In respect to prices, the general level of farm prices Is Indicated to be slightly higher than a month ago, wherear. a downward trend has prevailed mostly for several months, 1 Droughty conditions, especially throughout the southern part of the country east of the Missis sippi, account for most of the de cline In crop prospects. It will re quire good and timely rains dur ing the remainder of the Beason to bring about the usual total output or several crops, the report states. Special sections are given In re spect to various farm commodities. From the. standpoint of market demand conditions, strength la in dicated owing to the Income of In dustrial workers . being higher In April and May than at any lime for several years. Industrial conditions continue to show Improvement, con sidering U mm I seasonal trends. HuHhiHSB has received added activi ty from the soldiers bonus. . .

JAMESTOWN, N. D., June 29. (AP) The worst drought In the history of Stutsman county has transformed once fertile prairies into a dismal landscape. As far as the eye could see to day were blackened and yellow fields, many without rain for a year. Wheat, burned and brittle, was heading four to eight inches from the sun-seared soil If at all. Cattle wandered among the parched crops and along roads, for aging ror such sparse vegetation as they could find. A lengthening cavalcade of trucks, bearing ab normal loads of livestock from the ravaged region, rumbled through this community at the gateway to an area or blight that stretched northwestward over three-fourths of the state. "I've been here 27 years and have never seen anything like it." said C. P. Conaway, secretary of the North Dakota Ural 11 Dealers as sociation. I "it's developing Into a catastra- phe. The farther you go west the more serious It becomes. The only blights spots, outside of a few scattered areas which have had rain, are south and north of Orand Forks and along the Red River vatley at some points." John Wlnwoodle, chalrmnu of the stato agriculture conservation com mittee, sketched tho magnitude or the North Dakota drought. Of the 63 counties in the stale, only five Pembina, Walsh, Grand Forks, Traill and Cass can har vest a normal wheat crop, he said. The remainder will get little or no cash crop. C. A. Ward, regional resettle ment administrator lu Nebraska, estimated 75,0110 families in the drought ridden states woufd need aid, WPA representatives started a tour of the affected areas as Ad ministrator Harry Hopkins invit ed WPA officials to meet with him at St. Puul next Tuesday to draw plans for relief and water conser vation projects.
