkers, shots were fired, and Cronister and Cook then sought law enforcement in Perryton.
