TEXAS DROUGHT is BROKEN
Western Part of state Gets Its First
Good Rains in Over
Two Years.

Dallas, Texas, June 10.-The long
drought which has prevailed in West
Texas for two or more years, cauSing
little less than disaster to the cattle
raising industry of Texas, has been
partly, If not wholly broken. Three
good soaking rains fell in that district
within seventeen days. Grass is now
coming out, water holes have been
partly filled and a general spirit of
optimism prevails with the cattlemen,
many of whom staked fortunes on the
effort to hold out.
Ranchmen who had waited from
month to month for the rains shipped
thousands of head of cattle out of this
district to other ranges. Many dollars
were spent by the stockmen on feed
to keep alive those few cattle that re-
manned on the ranges. They declare
that had the rain been delayed another
six weeks the plains of Texas would
have been practically deserted of cat
tie. ...
All of Texas west of line drawn
north and south through San Antonio
constituted the drought district, prac-
tically all of which is devoted to the
cattle raising industry. Part of the
district, however. contains some agri-
cultural land, devoted mostly to truck
farming. Little cotton or corn is
| grown.
The drought began in some sections
/ late in the summer of 1914 and almost
ever since the cattlemen have had a
/ fight on their hands to save the herds
with which the ranches were populat-
eu at that time. In 1915 the situation
grew more serious and the rainfall was
liar below normal Early in 1915 large
part of the district had fair rains, but
there were many. large. areas which
had none, and others where the rain
! fell so rapidly that it did little good
Throughout the summer of 1916, al
Through 1917 and well into 1918 condi
tions grew steadily worse.

FOR FOOD AND SEED
WAR EMERGENCY COMMITTEE IS
HELPING IOWA. ...,.

l. N. Taylor, of this district, who
attended the War Emergency Food
Committee meeting at Ames last week
says action was taken on number
of important subjects of interest to
the farmers of Iowa.
II developed that the government
is holding in reserve here in Iowa a
large amount OF good terminating
early corn grown in the State of Del
aware, and advising the use of a
small amount of this seed where other
corn is not available. 1t is thought
that this corn should mature satisfac.
torily but small amount is suggest
ed so that the crop may be used for
fodder and silage If necessary. The
committee further recommends that
corn be. used in the, flooded lands if
| it can be planted in the proper time
which would mean generally speak
| ing June Is in northern Iowa and a
week later in the southern counties.
| FALL WHEAT-Dr. Pearson gave
statement regarding the needs of
fall wheat for the coming season. AS
near as can be asCertained at this
time the same acreage as last year
should be sown in this country. A
definite sttement will be issued as
\ soon as possible by the Department
of Agriculture as to the recommends
tions on acreage. The committee
felt that publicity material should
1 soon be started to ask farmers to
plan their acreage at an early date SO
that the ground could be prepared
and seed secured. "
! MEAT PRODUCTION.-rMr Hunr
who was appointed a member or; the
] Agricultural Committee to confer
with the Department of Agriculture
regarding production problems gave
a report on the recent conference al
Washington. He also reported thai
4 the cattle situation is improving
greatly and that feeders seem yer,
4 willing to fill up their yards. The
hog situation, however, is not so gooC
as the market has been unstable. TIL,
committee was of the opinion that NJ

to adjust meat production or prices

and demand take its course
