Grain Dealers Seek Relief From Drought Measures
Former West Virginia governor Howard M. Gore, chair of the drought relief committee, will meet Governor Conley in Charleston to discuss tomorrow's committee session. Grain feed and fertilizer dealers demand a square deal in relief planning, warning against dealer exclusion and direct buying that could harm notes held by farmers. R. M. Steele of Alderson contacts the governor’s office stating 1400+ southern West Virginia dealers fear losses if plans bypass their role. Steele argues dealers must share in relief by offsetting lower freight costs and preventing profiteering, noting many farmers’ notes face potential permanent loss. He also says county farm bureaus offer limited reach, with as little as 20 percent member presence in best counties. Monroe County, lacking a farm agent, is among the hardest hit, though not listed in the top eleven. An official state road commission announcement on Wednesday’s committee meeting is expected, potentially increasing road funds for this year. T. J. McGorran, farm agent, area details incomplete.

Drought Strains West Virginia Child Welfare System
Miss Mary Yager executive secretary of the state board of children's guardians said drought has harmed child welfare across West Virginia. State homes at Elina and Huntington are full while new ward requests outpace discharges. Warped farming livelihoods trigger more appeals to reclaim children, mothers desertions rise, unemployment grows, and some families fear winter hunger as a three acre loss compounds food supply at the Children's home.
