Wheat climbs above yearly peak on market pressure
Secretary Wallace notes a short crop would not severely hurt the country due to farm board surplus, but immense crop damage in major regions and heat drive prices. Reports from Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotas, Montana, and Canada say the small grain crop is likely inadequate for domestic demand. Elevators hesitate as bids range from 60 to 65 cents while track bids reach 71 cents. analysts forecast possible rises to $1.50 if rains do not come, with projected domestic output under 200 million bushels.

Union Pacific Viaduct to Open for Traffic Today
Union Pacific viaduct slated to be ready for traffic today with drivers urged to exercise extreme caution. Once open, a full paving strip will be available. The east highway remains rough though crews are smoothing it and no graveling contract is yet let. The crossing over the Union Pacific spur line is rough despite planks and may need steel plating. Union Pacific plans no more repairs at the crossing, affecting the road work program including oiling west of town. Delays stem from a missing bridge and culvert. With federal help, more oiling and improvements may create jobs. The chamber highway committee asks no further requests from Governor Bryan or State Engineer Cochran, trusting fair future treatment for Cheyenne county.

Wheat processing tax may go into effect by July 1
Secretary Henry Wallace says a wheat processing tax, aimed at reducing acreage and paid to growers via county associations, could take effect the first week of July with first payments likely in September. The tax, about 30 cents a bushel, would be allocated by domestic consumption share and two installments would be issued after proof of acreage reduction. Wallace emphasizes social justice and argues needed acreage control to avoid surpluses and stabilize prices, while outlining broader farm program goals including dairy, corn and pork adjustments.
