Emergency Areas"
Noting that the DakotaS we're the
only two States, all of whose counties
had been designated as emergency"
drought areas by the Agriculture De-
partment. Drew said:
Il have just completed a county,
by-county tour Of both States and
conditions are far worse than in 1894.
Both cash and feed crops are COM
pletely gone except in a few isolated
areas and water shortages, particu-
larry in the western parts, are
serious"
Manv more dams, Drew said. will
have to be constructed in both North
and South Dakota to counteract falls
in underground water supplies.
Hunter reported that $4,000
drought-stricken farmers in the Great
Plains Area had been given jobs by
w. p. A. and that another 5000
and Wednesday.
Migration Of $4,000 families from
the drought wracked farms Of the
Great Plains was recommended today
in a population survey of that area
by DR.. C. w. Thornthwalte. former
University of Oklahoma climatologist.
His study. published by the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, contended
that wind erosion had damaged IS
per cent of the plains region, ex-
tending from the Canadian border
into the Texas Panhandle.
A long-range Government program
for the return of millions of acres
Of wheat land to its native sod, he
said, might be the only means of
checking the devastating duststorms.
Observing that long dry spells have
been frequent in the history of the
plains, Thornthwaite predicted that
the present drought might be pro-
longed for 20 or more years"
Evidence from tree rings, lake levels
and other sources was cited in the
survey to show that a 40-year drought
began in 1925 and was interrupted by
only occasional wet years.
The weather expert estimated that
a minimum of 1880 families should
move out of Montana, the State in
which he reported the greatest sur
plus population" He urged a inigra-
tion of IL 200 families from Texas and
1850 from North Dakota
Heavy removals also were suggested
for South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas
Oklahoma. Wyoming and Colorado.
School census returns indicated, he
said. that $4,000 families have left
the Great Plains since 1880.
