years normal flow of the Colorado
river as a margin of safety for the
irrigated lands downstream. By
holding back the water of the
Clinch river, a tributary of the
Tennessee, the Norris dam reduced
the flood crest Of the main river at
Chattanooga by three feet last
March. When the river shrank to
unprecedentedly low levels under
the blast of the drought in June, the
gates were opened, and engineers
announced that they had enough
water to maintain navigable depths
in the lower Tennessee even
through an extreme drought period.
Just what part each system
should play in the conservation of
water is a point of controversy
among engineers. A number of en-
gineers contend that more empha-
sis should be placed on smaller
dams to control the water run-off
at the source. A conference on this
phase of the work is to be held in
Washington in September, immedi-
ately following the World Power
conference.
Despite tremendous crop losses
in the dry regions, the Agriculture
department has assured the coun-
try that there is enough food on
hand to feed the nation for the next
IL months, although supplies Of
many staple commodities are be-
low normal. Prices of many food
stuffs will be higher because of the
drought.

an average cost of $4,000 each.
Drought Swings East.
In contrasting the 1886 drought
with that of 1884, one of the con-
spicuous differences is that the dry
center has swung further east and
southeast, while the extreme South
west, hard hit two years ago, is in
relatively good condition. This
spring, as the drought area began
to take form, it stretched in
broad band from little west of
the center of Montana to Kentucky,
Tennessee and South Carolina. AS
the season advanced the arid belt
spread northward and northeast
ward, even reaching into the New
England states. Heavy rains dur
ing the first part of July brought
some relief to Tennessee, Kentucky
and some parts of Virginia, al
though not enough to permanently
relieve the situation.
By the beginning OF July two
great islands of extreme drought
had developed. One lay like a
great blot through the middle
South from the Mississippi to and
beyond the Appalachians, while the
other crossing the Canadian bound
airy, ranged from Minnesota to
western Montana and south through
Wyoming and Nebraska. In these
areas crops this year are less than
IS per cent of normal. Between
these two sections crops ranged
from IS to IS per cent of normal.
Just how this crop damage will
compare with 1884 cannot fully be
determined as yet, but the follow
ing table shows that in at least
eleven of the affected states the
drought is more severe:

dollars for a project estimated to
cost seventy-five millions have been
spent, and congress has refused to

RENEW FIGHT AGAINST DROUGHT
Government Seeks Methods of Aevang Drought Ravage Future
Years Through Water Conservation

ture and the hotter the winds, the
greater will be evaporation. The
excessive high temperatures and
hot winds of this summer have
added immeasurably to the serl-
BUSINESS of the situation. For eX-
ample a small pond may lose more
water through evaporation than
livestock actually drink. If it dries
up and the farmer is forced to wa
ter his stock out of wells he reduces
the ground-water supply, the level
sinks, and presently the water stu
alton becomes acute. Multiply this
by hundreds of thousands of such
instances and it is easy to under
stand the stories of want and suf-
fering that have come out OF the
West during the summer.
The solution of this problem in
the future is simple, according to
government experts. Water is
natural resource, they contend, re-
placeable but not inexhaustlble.
The only way to be sure of having
it in dry times is to save it in wet
times. Upon this is based the gov
ernment's four-fold permanent pro-
gram.
The first move is to slow down
and lessen the loss of snow-water
and rain-water, either by methods
of cultivation which retain the wa
ter in the ground, or by impound-
ing water in dams. The latter may
range from huge engineering enter
prises like Norris or Boulder dam
to the simple dam which may be
constructed by farmer.
Whether the object is to prevent
floods, reduce erosion, or prepare
against drought, ground water
storage methods are the same.
Trees are planted on the sleeper
and less fertile slopes, medium
slopes are covered with cover crops
such as alfalfa or with sod, and
land with marked slopes is plowed
at right angles to the slopes, some
times with strips Of sod at inter-
walls between the burrows.
Methods Prove Effective.
There is little question but that
these methods are effective, and
that if they were sufficiently wide
spread they would tend to equalize
the flow of streams, would feed
ponds and springs further into the
summer, and would maintain the
level of water in wells. These prac-
tees have been demonstrated by
the Soil Conservation service; in
the work of the CCC; in the con-
servation operations of IVA; and
by other federal and state agencies.
When water does not have time
to run off it saturates the ground,
which becomes a monster reser-
voir. If plants have their roots well
down by the time the drought be-
gins they are better prepared to
Withstand a long siege of dry
weather.
To coordinate with this program
of ground water conservation is the
plan for storage of water behind
immense dams. The great dams
now completed or in construction on
the Tennessee, in the upper Mis-
souri, system, on the Columbia and
on the Colorado will furnish a
larger flow of water during dry
seasons. Boulder dam can hold two

of desolation that veteran farmers
say is without precedent. This con-
dition even extends into Minnesota.
Fields that were green with grain
and where lush pastures grew a
year ago, appear today as only
a blackened expanse. The range
country is burned so dry that it can
not support either sheep or cattle.
Millions of grasshoppers are ev-
erywhere. Even the small spots
that have escaped the ravages OF
the drought have been desolated by
this plague. When they complete
their work in one field they fly to
another. It is not uncommon, ac-
cording to travellers, to see some
automobile stopped so that the bat
tered bodies of thousands of these
pests may be scraped from the ra-
diator and windshield.
Hundreds of farmers whose lives
have been spent on these farms are
today loading their few possessions
in autos, trucks and wagons and
starting out for some other section
of the country, where they will at
tempt to start life over again. To-
day, their work of years is COM
pletely gone and they have become
discouraged with the struggle to
obtain living for their families in
the stricken area.
Offer Local Relief.
To help these unfortunate folk,
the Resettlement administration
has declared a one-year moratorl-
UNI on rural rehabilitation loans on
between $4,000 and $4,000 farms
in the drought-stricken counties
throughout the nation. At the same
time the Works Progress admins
tration has started a program to
provide jobs, digging wells, build
ing farm to market roads, and ter
racing land. About SIS, 100000 will
be available for crop loans and
feed, and the RIA will spend $1,7O0,-
900 monthly on $40 doles to suffer-
ing farmers.
It is estimated that between 81
600, 1000 and 5000, 900 farm dwellers
have been seriously affected by the
drought. A total of 204, 600 families
has been listed as dependent on re-
lief. Crop losses are estimated as
high as $500, 100000.
In the opinion of many, including
President Roosevelt, unless some
thing is done to check the drop in
the water table, the now fertile
regions of Nebraska, Iowa and Kan
sas will be drawn into the great
Dust Bowl. The consequences OF
this can hardly be imagined. Our
entire national economy would be
displaced.

stopped by long-range program
of permanent works. In accordance

These figures by themselves,
however, give only a partial pic

upon when the rain falls and how
much of it is retained in the ground,
pools, ponds and other reservoirs.
Evaporation Heavy.
Agricultural experts point out
that during a few weeks of the
early growing season, vegetation
may thrive on the accumulation of
soil water which extends to about
the depth of the growing plant roots
but after this period from seven to
eight inches of favorably distrib-
uted precipitation is the minimum
requirement for the production of
average yields unless temperatures
are abnormal.
The latter play an important
part, for the higher the tempera-
