Alfalfa yields look satisfactory with first and second cuts ready, wheat and barley harvest underway in southern and western areas, and vegetables in good condition.

Cattle Syndicate Plans and Pony Beef Industry Rise
The San Antonio Express shares the first public statement from Joseph L. Loving on the Capital Syndicate's cattle and land options worth about 35 million dollars. Plans aim to hold steers until market readiness, reduce operating costs, and boost cattle value by delaying sales to Dakotan and Northwestern markets. Pony beef calf feeding experiments in Fort Collins show rapid weight gains and potential profitability amid a cautious outlook for the venture. A bank robbery-style pursuit is noted with an ex-convict leader and a suspect who may reveal confederates.
