However, through the allotment committee the farmers have been fairly well taken care of in regard to feed and seed which is about all they would receive under the drouth regulations in any case. With the government pondering a proposal to take drouth areas out of production by some means or other, it is impossible to tell what results might evertually come from a hasty decision to be classed as a drouth area. As the entire county must be so designated if a part is to be helped, it is doubtful if the government would class this county among the drouth counties in any case.
