STILLWATER Okla The state Agricultural Stabilization Committee said it hopes to begin processing by Monday requests for drouth relief from the 26 counties made eligible by President Eisenhower's order this week. Fred E Percy program officer for the ASC said instructions are ready and the counties are made eligible for relief. Reuben Sparks Republican nominee for governor yesterday said the entire state had been declared a drouth disaster area and the other 51 counties would be eligible when they asked for help.

After their applications are processed they will be carried to Washington for possible inclusion with the first group of 26 state counties. Gov. Johnston Murray and the State Drouth Committee
