Major drought area faces presidential meeting in Des Moines
Des Moines Aug 21 Two major drought problems confront five central states governors meeting Sept 1 with President Roosevelt. The drought stock of 196,000 farms, plus a long range plan for future droughts, loom as the key issues as crop losses mount. Oklahoma shows the sharpest declines with corn 80 percent below normal and pasturage near collapse. Kansas and Iowa also report severe reductions, while Nebraska and Missouri face heavy feed shortages and early abandonment of land in parts. The gathering aims to unite candidates on a common solution to a crisis that touches crops, cattle, and farm families across the plains.
