Non-Partisan Boards Likely For Relief Complaints
President Roosevelt considered creating non-partisan county boards to hear complaints of politics in relief while Congress readies relief funding. Boards would inspect discrimination claims in relief administration, with paid or unpaid members, and would not shift overall relief administration from the federal to county level. The plan aims to curb political use of WPA funds as lawmakers seek safeguards. relief totals are forecast at 650 to 750 million dollars, lasting until July 1.

Plant Kudzu Now Is Best for Alabama Farmers
Alabama farmers should plant kudzu crowns in winter while dormant to start on erosion control or grazing. Two-year or older crowns can be set, with hay crops possible from costs. Crown planting accelerates production, though it’s pricier than other methods, and basic slag boosts growth. County agents offer guidance for starting this popular hay and erosion crop.
