Widespread use of the organi­

in bringing drouth relief wherev­

is being rapidly accomplished ac­

amount of this will even extend
to Oregon, it is learned.
By early June three Oregon
counties, Jefferson, Harney and
Malheur, had been placed in the
“secondary” list of drouth coun­
tries. Meanwhile W. A. Schoen­
