FSA Proposes to Help 100000 Farm Families
The Farm Security Administration seeks to rehabilitate more than 100000 families displaced by Western drouths since 1930. It funds 15 camping grounds from San Diego to Seattle and pushes land reclamation to reestablish families on productive cut over lands in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho with long term credit and supervision. Walter A. Duffy, northwest regional FSA director, calls for special legislation and funds to stabilize drouth families before they drift into permanent relief or ruin.
