Nation's Drought Situation Better
Washington reports drought conditions across the nation have improved with fewer disaster areas this year. Kenneth L. Scott of the Agriculture Department notes a big decrease in drought designations since 1954 and says some counties remain under discussion though the total is not large. Cattle feed programs may benefit as drought spots persist in parts of the country. In Lincoln, Illinois, thieves broke into a dog kennel sanctuary, stealing 1,200 pounds of dog food from Robert Sanders’ kennels, with no witnesses.
