drought-stricken portion OF Nebraska
signed by committee claiming to rep
resent large interests was today sent to
the governor. 1t recites that the com.

hot winds destroyed crops. The commit
tee explains that it has reason to believe
from all it has been told that thousands
OF families will "either starve, emigrate
or be fed by charity, unless the people
as whole provide for them"
The committee suggests as q solution
OF the problem that special session Of
the legislature be called Immediately to
devise state system of irrigation and
that the drought-stricken district be given
employment on the bitches. The COM
mittee locates most of the distress west
OF Grand Island and Holdredge. The To-
cality in which the drought was most
severe has been troubled periodically
since Nebraska was made a state.
