BROADER RELIEF
IN
710,000 Rural Families Now
On Relief 360 More
Families Need Aid Some
Are Past Rehabilitation.
WASHINOTON. April 19. (AJ)-
President Roosevelt' relief program
will permit the agriculture depart
ment to broaden substantially Its ac
tivities In helping needy farm famil
ies, officials said today.
Mr. Roosevelt has recommended
that congress appropriate !75.000,000
for rural relief during the fl&cal year
bKrtnntng July 1.
At present the department has
about 710,000 farm families on Its re
lief and rehablllatlon loan rolls.
Officials of the farm security ad
ministration, which dlrecta the rural
relief program, estimated that at least
an additional 360.000 families need
assistance. They said the. president's
suggested appropriation would make
help possible for the bulk of those
said to need It.
Needy In Two Classes.
Rursl relief ependltures this year
are ezectcd to total about 1118.000,
000. Most of the farmers needing aid
are located in the south, mldwestem
drought areas, the Paclflo northwest
and In California.
Needy farm families seeking aid are
divided Into two classes first, those
who might bo able to climb back to
a Bolf-supportlng basis with a mini
mum of financial assistance and
technical guidance, and second, those
destitute and In no position to gain
a self-sustaining basis.
Rehabilitation loans are extended to
those In the first clnss. In general,
the amount Is Just large enoueh to
supply the bare essentials for carry
ing on farming operations a plow,
a mule, seed, a few chickens, and
other simple equipment.
Loans are meat on the basis of
what supervising officials call a
'sound farm and home management
plan," worked out by local supervisors.
Program Drawn,
A typical farm and home manage
ment plan calls, first of all, for the
raising of enough vegetables and live
stock to meet the family's needs. Ac
reage la set aside for production of
fi for the worn tinlmals and other
livestock. The remainder of tli
farm ordinarily Is devoted to cash
crops, which are diversified as much
as possible.
The loans, ropayablo over a period
of five years at 6 per cent Interest,
average about SHOO.
To the wcond class of needy farm
ers those to whom officials say loans
could not wisely bo given outright
relief grants averaging 20 a month
are mode. Most form families re
ceiving this class of aid, officials said,
llvo on submorglnol land whore fail
ure Is virtually certain.
Meanwhile, attempts are made to
settle theso families on land where,
with loan assistance they might be
,ble to gain a nlf-uiportin '

"Whereas, there exist certain na
tions, who, disregarding the happi

ravage such for their own aggrandize
ment, and,
"Whereas, we are equally responsi
ble for these outrages unless we do
that which lies within our power to
restrain those responsible for such
inhuman acts, and
"Whereas. It would be Impossible
for these aggressive nations to wage
such wars of conquest without the
aid given them in the form of raw
materials and credit,
"Now, therefore, be It resolved that
we, the Upper Applegate Orange. No.

of establishing a boycott against Ger
many, Italy, Japan or any other na

sion, knowing that these wars are at

the principles of the self-determination
of peoples and the basic liber
ties In which we, aa a nation, take
pride.
"Be It further resolved that a copy
of this resolution be sent to the Med
