Boron in Irrigation Waters and Plant Injury
Frank Hornkohl explains boron in irrigation water harms many crops, with injury rising after one part per million. Symptoms include yellow leaf margins and leaf drop, varying by plant type. Remedies are limited to replacing water, diluting with better water, or growing less sensitive crops. He classifies crops by tolerance and hints at a follow up on alkali salts.

Roosevelt cites wheat acreage rise and AAA failures
President Roosevelt told Washington correspondents that this winter wheat acreage was 10 percent above the 1928 32 average and last year. He denied drought will cause a national shortage and said the reduction program was not responsible. Correspondents later learned the AAA paid to reduce wheat acreage, a policy now labeled as soil conservation.
