Drought hits farms from Minnesota to Montana with oats heading out prematurely and many fields turning to pasture or hay. Duluth records 66 inches of rain for the month, the lowest since 1910, while fires burn 810 acres and grasshoppers threaten Montana and northern South Dakota pastures. Livestock are moved from Black Hills to central regions as stock ponds dry up. Farmers Home Administration officials urge recognition of the disaster to gain eastern support.
