East and South favored by federal wheat controls
Cheyenne County wheat growers are cutting acreage to satisfy government wheat allotments. The county ASC notes about 2,200 acres have shifted away this year, mostly to eastern and southern farmers who stay compliant. With June 1 as the compliance deadline, many fear losses to next years’ bases unless spring conditions allow hay. The program’s mechanics distribute noncompliant losses to compliant regions, prompting calls for changes and new crop rotations like safflower to protect base acreage.

Murdered mute Roddy Beene found dead at brother's house
Roddy Jaye Beene, 48, a mute, was found dead in the living room of his brother N C Beene's home at 15th and Toledo about 7:30 pm. An autopsy cited a concussion from a blow to the head causing choking on mucus. Bloodstains were found throughout the home, and authorities weighed possible homicide or robbery as motives. Sheriff W W Schulz noted the room was in disarray and suggested the wound might not be personal safety related. The four children who discovered the body had returned from a movie. Beene had been unable to speak since early childhood due to illness. The time of death was estimated between 6:30 and 7:30 pm.
