Some Aspects Of the Drought
THE current drought has been
characterized by the q. s.
Weather Bureau as "the most exc
tensive drought in the Genealogical
history Of the United States" Ac-
cOrding to J. B. Kincer Of the
Bureau the drought this year differs
in many respects from that Of 1880,
and in many ways is very unusual.S
In no other case on record has a
drought at any in time covered such
extensive areas as at present, and
seldom has so severe drought be-
gun so early in the year.
The records Of the Weather Bu-
reau show the drought was due to
the reduction Of rainfall to half tbs
normal volume, together with abb
normally high temperatures over
extensive areas. Abnormally high
winds combined with deficient rain
fall resulted in unprecedented dust
storms in May.
Along with tremendous damage to
agriculture Qosses in eight agricul-
tural states are already estimated at
$500, 100000 the drought brought
other serious consequences. The En-
cheering News-Record reports that
preliminary surveys indicate:
Rivers and streams have fallen
to record lows.
2-Most wells in the drought area
are exhausted and groundwater
supplies are rapidly falling.
3-A strong possibility exists that
certain municipal water supplies will
suffer from serious deficiencies.
4Dust blown by high winds dur
ing the spring has filled many
drainage bitches along highways.
Many roads are so covered with
dust that they will have TO be
cleared by scrapers.
Sewage disposal problems have
become formidable.
With typhoid fever spreading
throughout the drought area, the
question Of the shortage Of pure
water and hygienic problems must
be solved quickly If epidemics are
to be avoided. But the advice of the
U. S. Public Health Service to starv-
ing farmers and their families illus
trates the stupidity and cruelty of
capitalism in dealing with the sit
uation. The Service tells the VIC
tins to guard against malnutrition
Of children" and offers other good"
advice. At the same time the gov
eminent is ruthlessly pushing
through its starvation farm pro-
gram, which is the source of most
of the evils that health officials
warm against.
