First class college aims for 500 to 600 students
The president announced a goal of 500 to 600 students for the college, rejecting plans to grow to 1,000 to 1,200. Texas crop totals fell five percent to 1.2 million acres from last year due to wheat cotton and rice allotments and abandonment. Sorghum acreage set a record, partially offsetting the loss. Mrs. Warren Braley was taken to Galveston for treatment, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Nethery Jr and Skipper, with the Netherys visiting Mrs. Braley’s parents in LaMarque.
