LIBERALS WAITING
GREENE SPEECH
Wonder if Roosevelt Will
Reveal Stand on la Fol-
Iette and Cutting.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Democrats and Republicans are
wondering whether President Rocse-
velt will give any indication in his
speech at Green Bay, Wis. Thursday,
as to how far ne will go TO hold the
support of liberal groups in both par
ties. There is speculation on the
possibility he might advance some
general program that would appeal to
Republican independents and other
liberals.
The Wisconsin speech is being made
in the heart of the Northwestern Pro-
gressive States. where Senator La Fol-
lette is up for reelection.
Same True of Cutting.
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt openly will
lend his influence to the Wisconsin
Progressive's candidacy in the face
of a move by local Democrats to put
up their own candidate is something
Democratic and Republican leaders,
both conservatives and liberals, would
like to know.
The same thing is true of the can
didacy of Senator Cutting. New Mex

campaigned for Roosevelt in 1882. and

Left Up to President.
Mr.. Roosevelt has let it be known
he would like to see Senator La Fol-
lette returned to the Senate in No
vember. Efforts were made by his
lleutenants to straighten out the
matter with Wisconsin Democrats
during his absence, but thus far they
admit privately no progress was made
Thus, the entire matter has beer
left up to the President. His ennis
Saries have withdrawn to await what
ever statement he might make

or less regularly recurring periods Of
drought, many OF them lasting for
20 or 25 years.
Between the years 1250 and 1900,
for example, there was a stretch Of
l3 years in which the trees show little
growth. The period Of this drought
conceded exactly with the migration
of the Pueblo Indian Tribe from Utah
and farther North into Arizona. Or.
Douglas derives the conclusion that
these Indians were forced to migrate
by a great drought extending over the
whole Middle Continental region and
lasting for nearly a quarter Of a
century.
Many of the experts believe this
Western country now is undergoing a
similar drought cycle. aggravated by
the plowing up OF the buffalo grass,
which originally bound the land sur

As sustaining the contention that

DROUGHT RAVAGES.
Learns Problem Is Three
Times Greater Now Than
Last June.
BY JAY G.. HAYDEN.
,cial Dispatch 10 The star.

Special Dispatch 70 The star.
GLASGOW, Mont, August tN.A.
N.A).-President Roosevelt got his
first direct picture of the vast drought
relief problem which confronts his
administration when he rode for 200
miles through the completely burned
out area of Eastern Montana and
listened to the reports of his subor-
dinate officials who are directing re-
lief in this and the other regions OF
the West.
He was told. for example, that the
drought problem today is three times
greater than when Congress ad-
iourned in June. after sppropriating
S525 900 900 for its relief. In little
over one month since the expenditure
of this money began. more than 20
per cent of II has been disposed OF
and. according to Lawrence West
brook, chief assistant TO F. E. r, A.
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, the
present appropriation certainly will
not last beyond January /. And, Mr..
westbrook said. upwards of 100000
farm families in the drought region
must be sustained from Government
funds at least until the first 1895
crops are harvested next June.
60 Per Cent of Land in Area.
The extent of the Government task
may be realized when it Is stated
that 60 per cent Of all the land in
the United States now is included IN
bracing all or part of "a States and
directly or indirectly affecting TO-
600 900 people.
Between 100000 and 400 900 farm
families. something like IS per cent
of the total in the emergency drought
areas. now are receiving direct Fed
eral relief. And of this number per-
haps 10 per cent. Mr.. Westbrook said.
never can hope to regain a living
from the lands they occupy and must
be moved elsewhere. Up to July 81
the Federal Government had pur-
chased 1881 900 head of cattle to
save them from starvation, and it is
now buying cattle at rate of 200, 900
day. The purchases so far made rep
resent approximately 80 per cent Of
the herds OF the farmers from WlOm
the cattle were acquired.
Stick by Farms.
So much for statistics. Vastly more
interesting was the human picture
which Mr.. Westbrook and the other
men directly on the relief job painted
for the President They told of a peo-
pie sticking grimly to their home
steads, consenting to move unwillingly,
If at all, despite the fact that the whole
topsoil of their lands literally has
been blown away.
Wheat farming, all Of the experts
said, is forever ended in very large
portion of Montana, the Dakotas and
to a lesser extent, in Western Ne
braska, Kansas and other States.
The only hope for these regions is to
return largely to stock raising. But
the task of shifting the population,
they also agreed, is not an easy one,
chiefly because of the devotion of
the people to the lands they now oc-
eupy; feeling rooted partly in senti-
ment, but more in an unwillingness

Text of Presidents Speech
Roosevelt Describes Fort Peck Dam as Part of Plan
TO Utilize Every Gallon Of Water in
Missouri River Area.

Is why our national planning is seek
ing to provide much smaller farms
but farms where you won't be faced
with starvation, and where you may
be able not only TO make both ends
meet-to make a living-but also
come to own these farms, free and
clear of any debt.
Want TO Use All Water.
Now people talk about the Fort
Peck Dam as the fulflllment of a
dream. Why it Is only a small por-
ton of a dream The dream itself
covers all the important watersheds
of the States, and one OF these water
sheds is what we call the watershed
Of the Missouri River, not only the
main stem of the Missouri, but count
less tributaries that run into it and
countless of the tributaries that run
into those tributaries.
Before man-before American men
and women get through with the
job-we are going to make every
ounce and every gallon of water that
flows from the heavens and the hills
count before it makes its way down
to the Gulf of Mexico.
1t is because we have undertaken
this very task that will take more
than generation to complete, we
have undertaken it now and the
people of the United States under
stand the object of the undertaking
l feel very certain that we aresgoing
to carry it through to completion and
that is one reaSon-the chief reason
that I am glad to be out in these
parts today when the young child is
born. to see the work in its concep-
ton, to see the fine spirit of the
people engaged in the work, and that
is why I am certain that it is going
to be carried though to the success
and the glory of the Nation.

Of time pioneers. now past middle
age. to pull up stakes and begin all
over again in a new land. Very few
Of the people so far have been per-
suaded to move.
The situation best may be under
stood. perhaps. II 1t is localized to
Montana. This State now has $500
farm families. Approximately
quarter of the whole number receive
most of their living from Federal
relief agencies. The situation of at
least 500 of these families is per
msnently hopeless. and they must
move.
Hope to Restore Farms.
The agency which is attempting
to provide these people with new
homes is the Rural Rehabilitation
Corp, organized locally. but financed
from the Federal Treasury. This
corporation is engaged, first. in a
great number of small irrigation de-
velopments. by which it hopes to
restore some of the existing farm
lands. Secondly. it is seeking out
new areas which it proposes to pur-
chase as a basis for colonization of
the stranded population.
DR.. w. J. Butler F. E. r. A. direc-
tor for Montana and lifetime resi-
dent of the State, explained the sit
uation:
THE bulk OF Montana land" he
said, never should have been
ploughed. Experience has shown that
one good wheat crop could be pro-
duced almost anywhere. The better
land would produce two or three or
four good crops. But after these it
was exhausted. Wheat simply draws
from the land its supply OF protein,
accumulated through the centuries,
and when this Is gone there is no
more. All of the rain in the world
will not restore it for wheat produc-
ton.
Must Return to Range.
Montana originally was a range
country, and to this it must return.
The future lies in locating stock
raisers on the limited areas Of irri-
gated land, with the privilege of graz
ing their animals for a fee on the
surrounding public domain, each
farmer to be permitted to Craze as
many cattle or sheep as he can feed
from the products of his irrigated
homestead in the Winter time"
This is the plan that the Roose-
welt administration is promoting. 1t
