DESERT TEXAS FARMS
DroutIl Has Driven Hundreds OF
Farmers to Cities for Employment.

Drouth Has Driven Hundreds oil
Farmers to Cities for Employment.
Dallas. Tex, Aug. 24.-With mill

ton being rapidly perfected under the
direction of Governor Hobby, the state
defense council and the state food ana
fuel administrations. succor for the
destitute drouth sufferers Of west
Texas was in sight today.
Farmers Desert Farms.
Thousands of farmers. deserving
their crops, which have been burned
to a crisp by the heat of the sun beat
ing upon the parched fields, have
gone to the cities, or to more IA
vored agricultural regions, seeking
employment as day laborers. More
than SO per cent of the farming pop
ulation of certain western counties
have moved, after seeing the crops to-
tally ruined.
The drouth is unprecedented for
duration. For weeks, not a drop Of
rain has fallen, and crops, which two
months ago gave promise of setting
new records, are a total loss. Corn
and cotton fields have been reduced
to brown masses of burned leaves
and stalks. Pasturage' has been like
wise destroyed, forcing stock raisers
to market their unfattened beef at a
loss

The rains came too late to do the
corn much good except in few To-

which have not been ruined by the
heat, the rain will prove great bless

To the people of Kansas the rains
are welcome because it means that the

Big Cut in Wasson's Budget
Commissioners Wasson's budget was
cut more than the budget of any
other commissioner. In the item for
miscellaneous expenses the $4,000
originally asked for was cut down to
$1,000 by Commissioner WATSON. The
money saved in cutting down expenses
in this department will go to make up
the raises to firemen policemen and
laborers which the commissioners con-
sidered more important now than any
improvements which might be made
A detailed statement of Wasson's
budget is as follows:
