Critics warn of legal battles to defend irrigation entitlements amid proposed dam projects and potential exports. The piece cites Simpson and Doran site moves and outlines a call for unified legal action by riparian landowners.

Bread price fears ruled out by Food Administration
The Food Administration reports bakers in several US cities threatened to raise bread prices citing higher costs for 25 percent substitutes to wheat flour. Telegrams to State Food Administrators indicate substitute prices are regulated and trending downward. Cornmeal is cheaper than wheat flour, and corn flour, oats, and barley are at or below wheat flour prices. Overall, further declines in substitute prices are likely, leaving no justification for bread price increases.
