DROUGHT AREA
SEES HOPE AS
RAINS BEGIN
international News Service

past week relieved drought con-
ditions in the North and North
east, but in the interior the
drought continued unabated in
its ravaging intensity, the
Weather Bureau reported today.
In general. however. the report
inferred that the rains made con-
siderable inroads on the drought
in general and held out hope for
an early recession of unfavorable
conditions.
Those portions benefiting most
from the rainfall were Kentucky,
Ohio, the Western Lake region,
parts of Indiana and Illinois, Wis
consin, Northern Iowa, Minnesota
and Eastern South Dakota.
On the other hand, the South
ern portions. of Indiana and ILL
noiS, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Northern Texas
failed to receive relief.
Temperatures High
Abnormally high temperatures
continued in the Midwest, the re-
port revealed, with large sectors
suffering from the mercury top
ping 100 degrees daily. Many areas
found relief in sharply cooler tenn
peratureS, however, with northern
Michigan marks lowering around
a maximum of go degrees all week.
Rains of the week improved the
late corn rather generally in the
Middle and North Atlantic area
and in the Eastern Ohio Valley;
also in southeastern and northern
Indiana, northern Illinois. Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, the Weather
Bureaus weekly crop summary
said today.
With immediate urgency for
drought relief measures allayed
by rains in the core of the drought
area, officials today awaited re-
turn Of President Roosevelt from
his Western tour before mapping
out a fall and winter drought-re-
lief program.
The biggest problem Of the
drought, Works Progress Admins
tration and Resettlement officials
said, will come with winter, when
outside work relief projects, par
ticularly in the northern Great
Plains States-and in fact over
most of the drought area-cannot
be carried on.
Both WPA Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins and Resettlement Ad-
ministrator Rexford G. Tugwell
are with the PreSirent, as it Sec
rotary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace. All hold key positions in
the drought-relief program.
10000 Given Work
In their absence, WPA and Re
settlement have been carrying for
ward only aid Immediately urgent.
More than 10000 farmers in the
drought States have been put to
work on WPA projects, chiefly
water conservation and farm-to-
market roads. ReSettlement is
making grants to farm families
for food, thus far aiding some
1900 families.
However, with the coming Of
cold weather, which strikes early
in the DakotaS, Montana and
Wyoming, few of WPA'S outdoor
projects can be carried on.
Then will have to be decided
the question of how to provide for
the stricken farmerS-by mere
subsistence grants from resettle-
ment, the only governmental
agency now authorized to make
outright relief grants, or by re-
turn to the direct relief system of
FERA, which was discontinued
December l last.
According to ReSettlement Ad-
ministration surveys, at least $780,
900 farm families will be in need
of Government aid this fall and
winter.
