The Farm Administration an- nounced that it would resume cattle purchasing in the drought area to- morrow. last week because of the Chicago lswcknrds strike and an accumulation of animals at other centers, thousands of the drought-weakened cattle, suf- fering from lack of range and water, were killed as unfit for human con- sumption. In Texas alone, more than 61,000 were killed. The Farm Admin- istration also will ship 82,000 head into 10 Southern States for fattening before slaughter. Approximately 360,- 000 head will be bought this week. The Relief Administration load in the drought area has been growing steadily for the last two months: About 400,000 rural families have been receiving drought relief through work projects. It was estimated that an additional 400,000 are receiviug ald in towns and cities immediately affected by the drought.

The agricultural economics report on world drought said “considerable reduction”~in wheat production in Southern Russia was in prospect, that bread and feed grains in the Danube Basin had been damaged and that the wheat yield in Yugo- slavia and Bulgaria would be “much lower” than in 1933. “Drought damage has been par- ticularly severe in Central Europe, where both bread and feed grains hx\z suffered greatly,” the bureau | said, | “There is no likelihood, however, that the reduced crop this year will | result in a shortage of bread in Cen- | tral Europe since the principal rye- | will not forget that you are, in very | 4.968; Tom White, 842; E.
