No Disaster Designation Denied for Oklahoma Panhandle
Oklahoma Gov. Henry Bellmon refused to grant a disaster designation to six Panhandle counties hit by drought. He urged farmers to store feed and rely on self-help, comparing a disaster declaration to propping up an oil drill that hits a dry hole.
