mately 100000 tons of hay for dis
tribution to farmers in the drought

purchases in surplus areas for re-
distribution in drought sections of

the drought area already are feed
ing next winters forage and that
additional supplies of feeds must be
provided in the area to forestall a

handled the distribution of hay to
farmers in the area during the 1880
drought. when more than 5000 car
loads were subsidized for sale to
farmers. That year, it was said, the
cooperative lost quantities of hay
that had not been properly cured
prior to shipment.
Hay to be purchased for drought

ment inspected to insure its being in

In addition to hay, CCC is releas-
ing a portion of a three or four
