Europe needs our grain says Murray for 1930s exports

Nat C. Murray, crop statistician, told North American grain elevator leaders that Europe will stay a potential buyer despite high duties. Germany, France and Italy impose duties totaling over a bushel worth, yet Europe will import US wheat due to intensive farming and labor surplus. He projects Europe to need 300 million bushels less, while the US exports remain weak. H. T. Carson criticizes government inaction to boost domestic consumption.

Two Transients Drown Near Fairbury Neb

In Fairbury Nebraska two transients drowned Friday afternoon above the mill dam on the Little Blue river. Gordon Culbertson a 20 year old from Ione California fell in while washing clothes and Paul Dicanicastro of Birmingham Alabama was pulled in while attempting a rescue. Neither could swim and both had arrived in Fairbury that morning on a Rock Island freight train en route to Denver. Dicanicastro registered at the federal relief office for food. Culbertson had served in the army at Plattsburg New York and carried an ID card asking that Mrs. Albert Johnson of Ione California be notified in case of accident.
