Stockman Raises Sheep for Fur Not Wool in Texas
Archer county stock breeder Alex Albright owns the only commercial karakul fur herd in the United States.

World Wheat Shortage Seen as 1934-35 Crop Outlook
World wheat supplies outside Russia and China are projected to be about 240 million bushels lower than 1934-35.

Russia expects a solid harvest aiding exports, offset by new imports into China, and durum premiums may rise given tight hard red spring quality.
