Albany Port District eyes growth as deepening aids ships
Albany officials say deepening the Hudson Channel to 32 feet will allow deep draft ocean ships to reach Albany easing navigational hazards. The $31.928 million project, approved by President Eisenhower, already spurs new business including an asphalt plant, molasses storage, and a 13.5 million bushel grain elevator, aiming to make Albany a major seaport once complete.

Southwestern sheep ranching study summarizes costs and returns
James R. Gray of USDA ARS at State College releases Agricultural Experiment Station Report No. 7 from New Mexico A&M College. The study covers 1940–54 outcomes in the Southwest, noting lambs 37 percent, wool 35 percent, and sheep 12 percent of cash receipts, with major costs in feed, livestock purchases, improvements, and labor. Net income often rose under good conditions but declined in five years of hardship, and investment per ranch rose sharply after 1946 reaching over $100,000 then $200,000 in 1952. More than 60 ranchers participated and reports are available through the county Extension Office or NM A&M College.
