Wheat Export Market Loss Sparks TFB Inquiry
The Texas Farm Bureau asks Senator Fulbright for hearings to probe why the International Wheat Trade Convention failed and for options to withdraw from the treaty. Sidney Dean warns that France sells wheat to Taiwan at 99 cents a bushel, signaling abuses of the IGA and disrupting world grain markets. Prices for Texas wheat were low during harvest, with a 29.7 percent drop in exports and a 47.3 percent rise in carry-over. The USDA cut 1970 wheat acreage allotments by 12 percent as the Farm Bureau backs a farm bill phasing out controls and quotas.

Texans Defeat State Water Plan in Amendments Vote
Texans rejected the $3.5 billion State Water Plan by a margin about 6,000 votes in last week's amendments vote. Voters approved a $20 million welfare increase and a survivor aid measure for state employees killed in hazardous duty, with other amendments also passing. The water plan would have financed canals linking states and possibly Canada to boost supplies across multiple Texas regions, though opposition cited cost and environmental impact.
