PAGE FOUR THE GREAT DROUGHT The year 1934 is the driest and hottest that has Deen recorded for; 70 years. The great west of the 1 United States Is passing through. experiences that are terrible. The United States weather bur- | eau says draughts, hurricanes and; cyclones are caused by continued disturbances of circulation of the ■air. These phenomenal conditions upset all weather calculations. The president proposes to use all his power with the government to help farmers and other suf ferers. Already about 2.500.000 head of cattle have been purchased, most of them In Montana, and an agricultural department statement says that more than 90.7 per cent of all beef animals bought in this state, which would otherwise have died from thirst or starved, have been saved and turned into meat. Likely another 2.500.000 bead of cattle will be purchased by the government, and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in a recent statement tells how these drought cattle are being handled by the big packers and converted Into canned and frozen beef for relief purposes. The plan is simi lar to that carried out with pigs that were slaughtered by the mil lions. The present program will continue the policy of controlling supply and demand, and relief and full co-operation by the govern ment. In full confidence that the “new order” is better than the “old way” the president is resisting public criticism of his policies. It is easy to agree with Hearst (but only once in a great while) when he decided for “his half-of all-the-people" that "President Roosevelt has a complicated and highly technical job to perform.” Anyhow, all our hearts are beat ing in sympathy for the drought suffers. There will be time enough to discuss Roosevelt’s pro gram later on. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMIS SIONERS OF BIG HORN COUNTY.
