Set Aside Cash for War On Dust Bowl
A five state farm delegation learned the federal government earmarked two million dollars to begin fighting dust bowl conditions. The funds come from a ten million drought disaster line and will pay workers to perform compulsory conservation on blowing land under local oversight with owners billed and repayable. Critics warn compulsory work may force small farmers to quit. About 25 million acres are affected.

Drought Strains Rio Grande Valley as Snow Fails to Help
A southern Colorado snowstorm feeds Wolf Creek and Cumbres passes with heavy accumulations but fails to halt a long drought. Rio Grande water is at a 42 year low at El Paso and Elephant Butte allotments are only five inches per acre. McKay calls the outlook poor as basins including Gila San Juan lose normal precipitation.
