No Fund for West Dry Farming Experiments in Senate Fight
Congress rejected a $60,000 appropriation for dry farming experiments in the arid west as an agriculture bill passed the House without the provision. Senatorial action shifts to the Senate where Rep Mendell and Rep Marshall advocate the study to aid settlers facing low rainfall and failed irrigation reach. Secretary Wilson urges funds to continue dry land farming research for the vast semi arid region from Canada to the Gulf.
