higher than a month ago, wherear.
a downward trend has prevailed
mostly for several months, 1
Droughty conditions, especially
throughout the southern part of

From the. standpoint of market

DISMAL PICTURE
Once Fertile Prairies in
North Dakota Become
Blackened Wastes.
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.
Governor Elmer Holt of .Molilalia
appeoled to President Roosevelt to
urrange a "permanent cure."
