In Washington Navy 24 two elder figures proposed beer and juryless trials, with moves to amend the Volstead act coming from labor groups and Senator Bingham. The Supreme Court refused to rule on trial-by-jury rights in Colts v. United States, while Wickersham Commission heard testimony on enforcement. A severe midwestern gale followed by flood damage stretched relief efforts as Red Cross responded.

Dairy and Beef Profits Affected by Tick Infestation
Dairy and beef profits depend on low unit costs and fair pricing. Two thirds of the state face handicaps in producing affordable dairy and beef products due to cattle tick infestation. The pest hampers production and raises costs for farmers.
Louisiana Seen Lagging in Tick Eradication Efforts
A 1930 government report shows Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas have released counties from quarantine while Louisiana did not. Louisiana remains the worst infested among those states, hindering dairy and beef production and risking backward steps as other states advance. Also quoted: There is no occupation with more kibitzers than amateur house building per The American Magazine.
