The piece urges emergency steps by Governor Hobby to aid wheat farmers facing drought. A loan plan of 33 dollars per acre up to 100 acres is deemed inadequate since funds may arrive after planting.

Steam canner aids limited Wilbarger market outlook
The community canner offers a solution to marketing and supply problems as Wilbarger county faces a light sweet potato crop and scarce vegetables. A local man canned 140 cans of meat last week at about 18 cents per can for meat labor and cans. The steam canner preserves nearly all edible beef portions, tenderizes tough cuts, and helps housewives avoid market trips in winter. It can also process chickens and other meats. Mrs L A Moore and Miss Lobtie Belle of Burkburnett visited daughter and sister Mrs Dy Jones over Sunday and Monday.
