would melt anything. One of
them, quite overcome, had to lean
back against the wall.
When the throeS of the first
excitement were over I telephoned
Charlie, apprising him of the
wonderful arrivals, and so dis
continuing the use of the tele-
phone that had been the factor
in making our imprisonment bear
able, and I believe one of the
major factors in our release.
While we were waiting, others
arrived. I had found that the
first two arrivals we're from other
localities-Stellarton and Golden
ville-and presently, to my utter
amazement, a thick-set man in
miners clothes was introduced
to me as the Minister of Mines,
which was only capped by another
introduction to the Minister of
Health.
To the latter I reported the
death of our friend Magill, and
pointed out where his body lay.
TINE Minister of Health had
Il rugged up a sort of belt which
could be used in taking us to the
surface. I put this on first, but
in reality I did not need it be-
cause I could make better time
under my own power. With ALT
it was different. His legs we're in
such shape that he was unfit for
anything but the belt.
Jack Simpson, one of these Her
cules, wanted to carry me on his
back. Ills back was bare, his shirt
having been taken off, and he was
strong enough to carry three of
me. =.
But it was impossible for bulk
such as his, with me on his back,
to get through the small tunnel.
However, we made start and I
began to scale the side wall to the
opening, but I had to get off his
back. He preceded me and my
journey began.
I found that we were crawling
alongside of and around the pipe
in the east part of the shaft, and
along this extremely tortuous
opening were men pressed against
the side of the wall, giving me
space to pass.
These men were there by ar
rangement, in the expectation that
we would have to be passed up by
hand. They we're the draegermen.
They we're supposed, if necessity
arose, to lie on the foot of the
channel and pass the person from
one to the other over them. How
ever, thank God, that was unnec-
eSSary.
AS I made this tortuous ascent
and passed these men I looked

same degree as my friend,
ALT Scadding. His physical
sufferings were of a kind
that pleaded for immediate
amelioration.
The last hour or so we became
conscious that work had again
been resumed. The scuf1ing
pushing and talking had COM
menced again, and we judged
that another shift had come on.
We both lay facing to the north,
and was wondering in a de-
tached sort of way what manner
of men were working, trying to
extricate us.
This was my first trip to Nova
Scotia, and although I had had
many close friends from that
province and had known the
Blue Noses" in France, I had
really not known the miners.
Yet obviously there were some
fellows working away among the
fallen timbers and rocks of this
mine, following an urge that
compelled them to take chances
no man in his reason would take
for pay.
These were the heroic.
II KNEW perfectly we'll that the
Il advancing men we're doing one
of the most cold bloodedly cour-
ageous things that man can be
called upon to do.
Apparently they were not adj
vancing through a large tunnel
which was we'll supported and
timbered, but through some rat
hole they were making. 1t might
easily collapse at any one of a
thousand points.
ALT was sleeping when the voice
wakened me from a browse, and
looked up to see volumes of light
in the shaft. I was not deceived
by this, as one can very readily
conjure up visions after being in
the dark for long time. But
the voice came again and the light
persisted.
1 wakened ALI and shouted:
Can you see the skip? You are
in the shaft" The voice an
swered: Yes" and Immediately

Slithered two miners, with their

Half of the United States is now
suffering from drought-at total Of
tewnty-eight states. Already $50
counties in Is states have been des-
ignated as primary drought areas.
Regardless of whether or not the
crop damage turns out to be great
er than in 1884, the effects Of this
drought will be much harder on the
farmers than ever before. In some
areas farmers have been fighting
drought for the past six years;
four of these-1930, 1881, 1888 and
1934-were droughts of the first
order. And, in addition to drought,
there has been depression.
The governments crop estimates
are now out of date, even before
they are issued. But it is now a
greed that aside from favorable
patches in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, spring wheat is a failure;
its production is estimated at 100
million bushels as compared with
a five-year average, 1882, of 241
million bushels. The total wheat
crop is according to the Wall
Street Journal, probably 25,000,-
900 to 100000 bushels short Of
home needs"

DROUGHT
Relief Program Is Inadequate

York." the Crop Reporting Board
said on July 81.
The Administration is following
much the same tactics that it used
in 1884. After all, drought fits in
with the official reduction pro-
gram; it is a welcome ally in the
policy of destruction. For two
months the Administration mimi
mixed the danger of drought. Then
the Department of Agriculture re-
ferred to it as the Baby Drought.
Wallace talks about the 'freak-
ish weather." but there is nothing
freahsh about drought on the
Great Plains. The Weather Bur-
eau says that drought on the
Plains and other western sections
is "only what may reasonably be
expected to occur from time to
time" The Administration pre-
tends to be surprised, even though
the Weather Bureau has repeatedly
held that such catastrophes are
'no surprise" Evidences of the
drought this year came as early as
March. 1t was we'll known that sub
soil moisture was lacking over
large areas; without subsoil mois-
ture, almost perfect rainfall was
needed to bring normal crops. Past
experience has shown that the
chances of getting such perfect
weather are only about one in
ten.

cry 81 in grants. These loans are
made at 5 per cent interest rates
and required as security a first
lien on the crop or livestock. Their
effect has been to add to the far
mer's burden of debts. Those far
mers, who manage to get grants
instead of loans, will be paid from
$18 to $40 a month, according TO
the RIA.
Since the WPA cannot set up
work projects rapidly enough to
ease the distress, it expects to give
relief to only one-third of the fam
lilies while Resettlement is to han
die two-thirds of the cases. WPA
has stated that it will pay an av-
erage of $44 a month; but it adds
that the $44 is about the same
as the $40 from Resettlement, since
work projects cannot continue in
cold weather. The farmers will
therefore be expected to save half
of this small amount to carry them
through the winter.
The WPA boasts that it will con-
centrate its work, wherever pos
sible, on the building of water
conservation projects. These pro-
jects, of course, have no effect ups
on the present drought; and after
six years of drought, it must be ad-
mitted that the government is
little late in providing this aid.
Moreover, the projects are, in near
On the one hand, government
officials have stated that every at
tempt would be made to prevent
the liquidation of livestock. On the
other hand, WPA ruled that indiv-
idual resources must first be ex-
hausted before a farmer can get
job on work relief. The New York
Times July III claims that this
policy els aggravating the situa-
ton" Farmers who could carry
their livestock through the winter
if they could get on relief are de-
MED aid and must reduce their
herds to a minimum basis and
mortgage them till they can be
mOrtgaged no further.
Before the livestock program
went into action, Tugwell announc-
ed that funds were inadequate and
set strict conditions upon the
of loans on foundation
herds. Adequate security must be
put up by drought farmers; and 5
per cent interest must be paid.
Animals already heavily mortgag-
ed will not be accepted, and thus
the small farmers most in need Of
aid are Disseminated against. Tug
well also indicated that where feed
prices are too high relatively to
the value of livestock, feed loans
would "be discontinued"
ly every case, of small size and are
little more than a make-shift for
real conservation.
Over many states, wells have
been drying up; and water must be
hauled over long distances for hu-
man beings as we'll as for live
stock. Though relief officials said
that red-tape would not be allowed
to hold up the program, the 10000
Sioux Indians, driven to drinking
water from green stagnant pools,
were told to form cozops in order
to get loans for drilling wells. The
WPA insisted that it could not
drill wells on private farmlands.
