Wheat production policy from United States Food Administration
State Food Administrator E A Peden forwards to T O Walton and M College of Texas the Administration's stance on wheat growers. The policy seeks national self sufficiency with home producers allowed twelve pounds per person per month for a year, excess wheat to be sold commercially or to neighbors for seeding. It urges campaign success to make non wheat regions self sustaining in wheat.

Federal road program for 1919 season urged by commission
The Federal commission calls on state highway departments to review each application on its merits as it prepares a nationwide road and street construction program for 1919. In cooperation with the Office of Public Roads and state departments, the plan aims to gauge needed products, transportation needs, and labor demands, guiding statewide projects and municipal work. The southern San Antonio roads, championed by the Chamber of Commerce, are noted as unaffected by a recent council decision, with military purposes cited as the motive.
