It is true that in the extreme south end of the county
there was nothing grown on some far ms. 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. Even this
year we raised about as much wheat per acre throughout
the county as the average wheat land of the country
produces.
