To meet the first difficulty, con- struction of additional water reser- voirs probably will be among the! recommendations to President Roose-| velt in Bismarck, N. D., Thursday @t the conclusion of the drouth com-| mittee’s 3,000 mile expedition from Texas. | But whether restocking of ranches) from which cattle and sheep were shipped out this yedr because of! €routh conditions will come within/| the scope of the committee's long} range aims was unannounced. Emer-j gency relief agencies may have toj handle this phase. ' Hold to Permanent Planning The committee chairman. Morris L. Cooke, expressed sympathy and interest at Gillette Monday with the{ emergency problems, but reiterated, it must hold to permanent planning.' Will G. Metz, Cheyenne, and John| R. Neale, Laramie, WPA and re-| settlement administrators, respective- ly, for Wyoming, declared lower in-! terest rates for livestock growers are! pressing needs. It was Neale who called this a, leading grass area, and said “sale of| farm machinery for cash and live- stock on liberal credit” would be ali the adjustment needed. | Told one immediate need is lower} railroad freight rates to move live- stock to better ranges and bring in| hay, Cooke wired Monday mght for} support of the interstate commerce) commission in this movement. Water Is Big Need Additional water reservoirs were) requested by nearly everyone who! addressed the committee.
