West Texas Drought Area Gets

voir behind Falcon Dam which

dedicate only last Monday.
Farmers were at once jubilant
and cautious. The experts have
told them it will take more than
one rain to break the drought, 4"
that a whole rainy season is
needed to restore the reservoir
of water under the ground. And
for those farmers about to har-
vest dry-land cotton, the rain
was disadvantage. 1t damaged
some bolls, knocked down others.
Half of Amarillo'S 1853 rain
total fell this week. Yesterday S
PA inches brought the weeks
total to 5.61, and the years total
to ILL. This weeks Amarillo
rains have been the heaviest in
three years.

the heaviest rains in three years,

Hay Distribution
Called Big Problem
Al Drought Farley
BY the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Oct. %. -
Transportation and distribution
Of an estimated IL million tons
of hay in the next six months
is the big problem facing
drought-stricken States.
That was the consensus of so
agricultural experts from 16
States who conferred here yes
terday behind closed doors.
They agreed the country,s over
all supply of hay is more than
adequate but getting it into the
drought regions remains largely
a matter of transportation and
distribution.
Three Points Stressed.
The group, composed largely
of State Commissioners of Agri-
culture, directors of extension
services and Production and Mar
keting Administration State Of
f1cials, made these other points:
1. Drought and disaster pro-
grams should be accelerated to
provide assistance with as little
further delay as possible.
2. The actual buying of hay will
be largely dependent on the re-
lationship between the cost price
of hay and the selling price Of
livestock.
3. The estimated IL million
tons of hay needed in the next
six months could be reduced by
the relationship between live
stock and hay prices.
Beef-Buying Proposal.
The agricultural commission
ers alone approved a statement
urging that the beef-buying
program should be reorganized
to benefit the producer and that
floor should be placed under
the lowest grade cattle purchased
by the Government. The state
ment was introduced by John
White, Texas agricultural COM
missioner.
The commissioners didn't say
how the program should be re-
organized or what kind of q
price support program should
be adopted.
Reference to the relationship
between livestock and hay prices
apparently mean that if suf-
flcient numbers of livestock are
disposed of there will be less
demand for hay. The smaller
demand would in turn lower the
cost of the hay.
States represented at the
meeting were Arizona, Arkansas,
Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia,
Mississippi, Missouri, New Mex
leo. North Carolina, Oklahoma,
Texas, Virginia and Wyoming.

Drought, which has continued
almost uninterrupted from mid
summer into the early fall, has
scorched pastures, killed fall
seedlings and lowered ground
water levels, costing Washington
area farmers millions of dollars.
This is the opinion of
Homer Remsberg. president of
the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Cooperative and of
other farm observers in the
Washington area.
In the area surrounding Wash
! 1ngton, pastures are brown and
dry and cattle have been on
winter feed since midsummer.
In many areas late fall seed
ings of grasses and small grains
have been killed, or drastically
injured by the continued dry
weather.
Wells Are Going Dry.
Wells in the area are failing
and in some sections farmers
must carry water to thirsty live
stock. Officials at the Geological
Survey report that the ground
water levels in the Washington
area are down from three to
! five feet.
While the supply of milk COM
ing into the Washington market
is about normal, reports from
the Union Stock Yards at Balti-
more indicate that cattle are
being dumped" by farmers in
the drought area.
The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors today asked the
Agriculture Department to
classify Fairfax as a drought
stricken, area. This would en-
title the county to buy hay and
grain at reduced prices under
the Governments emergency
drought relief program.
The supervisors acted on rec
ommendation of County Agent
Joe Beard. The resolution asks
Gov. Battle, the State Commits
sioner of Agriculture and the
State Agricultural Mobilization
Committee to help get the county
classified as drought area.
DR.. Harold Kennedy, Fairfax
County health officer, already
has requested that a study be
made looking to county water
system because so many private
wells have been affected by the
prolonged drought.
Fire Peril in Woods Great.
While the woods and fields
are so dry that they present a
constant threat of fire, local fire
departments report no special
activity. Forest wardens, fearful
OF woods fires. are cautioning
farmers and sportsmen to use
utmost caution.
Mr.. RemSberg said that while
the supply of milk is holding
its own, there has not been the
usual increase characteristic Of
the fall period.
He said the greatest damage
to dairymen, outside of the loss
of seed from dried-up fall
paintings, has been the necessity
OF feeding winter feed supplies

Cost Area Farmers Millions

and of the resulting necessity of
purchasing feeds and grains for
winter use.
At the Baltimore stock yards,
Claud Hylton said cattle are be-
ing dumped by farmers from dry
areas. He said grass-fed steers,
usually sold as fat cattle at this
season, are going as cutters
and Gamers" This means that
farmers are getting much lower
prices for cattle that normally
would be sold at the higher
grades.
Winter Feed Since July /.
In Fairfax County, James M.
King, who operates an 800-acre
farm west of Fairfax Court
house, said he already has pur-
chased $4,000 worth of hay and
will have to buy more before the
winter is over.
Mr.. King said early cuttings
of hay we're normal, but second
cuttings did not mature. He
said he has been on winter feed
for his 110-cow milking herd
since July l
Ned Sutphin, owner of Flat
lick Farm near Chantilly, Va, is
carrying water to 20 heifers that
formerly drank from a spring
and from Flatlick Branch that
runs through his farm.
Mr.. Sutphin told of a neigh
Dor who has been driving his
herd of cows more than one-half
mile to water. He said Harold
Young, who lives near Centre
vile, hasn't enough water left
in his well to water his stock.
He said Mr. Young has to drive
his herd through a neighbor's
farm to a stream twice a day for
water.
