UTTER 07 TRANSMITTAL
Drought Coordinating Committee,
Washington, D. C., July 15, 1935*
To the Members of the President's Drought Committee:
There Is herewith transmitted a comprehensive report on
the Drought Problems affecting agriculture daring 193*+ «nd 1935
to date*
fills report, prepared In the Statistical and Historical
Unit of the Commodities Purchase Section, Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, sets forth conditions, measures of relief, organi
sation , finances, operations, and results.
The report is subject to revision and will be further
supplemented by the addition of material as Indicated at several
places in the index, pages 1 to 7 * inclusive.
Bespectfully submitted,
FOREWORD
In this document is the story of how an invention of mgn — »
government —
did battle against a scourge of nature —
drought.
The drought of 193^ was the worst of which we have any record
In the United States.
That it did not permanently crush the spirit
and destroy all the property of millions of fanners and townspeople
In the afflicted area Is due in some part to the vigorous, prompt
action of the Federal Government.
This is a record of which
American citizens can be proud and grateful.
The record of human suffering during the drougit can never
adequately be told, but it is at least possible to tell, as this
report does, what was. done to relieve that suffering.
It is a
story worth telling, and worth preserving against the time when a
comparable danger may confront the Nation.
M. L. Wilson, Assistant Secretary,
Department of Agriculture.

THE DROUGHT - FEDERAL RECOGNITION
CHAPTER 1.
THE DROUGHT - FEDERAL RECOGNITION
I. THE PRESIDENT'S DROUGHT COMMITTEE.
In the spring of 1934 as the need of Federal action because of
drought became apparent, the Honorable Chester C. Davis, Administrator,
Agricultural Adjustment Administration; the Honorable William I. Myers,
Governor of the Farm Credit Administration; and the Honorable Harry L.
Hopkins, Administrator of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration
were named as the President*a Drought Committee.
Later the Secretary
of Agriculture, the Honorable Henry A. Wallace, was added by the Presi
dent and became Chairman*
More recently Dr- Rezford G. Tugwell, Under
Secretary of Agriculture has been meeting with the Committee as aa
Adviser*
Representatives of the Department of Agriculture, including
the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, met frequently with re
presentatives of the Farm Credit Administration and the Federal Imrgency Relief Administration*
It was generally agreed that economy of
operation could best be secured by maximum use of existing agencies.
This policy guided all programs of the several agencies.
Constant consultation and careful planning kept the agencies
in close touch.
After a prolonged session Sunday, June 3* 1934, the
President's Drought Committee submitted a Memorandum to the President
Monday, June 4, 1934
(Tor letter transmitting the memorandom, see
pages 40, 41 and 43 of this report).
June 19, 1934 the President
approved the Act of Congress resulting from this memorandom.
8

$525,000,000 was appropriated for the relief of stricken agricultural
areas.
June 23, 1934 the President signed an Executive Order allocating
$150,000,000 of these funds.
DROUGHT CO-OBDMATIEG COMMITTEE
After the appropriation by Congress a memorandum of understanding
was prepared setting forth the duties and obligations of the respective
agencies*
Shis memorandum was signed by Mr. A. T. Eggate and Mr • S. M.
Ganrood for the Tara Credit Administration; by Colonel Lawrence Vestbrook
for the Federal Emergency Belief Administration; by Mr. Keith Southard
for the Federal Surplus Belief Corporation and by Colonel Philip G.
Murphy for Agriculture.
(See Appendix F, Exhibit 4, page 209.)
Thereafter, in order to further facilitate the interchange of
information and harmonise the various programs, the Livestock-Feed
Committee was organised at the direction of the President, and on
August 17, 1934 the Secretary of Agriculture approved a memorandum of
organisation*
(See Appendix F, Exhibit 5, page 217.)
The duties of the committee were stated as follows:
1. The Livestock Feed Coamlttee shall function as the co**
ordinatlng channel for the agencies engaged la drought
relief —- the Federal Bsergeacy Belief Administration,
Farm Credit Administration, Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, and the Department of Agriculture*
2.
The Coamlttee shall inform itself as to all phases of the
drought and formulate plans 'for relieving distress do»
to the drought. It shall recommend general policies to
the President1s Committee and when approved shall arrange
the division of functions between the several agencies
and endeavor to prevent overlapping of duties or neglect
of any phase of the problem*
It shall arrange for close
coordination of the work of the agencies la states and
counties■

Drought Comit tee.
The Conmittee has net frequently to discuss many
phases of the different problems presented and to effectively coordinate
the programs of the several agencies.

the United Stats*.
Overwhelming catastrophe faced the faraers over a
large area of the United States during the growing season of 1934 and
the following winter.
Tremendous hardship and auch distress was in
prospect as a result of the widespread crop rain caused toy the un
favorable weather.
Tith distress at the doors of Billions in a
drought of unprecedented proportions, it was clearly evident fey the
aiddle of Kay 1934 that a national emergency existed.
To aeet this ssMrgency a well thought out prograa of Federal
relief was promptly inaugurated, and enlarged as the drought extended
its blighting effects over a much larger area than had been antici*
pated in initial, emergency aeasurea.
This report, prepared as a record of the activities of the
Departaent of Agriculture and the Agricultural Adjustaent Admlnistr*tion, in bringing aid to drought-stricken faraers in 1,400 counties
and twenty-five states, has been aaended to include the activities of
all agencies of the Sovernaent to which were allocated funds froa the
Xaergency Appropriation of $525,000,000 aade by the Congress for the
relief of stricken agricultural areas.
These agencies — the Departaent
of Agriculture and the Agricultural Adjustment Adainistration,
the Tara Credit Adainistration, the Federal Xaergency Belief Adainis
tration and the Federal Surplus Belief Corporation, and the Saergency
Conservation Adainistration (Civilian Conservation Corps) — worked
12
In harmonious cooperation to alleviate the distress resulting from
the drought.
Before considering provision for relief and the operation of
definite programs, It Is of prime importance that careful attention
be directed to the nature and effects of underlying conditions*
I.
THE COHDI'HOI OF THE CATTLE IUJUSZBT
In the spring of 1934 cattle stocks of the United States
were very large*
An unsatisfactory market daring most of the per
iod 1938 to 1934 had resulted In the holding of large numbers of
cows and surplus heifers.
fhe Cattle and Sheep Section of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration reported in April that daring
this six-year period cattle muri»ers— beef and dairy— increased
10,651,000 head, or approximately 20 per cent.
count almost up to the post-war peak.
This brought the
Farms and ranges were over*
stocked, and many comparatively old inferior cows were to be found
in most herds.
The number of breeding cows had reached the highest
figure in history.
The cattle industry as a whole was on an unprofitable
basis.
The market which ordinarily would have been open for dis
tress cattle In smaller areas did not exist because prices were too
low to Justify shipping costs*
Inbound shipments of roughage like
wise were hampered Iqr the same factors of expense and distance.
owners naturally were unwilling to market animals that might not
bring freight charges.
The
13
Furthermore, the average stock was heavily mortgaged-
Mort
gage holders, too, were unwilling to permit shipment to market un
less assured of payment in an amount equal to the average per head
mortgage.
Unless that could he assured., mortgage holders insisted
that the animals he held, for the reason that on any other basis
the average per head amount for which the remaining animals stooA
as security would have increased.
A different attitude on the part
of lienholders would have made it increasingly difficult to discount
their notes.
Cattlemen everywhere held on to their stock awaiting the recovery of the market*
The average age increased.
head value decreased.
She condition of total cattle was below nor
mal.
The average per
Steers were liquidated first because of their higher value.
Female cattle were held, and total cattle makers continued to monnt.
STEPS TO IMPROVE THE CATTLE MARKET
The cattle problesi became national in scope early in 1933*
Up to that time it was considered serious only within cumulative
drought areas - principally the Texas Panhandle, eastern lew Mexico,
the Dakotas, Minnesota and eastern Montana*
On August 14, 1933, cattlemen representing practically every
state in the Test, met in Denver, hoping to devise some means of
averting the impending cattle crisis.
The Department of Agriculture
was represented and took a part in the program. . At this meeting it
14
was decided that very little could be done until cattle were includ
ed as a basic coanodlty in the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
A com-
■ittee of five was appointed to lay the natter before Congress at
the next session, and ask that cattle be made a basic comodity.
A
draught relief coamlttee was also appointed.- and all railroads trav
ersing the drought states were requested to grant half rates on cat
tle shipped to pasture, and on feed shipped into the drought terri
tory.
following the meeting in Denver, cattlemen continued their
efforts, through their various livestock associations, to advance
the interests of the cattle industry*
After a long and bitter fight
in Congress, the Amendment to the Agricultural Adjustment Act
(73d Cong., April 7, 1934), known as the Jones-Connally Act, among
other provisions, made beef-cattle one of the basic commodities*
By
this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture was authorised, to handle cat
tle surpluses under a program similar to adjustment programs for
other farm surpluses*
Prior to this definite step to inaugurate a program in the
interest of the beef and dairy cattle industries there was little
hope of an adjustment of cattle numbers to market conditions and
feed supplies •
But before relief could accrue from this legislation
to the country as a whole it became necessary to extend its bene
fits to drought-stricken areas, and temporarily defer aid to the
rest of the country*
However, provision intended to reduce cattle
15
surpluses through a disease eradication program could ianediately
be realised In limited areas in connection with a greater emergency
than had been anticipated.
The drought of 1934 forced a crisis in the great eattieproducing section west of the Mississippi Biver, but found the
Government ready to aid the farmer in helping bring the price level
of cattle to a normal relationship to prices of articles which he
mist buy.
RASHER COIDISIOHS LEADING UP TO THE BROUGHS
She first acute development of the 1934 drought centered
around the Dakotas and Minnesota and might be termed the climax of
a series of recurring downward trends of rainfall in that area over
the past decade*
Shis draughty condition became pronounced in
December 1929, and grew more and more serious until its culmina
tion in what the Veather Bureau classifies as the most disastrous
and far-reaching drought recorded since the Bureau was established.
A. striking result of these dry years was the six-foot lowering of
the water level in the numerous lakes of the region*
She reported rainfall in lorth and South Dakota had been
below normal during eight of the tea years 1924-1933, and the
first four months of 1934 up to May 1, had been the lightest on
record for that period.
In Minnesota, nine of the last ten years
had been relatively dry, and in 1934,
of normal had been received.
to May, only 54 percent
Shis was lightest on record for
16
those months *
In Nebraska, nine of the last ten years had scanty
rains, and only about half of the normal rainfall occurred during
the first four months of 1934.
In Montana, eight of the last ten
years had less than nornal, and only 76 percent of noraal occurred
from January to May*
In addition to this northwestern.group of states, pronounced
droughty conditions developed progressively during the suaraer over
an area which included lezas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, most of
Iowa, portions of Wisconsin, and Michigan, Illinois* Indiana, Ohio,
and other states*
Troa January 1 to May 1, 1934, Kansas had only 62
percent of normal rainfall; Missouri, 66 percent; Iowa, 57 percent;
and Ohio, 61 percent*
Compared with the corresponding months of
previous years, they were the driest on record for Illinois; the
driest since 1889 for Indiana; the driest since 1902 for Ohio; and
the fourth driest on record for Iowa; the driest since 1895 for
Missouri; and the driest since 1909 for Kansas*
In the four states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska
and Minnesota, the five-year average of rainfall, up to the end of
1933, was 19 indies; while for the five years ending with 1909,
which period constituted the last maxima drought in this area, the
average was 24*1 inches, or 27 percent greater.
fhns in the aost
recent period rainfall was 21 percent less than in the preceding
series of drought years.

to the end of the growing season*
It also gives the percent for
the twelve-month period, Septeaber 1, 1933 to August 31, 1984.
In
comparing these figures, by states, it should be noted that only
ten of the states * Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Utah - were
wholly within the drought area; and two states - Michigan and Indiana
contain no designated "emergency" drought counties*
She averages for
the states of Arkansas, California, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Oregon, Texas,
Wisconsin, and Wyoming are unquestionably higher than the averages
for the designated drought portion of these states*
COMPARISON WITH OTHXR DROUGHTS
In contenting on droughts, the feather Bureau observes "that
rainfall averages differ from place to place and from one season of
the year to another*
the economic results of drought cannot always
be measured by the shortage In rainfall alone*
It is obvious that
a rainfall amounting to 70 peroent of the noraal in regions of
abundant precipitation Is not as serious as a proportionate defici
ency in places
where
the total rainfall is barely sufficient for
the growth of staple crops*
She moisture content of the soil at
the beginning of the drougit is always an important consideration" Monthly Teather Review, September 1930*
Hence the figures which
show the amount of precipitation daring the weeks and months imme
diately preceding the drought are of special importance*
19
The drought of 1934 differed materially froa the drought of
1930 in that it occurred inch earlier in the year, and spread fro*
the northwest, while in 1930 the drought originated in the centraleastern states and spread westward.
Ordinarily, periods of drought
are immediately preceded by an abundance of rainfall.
In 1930 pre
cipitation was abundant up to aid-spring, and was followed by an
extremely dry roaster.
fhe drought of 1934 was preceded by an un
usual dearth of moisture in most of the drought statesIn 1894 when the second most serious drought visited the
United States a fair spring rainfall had resulted in a reasonable
growth of grass and cultivated crops*
Consequently when the nation
wide hot winds struck in aid July there was a considerable quantity
of vegetative growth upon which livestock might subsist uotil the
next crop season*
*o attempt will be made here to explain the cause of droughts,
however, in Appendix I on page 204 will be found a comprehensive state
ment on this subject which has been furnished by the Teather Bureau.

While unusual drought conditions existed in many parts of the
world in 1934, the extent of damage was not so great in other coun
tries as in many parts of the United States.
Iren in the irrigated
sections of the Test, froa which surplus has frequently come daring
past droughts, serious shortage of water, because of limited snowfall
and the overstocking of ranges, prevailed,
fortunately conditions
20
were favorable in the eastern part of the United State* and tone
surplus feed was produced there.
CHOP COtfDITIOHS
She drought, entering a terloue stage in April, grew worse
in May, the month when all small grains normally are getting their
start.
(See Chart 2).
In wide areas these grains were blasted be
yond recovery, even with the scattered rains in June.
These rains
being neither general nor generous enough to supply adequate mois
ture for growing crops, the drought continued to widen in scope and
deepen in intensity.
On June 2, 1934, officials of the Bureau of Agricultural
Iconoalcs sent urgent calls to all crop and livestock statisticians
in drought affected states for immediate estimates of crop produc
tion.
Within twenty-four hours state statisticians, with the co
operation of field representatives, crop reporters, county reporters
and others commonly used in the compilation of crop estimates, were
reporting back to Washington.
In response to similar emergency dispatchee, reports came in
promptly from the various market news and other branch offices of
the Bureau of Agricultural Xconomics all over the drought area, and
from commercial seedsmen and others who regularly cooperate with the
Bureau in the preparation of reporte on stocks of seeds and feeds.

DROUGHT XF7XCTS AMD THE FOOD SUPPLY
Despite the extreme effects of the drought over a wide area,
and the unusual devastation of crops, food supplies proved ample to
meet the general needs, due to carry-overs.
To insure the continue
tion of adequate supplies, the Drought Belief Service early in the
summer made an estimate of surplus food supplies actually available
and determined upon the most effective means of utilising and distri
buting existing surpluses.
A systematic survey indicated that, except for meats and re
lated products, there was no serious shortage in the United States
as a whole*
The publicity of these reports had the good effect of
allaying public anxiety in regard to the food supply.
The facts
further revealed that the current crops, although not showing the
usual surpluses, were near normal, and that stocks of bread grains
were ample for immediate needs.
Fruits and vegetables were shown
to be abundant outside of the drought area, and dairy and poultry
products were adequate for the remainder of the year.
Supplies of certain food items were decidedly short in many
quarters within the drought area, requiring more than the usual
shipments from outside.
Detailed maps were prepared and furnished
26
to the federal laergency Belief Administration as a guide in neetisg
the food needs In particular case*.
As a farther means of regelating
the food supply situation, steps were taken to inform the Belief Adainistratlon of existing surpluses that were tending to depress
prices to farmers, and to insure against loss through diversion of
raw products into less valuable food channels, in the absence of a
substantial market.
With this information in hand, the federal
Bsergency Belief Administration was enabled to buy surplus supplies
for distribution among persons on the relief rolls, particularly
within the drought area.
Through these measures, food products which otherwise would
have been sacrificed for less valuable food uses, disposed of at un
profitable prices, or wasted, were conserved and utilised la the
interest of the producer, and made to serve the cause of the needy
in deficient areas*
LOTSTOCK TSED SUPPLY CDBIAILID
While most crops used for human food were greatly curtailed,
and in many localities completely destroyed by drought, the most
acute situation developed with respect to feed for livestock, par
ticularly hay and roughage*
Stocks of old hay, already short, folV
lowing three successive light crops, were soon depleted, because of
extremely scanty pastures and resultant necessity for hay feeding.
She bulk of the hay crops, dependent principally upon the moisture
of Hay and June for development, proved a failure*
27
Early in May many report* came from the drought area indicatlag serious daaage to crops and shortage of water supply, affecting
the lives of aniaals, as well as hnaan beings.
Twenty-nine counties
in Horth Dakota reported the "drought of 1933 not yet broken"; sev
enteen counties reported "crops destroyed"; thirty-four counties re*
ported "dust storas seriously affecting crops and livestock"; thir
ty-two counties reported "no feed"; and thirteen counties reported
"stock dying"*
Other counties reported "crops suffering"; "seeding
stopped because of windstorms"; "insects ravaging crops”; and "dire
need for feuaan food".
Similar reports cajae from Minnesota, South
Dakota, eastern Montana, and later froa aany other states, as the
drought spread, and courageous farners battled against the saae odds*
She plight of faraers and others within the drought area
aay better be understood by viewing the conditions suamarised as
follows:
(a) Shortage of aoisture for seeding and for growing crops
both in non-irrigated and irrigated sections;
(b) Deficient water
supply for livestock and hnaan needs, both rural and auniclpal;
(c)
An ever-increasing fila of dust on growing crops and the ravages by
insects and other pests.
Zhese and other conditions combined to curtail prodnctlcn,
while old stocks of feed rapidly disappeared, due to the excess live
stock muabers being deprived of noraal pasturage*
The condition
aight well be described as a feed shortage within the reach of water
28
in on* section, and a water shortage within the reach of growing crops
in another.
Chart 4 farther indicates the growing seriousness of con
ditions that resulted from a lack of moisture for growing crops, and
a shortage of water for livestock and hnman needs*

Drought difficulties in the most distressed area — the Dakotas
and limited parts of eastern Montana and western Minnesota — hare
been camalativ* over a period of years*
The recent drought, starting
within this area in the early spring of 1934, soon extended its
hounds to include the entire central and northwestern portions of
the Qreat Plains.
By June 1, a noratal spring farm cash income of
one and one-half billion dollars had been very Materially reduced
in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, lorth Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, Utah, and Colorado.
Is early as the middle of May, 1934, the water supply for
irrigation purposes was reported to be very short over mch of the
West.
She states affected recognised the seriousness of the situa*
tion early and took steps to conserve all available water supplies
and to supplement them where feasible in the interest of growing
crops as well as for livestock and human needs.
In many instances
such measures proved futile, however, as crops were completely
destroyed over wide areas under the continuous hammering of a blast
ing sun, supplemented with moisture-robbing hot winds and insuffici
ent water to properly irrigate.

Table 4, compiled from information contained in a report of
the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering issued about August 1, gives
a fair picture of the water shortage among the larger reservoirs
in California* Colorado, Idaho, levada, Hew Mexico, and Wyoming.
Practically all small reservoirs were reported dry within the drought
area, and the entire water supply from storage reservoirs in Utah was
exhausted, with the exception of the Echo Beservolr, which contained
only enough water to last until the middle of August.

The Bocky Mountain states suffered most acutely from shortage
of water stored in reservoirs.
A great many of the reservoirs ware
completely emptied by August 1, despite the fact that lass water
than usual had bean apportioned among crop areas.
It was estimated
that only a few reservoirs in the entire area would have any water
to carry over into 1936.
31
Orotund water re»erroir« likewise sank well below the previous
lowest level*
In Texas one to seven feet lower than usual was re*
ported, doe to unusually heavy pushping draft.
In the states of
Kansas and lebraska the ground water table was estimated at from
five to fifteen feet below noraal on August 1.
Pumping for irriga
tion purposes was resorted to on an increased scale in those areas
where shallow water was available*
Vater was hauled many miles for
livestock and human needs, since wells were either dry or the supply
inadequate.
The problem of supplying water for both livestock and human
needs, by every available means, became of paramount concern*
THE LIVESTOCK CRISIS
Faced with a serious shortage in the feed and water supply,
■altitudes of farmers in the distressed areas found it impossible
longer to carry their cattle.
In many sections, there was a serious
shortage of water for both man and beast.
Vater was shipped into
these areas in tank cars for emergency use, new wells dog and old
wells sunk deeper by the Federal Saergency Belief Administration,
in an effort to cope with the situation.
Vith such conditions
existing the immediate task was the problem of salvaging animals
which otherwise would soon die of starvation or thirst, and providing
feed to maintain foundation herds, in order to perpetuate the live*
stock industry, the backbone of agriculture in the drought area.
Vith extremely dry weather during the summer and fall of 1933, short
32
crops* and sub-normal precipitation daring the winter and early
spring of 1933-34, livestock case out of the winter in poor condi
tion.
furthermore the prospect* for good pasture were exceedingly
renote.
Producers had held on hoping against hope that the drought
would soon he broken and that wholesale disposal of their livestock
would not be necessary.
Then it finally became evident that a sub
stantial proportion would have to be moved out of the drought area,
many of the cattle were so emaciated that they could not have with
stood shipment to market.
Thus when the dry summer of 1934 struck the cattle owner he found
himself confronted with excessive cattle numbers, a large percent
age of very low value, low prices for the best grades, no water, lit
tle feed, cattle suffering, and a market that might not pay shipping
costs on railroads requiring prepayment of freight charges on many
shipments*
Tithout assistance to the cattle owners, the welfare of the
general public would no doubt have been seriously impaired; and
the loss of hundreds of millions of pounds of beef suffered; this
while millions of people in the United States many in a state of
destitution, lacked sufficient food.
The disaster to families, com
munities, counties, and even states, by the loss of the oattle
which figured very strongly in their livelihood and economic founda
tion would have been tragic in Its effects.
These conditions, and
the increasing number of dispossessed families, with the cattle
33
which ordinarily provided them with food and enabled them to live
on the land gone - families that would prove an increased harden upon
already overburdened relief rolls of urban communities, together with
the financial situation in hundreds of communities following a con**
plete loss of the assets which secured their credit structure - were
all considerations that had to he taken into account in analysing
this situation and giving its gravity full significance*
facing such extremities, sturdy farmers, such as have made
the great lorthwest, and prior to the cumulative period of drought
were usually in a position to help other localities in time of cal
amity, now had no recourse hat to turn to their Government for assist*
ance*
ffceir feed supply was exhausted or practically exhausted,
their livestock were suffering and dying from starvation or from
grazing on short, dried-up pasture literally covered with dust and
sand carried by windstorms from the roads and plowed fields.
She
Minnesota State Director of the Hatlonal Emergency Council in a re
port to the Executive Director in Washington on April 30, 1934,
stated:
"It is possible to feed people and keep them alive in the
drought-stricksn regions, but I can't see where it is humanly pos
sible to keep the stock alive**
So many and so distressing were the reports that oame from
an ever-increasing number of states and counties during ipril and
May, 1934, that the existing conditions, detrimental to the wel
fare of so many human lives and human interests, could easily be
recognised as a national emergency.
34
Responding, therefore, to nuaerous diatreas calls from the
drought area and acting upon advice froa field representatives who
were making constant surreys of conditions, the several governaea*
tal agencies already mentioned in this report joined hands in a
united effort to relieve the distress of stock producers and others
in the stricken area who were dependent upon agricultural pursuits
as a source of income and livelihood.
III.
POLICIES OF THE 1DMINISSRATI0I
Zhe formulation of administrative policy had taken into con
sideration practical economy baaed upon aeeessity and had been ad*
ainistered in the light of human need.
SHE APPROACH TO SHE PRQBLM
The problem of drought relief was viewed froa two standpoints:
First, the urgency of the present need; and, second, the future need
for permanent security.
tration proceeded;
With those principles in mind, the Adminis
(1) To minimise suffering of huaan beings and to
prevent starvation of livestock.
Due regard was to be given to the
public interest, the interests of the persons endangered as well a*
to their creditors, and to proper economy in the expenditure of
funds — these measures to be accomplished with the maximum results
is the minima of time.
(2) So aid the ultimate advance of the
agricultural population to a condition free froa burdensome debt,
with fair and equal opportunities to earn a good livelihood*
Zhe solution of the probleat involved two important phases —
35
the removal of surplus livestock, and. ike maintenance of select
foundation stock:
(1) She purchase and removal of surplus livestock
from the drought area, while urgent, was ainor, in importance, to
provision for the adequate maintenance of animals laft on farms and
ranches*
(2) Ike car* and maintenance of subsistence or foundation
stock, involving various measure* to conserve f*«d supplies, consti
tuted the major phase of drought relief.
In approaching the problem of drought relief, the Adbaiaistratioa proceeded in a manner that would safeguard the progress made
in the direction of parity, prevent the retardation of various inter
related programs of recovery, designed to increase buying-power for
the nation as a whole, and to keep present production in balance with
future production, insofar as consistent with drought exigencies*
Shis attitude was early considered as vital to the interests of fant*
ers within the drought area, as wellas those who had not suffered
such an intense, temporary set-back.
BBfOTiL Off m u SURPLUSES
She removal of farm surpluses had already been adopted as
an adjustment measure.
It could at once be applied also as a re-
lief measure for farmers and producers overstocked with cattle, a
basic cooModity under the Jones-Connally Amendment; and, later,
sheep and goats, under a special ruling by the Comptroller General,
as a further necessary relief to farmers in drought-stricken areas.
She surplus removal of livestock had as its prime motive the
36
maintenance of foundation stock In tke direct intereet of the cattle
and sheep industries-
Zhe urgency of the drought situation focused
attention upon the program as a two-fold surplus rmoral and relief
aeasure*
(l) Zhe necessity for redaction in livestock umbers had
transcended the thought of a aere weeding-out process.
It becaae
necessary to consider surplus m o r a l on a much larger scale than
had been anticipated in existing legislation*
(2) Zhe redaction
of denand in the face of an inevitable feed shortage, and the re
ceipt of inch needed ready cash in the fora of benefit and purchase
payments, proved of untold value to producers, under the Saergency
Livestock Purchase Prograa.
Likewise, the distribution of food
froa aniaals fit for human consumption, through the facilities of
the federal Baergency Belief Administration has proven and will con*
time to prove of decided benefit to the destitute within the
drought area, and over the entire nation.
ZHK nCXSSISI I OR COBSXRTAIIOB HAS0B1S
A drought differs froa other disasters in that it is insidious
in its development and method of approach.
A tornado* or a fire,
coaes and goes with suddenness and spectacular!ty, leaving bewilder*
neat and desolation in its wake*
of a flood.
And the same is aore or less true
Bope hardly enters until despair reigns.
But in the

scope or duration, the farmer stands by hopeful of what a day may
bring forth, while his crops, rooted in a soil of dsipletod aoisture,
wilt under sweltering heat and scorching winds*
37
The conservation of usable surpluses la a manner that would
protect the aarket for similar far* products, as well as furnish
additional supplies for the needy, was tout the 'beginning of the
conservation measures, designed to conserve and increase the morale
of ■altitudes.
These same people without inaediate and affective aid,
faced disaster through the loss of livestock and other resources*
Supplies of seed of adapted varieties which had been devel
oped over a period of years were threatened with disappearance because
of the urgency of the need for livestock feed, in the stricken areas.
Frowst action on a large scale was necessary in order to conserve
superior seed stocks, already low due to preceding droughts aad the
ravage of insects in drought states.
The conservation of all available feed supplies was ordered
as a preliainary step in the prograa of lifting planting restrictions,
and the unlimited use of "contracted* aad "rented" acreage for the
production of aaergency forage crops and the utilisation of pasture
lands, a discussion of which will follow1In the chapter under "Opera
tion of Conservation Programs •"

ORGANIZATION FOB DROUGHT RELIST
CHAPTER 2.
ORGANIZATION FOR DROUGHT RELIEF
With the necessity for Federal aid a foregone conclusion,
preliminary steps were promptly taken to meet the emergency already
created in limited areas*
Meanwhile a situation was developing that
later called for a more complete organisation and a closer coordination
of efforts to effectively execute extended measures of relief over a
much wider area than had originally been anticipated.
I.
POWER TO ACT.
Fortunately, the most damaging drought on record found the
Government prepared to take care of such an emergency.
She great
adjustment problem in time of drought is to maintain the farmers on
the land, give them the opportunity to get a new start in another year;
or, in other words, to do what can be done to bring farm production in
drought areas in balance with demand, and to supply deficiencies whereever feasible as a means of sustenance for those made destitute*
THE FLEXIBILITY OF EXISTING LEGISLATION PROVIDED IMMEDIATE RELIEF
The Government was ready to act promptly because Congress, under
the President's leadership, had established emergency agencies with
broad powers to meet widely varying conditions*
By the latterpart of
May, drought relief operations were well under way under the direction
of the Agricultural Adjustment, the Farm Credit, and the Emergency
Relief Administration, and units of the Department of Agriculture.
38
39
Under date of June 25, 1934 the Administrator of the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration sent a memorandum to the President
giving a detailed report of the emergency drought situation and appris
ing him of steps that had been taken and other measures recommended for
the relief of stricken areas.
The President immediately appointed the following committee to
represent him in all matters pertaining to the drought;
PRESIDENT'S DROUGHT BELIE*' COMMITTEE
Honorable Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture
Honorable Chester C* Davis, Administrator,
Agricultural Adjustment Administration
Honorable Barry L. Hopkins, Administrator,
Federal Saergency Relief Administration
Honorable William I. Myers, Governor,
Farm Credit Administration
The nature of the emergency required the quick mobilisation of
Federal machinery to provide a means of bridging over and to supply
continuity of income for farmers who had lost all, or nearly all, of
their crops.
Without such effectiveness of operation on the part of
Governmental agencies, chaos soon would have reigned, and riot and
bloodshed would, no doubt, have been written into the history of the
drought as the tragic elementof drought calamity that could have been
avoided.
AUTHORITY GRANTED FOR EXTENDED AID
On June 4, 1934, there was submitted to the President by the
40
members of the President's Drought Committee a letter, stating the
need for funds and authority Id meet the serious situation, and
detailing in supplementary memoranda the proposed method of attack
from the standpoint of each separate agency in meeting the crisis.
The full text of the letter follows:
June 4, 1934.
The President,
The White House.
Dear Mr. President:
Agricultural production in 1934 is seriously threatened by
drought which has continued to increase in intensity and to spread
over a larger area.
The situation has been developing for some months.
It
began to assume alarming aspects in some areas in early Kay.
How
the drought has reached unprecedented intensity in Minnesota, and
Worth and South Dakota, and affects in varying degrees nearly the
entire Great Plains region.
Some of the areas most seriously
affected axe suffering from a cumulative deficiency of soil moisture
running back to 1931.
Ordinary means of adjustment serving the past when drought
affected smaller areas are proving increasingly ineffective because
of the vast region now suffering rainfall shortage.
Old stocks
and now crops of feed both are short and an acute shortags of forage
exists over a large region.
The market which ordinarily would be open for distress cattle
in limited areas now does not exist because prices are so low as not
to pay shipping costs.
No nearby outside areas of abundant forage are now to bo
found, and extensive out-shipments of distress stock are not feasible
without Government help.
In-shipments (f bulk roughage are hampered by the same factors
of expense and distance.
Except for Government assistance in shipping in feed for
41
foundation stock and Government purchase of distress cattle, it might
be said that there would he no place for cattle to go, no way to feed
them, and no way in many regions to salvage even foundation stock
Even with the Government's relief measures, serious maladjustment will
result in the livestock situation, particularly for cattle.
A new record low production of hay and forage for recent years
is inescapable in 1934, and oats and barley production might even
fall short of last year's exceptionally short cropThe corn crop
is not suffering greatly but needs rain quickly.
Production of agricultural products for human consumption is
less seriously threatened.
The 1934 wheat crop seems certain not
to eq(ual a year's requirements, but the carryover is large enough to
meet requirements with some to spare.
Production of white potatoes
on a national basis is not seriously threatened at present.
The
sweet-potato crop is mostly grown outside the drought area.
Commer
cial and shipping vegetables are still expected to at least equal
last year*s production, while that of canning vegetables will
probably exceed considerably last year's short production.
Fruit production apparently will at least equal that of 1933
and be at least 90 per cent average.
Contrasted with the normal value of crops and the farm in
come involved in the drought stricken states the sum involved in
these recommendations is relatively small, particularly since the
drought is likely to affect adversely the farm income in 1935 as
well as 1934.
In the areas already seriously affected in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana,
TJtah and Colorado, there was produced in 1929 farm cash income of
about one and one-half billion dollars.
It Is certain that income
in this area will be very materially reduced.
Further steps are necessary, in addition to regular and
emergency relief operations now under way, to meet this crisis.
The
program should adequately cover the most pressing needs for human
and livestock relief.
Because the drought is progressive, no
accurate forecast of the amount of money required can be made.
She
following program and estimate consisting of six general divisions,
are based on the assumption that the drought will be broken in time
to permit the production of late summer, fall and winter feed within
the area, but not tmtil the area of acute drought has spread.
The total sum Involved is $475,000,000.
The agencies co
operating are the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and other
divisions of the Department of Agriculture, Federal Emergency Relief
42
Administration and. Farm Credit Administration.
The program and the estimates are submitted in the following
divisions, explained in greater detail in the attached memoranda:
1. - $135,000,000 for special work program and human relief.
2. - $ 75,000,000 for addition to funds available under JonesConnally Act for livestock purchase.
3 . - $100,000,000 for shipping, processing and distributing
purchased cattle.
4. - $100,000,000 for emergency feed purchase, loans and
shipments.
5. - $ 50,000,000 for emergency purchase of submarginal farms
and assistance in re-locating farm families.
6 . - $ 25,000,000 for purchase of seed for 1935 plantings, and
for loans to get seed into farmers' hands.
The supplementary memoranda giving additional detail are appended.
Bespectfully yours,
Chester C. Davit,
Administrator,
Agricultural
Adjustment Act.
Harry L. Hopkins,
Administrator,
Federal Emergency
Belief Administration.
William I. Myers,
Governor
Farm Credit
Administration.
While the emergency agencies were swinging their drought
plans into operation, relying upon funds already available under
previous legislation, the President sent a special message to Con
gress asking for the appropriation of funds necessary to carry the
programs to a successful finish.
Congress, cooperating with President and supporting its
own members from the drought regions, voted $525,000,000, to be
allocated to the various agencies cooperating, to assure adequate
I
43
funds for the financing of necessary relief measures >
Thus was set in notion the greatest drought relief prograa
ever undertaken by this or any other country.
II.
XUBRGBNCT MEASURES 10 ALLEVIATE DROUGHT EFFECTS
Temporary emergency measures had been initiated by the several
governmental agencies, until a broad program of relief could be
provided..
Vith a permanent organization in the field, set up by states
and counties, little special organisation was necessary to put emer
gency measures into operation.
Expeditious action could be taken
and effective results obtained, due to the fact that the Government
was already on the ground., and emergency measures could be promptly
modified to take care of an unusual situation.
Thus through state and county units the Government began to
function immediately upon receipt of information from its repre
sentatives in the field, and from others who sent in reports
describing drought calamities and urging prompt action.
DESIGNAl'IOH 01’ DROUGHT AREAS
Xne first steps in drought relief were to accumulate and digest
information about drought areas.
Two classifications of drought areas
by states and counties were adopted as follows:
(l) She areas most
seriously affected were designated as Bnergency Areas, and (2) the
next class was designated as Secondary Drought Areas.
44
la the Secondary counties, planting restrictions in wheat,
corn-hog, cotton, and tobacco adjustment contracts were modified to
permit increased planting of needed forage, and pasturing of
contracted acreage.
In Emergency counties all assistance rendered in Secondary
Areas was offered, and in addition, the purchasing of surplus cattle
was launched where the feed situation was most acute*
The first drought area designation was made on Hay 23, 1934,
and consisted of 121 emergency counties in three states, and 91
secondary counties in six states, based upon recommendations of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics, and the Federal-State Cooperative
Extension Service of the Department of Agriculture.
The progress
of designations, by States, for the first two weeks is shown la
table 5.
STEPS TO COHSZOTE AND INCREASE FEED SUPPLIES
To conserve, Increase, and properly utilize feed supplies in
the face of widespread shortage, three important steps were promptly
taken:
(l) The transfer of land from surplus grain crops, and crops
already adjudged as ruined, to pasturage;
(2 ) The release of com-
tracted and rented acreages, urging farmers to plant every available
acre in forage crops and to conserve all hay and forage; and (3 ) the
facilitation of the movement of feed to animals, and of animals to feed,
through the reduction of freight rates.

Corporation, although not originated as a drought relief measure,
had the effect of holding corn on farms as a reserve, thereby further
enabling farmers to direct thetr attention and resources toward the
procurement of roughage*
SEDUCTION IH DEMAHD BT SUBPLUS REMOVAL OF LIVESTOCK
The emergency program for the surplus removal of livestock
entered early as an important factor in relieving distress.
As the first step in the application of the authority eontained in the Jones**Connally Act, the Emergency Cattle Purchase Pro
gram was instituted*
The primary factor in determining which ani
mals were to be purchased was whether or not water and feed was
available.
The unprecedented speed with which the program was made
effective enabled the owners to sell before the cattle died in the
fields.
Diseased and emaciated animals were immediately condeamed.
All others were donated to the Belief Administration for relief
purposes, and mainly converted to beef for distribution to the desti
tute.
All livestock in excess of the number determined necessary for
subsistence purposes or foundation stock were considered surplus.
REDCCTIOH OF FREIGHT BATES
To facilitate the shipment of livestock from the drought areas
and the shipment of feed into these areas, reductions in freight rates
were sought early in June.
The Iater-Departmental Committee on Trans-
47
portatlon, linking tke several governmental agencies primarily con
cerned with Drought relief, was set up at tke request of the Secretary
of Agriculture to handle this natter with the carriers.
The western railroads, in a splendid spirit of cooperation with
the Government' 3 program, and with the cooperation of a limited number
of railroads in the South, published, effective June 4, 1934, a general
tariff schedule of reduced rates to apply on feeds to he moved into the
drought area, and to apply on livestock to he moved out of the drought
area.
The tariff lm some instances reflected redactions as great as
fifty per cent of the normal rate*
The Interstate Commerce Commission assisted materially in the
matter of granting authority for the prompt publication of the reduced
rates, and through the joint cooperation of the carriers and Govern
mental agencies, immense and substantial benefits were accorded farmers
of the stricken areas during their period of great stress.
Seductions in freight rates on livestock, involving all or parts
of twenty-three states, were extended from time to time to cover the
Emergency Livestock Program.
In like manner, to meet the winter emer
gency, provision was made for reduced rates on hay and other roughages
to June 1, 1935, or until the emergency had passed*
The territory to
which feed rates applied was enlarged from time to time until it
attained a maximum of approximately 1,360 counties In twenty-three
states by the late winter of 1934-35*
When the abnormally dry winter developed into the distressing
dust storms In the "Dust Bowl" daring the spring of 1935, cooperation
of the railroads was again secured with the result that a special
48
basis for reduced rates on distressed livestock to be shipped out of
the states of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Terns was
provided, the outbound movement to be authorised to and including
July 20* 1935, with the privilege of returning the livestock to the
home farm or range to and including June 30, 1936 at 15$ of the usual
rate.
JLn additional measure of assistance has been rendered to all
counties throughout the vast 1934 drought area by the establishment
of return privileges on livestock shipped out of those counties during
the period June 4, 1934 to December 31, 1934.
Return to the home farm
or range is permitted at 15$ of the usual rate providing the stock is
returned not later than June 30, 1936.
The railroads, in cooperation with the United States Department
of Agriculture, have also extended a further measure of assistance in
that effective June 5, 1935 newly established reduced rates on hay and
other roughages into the 131 counties of the "Dust Bowl" area were
provided.
HI.
EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION
CREATION OF DROUGHT RELIEF SERVICE
On May 23, 1934, there was created in the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration the Drought Relief Service to function as a joint
agency of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration.
The Drought Relief Service was created
for the purpose of inaugurating and effecting relief measures in states

V.
REORGANIZATION FOR EXTENDED PROGRAMS Of DROUGHT BELIEF
The emergency organisation stage, involving the first
phases of drought relief operations extended to the middle of August.
By that time it was clearly evident that the effects of the drought
would require adjustments with reference to livestock numbers and the
feed supply over a period of several seasons.
A new and more com
plete organisation was then effected utilizing the existing units
of the Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
52
ministration.
The Chief of The Commodities Purchase Section was desig
nated to co-ordinate the activities of all Bureaus and Sections of
Agriculture cooperating in the administration of drought relief.
COMMODITIES PURCHASE SECTION
This office combined the functions of the former Special
Commodities Section and the former Drought Relief Service.
The Special
Commodities Section was created October 9, 1933 to handle the purchase
of agricultural products under surplus removal programs and to transfer
title to the commodities by donation to the federal Emergency Belief
Administration for distribution among the needy.
The Commodities
Purchase Section continued the operation of surplus removal programs,
and in addition, carried forward drought-relief activities under
direction of the Administrator of the Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration, and the Secretary of Agriculture.
DEPARTMENT OP AGRICULTURE
The organization within the Department of Agriculture, and
the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, consisted of:
1.
The Drought Plans Committee, charged with recommend
ing action to meet drought problems, and obtaining and furnishing
information as a basis for recommendations and decisions of the Presi
dent's Drought Committee.
It allocates to the various divisions con
cerned such duties as are assigned, to the Department of Agriculture*
53
3.
The Area Designation Committee, to obtain and
furnish information on condition of crops and other conditions in
volving the welfare of livestock in the several states, and to
recommend alterations in the officially designated drought areas*
3. Seed Conservation Committee, to obtain and distrib
ute information on available seed supplies and prices in adapted
varieties, and to make recommendations on the acquisition and distribution of seeds.
4.
The Livestock Purchase Committee, to formulate
general policies affecting livestock in special reference to pur
chases, to set daily purchase quotas for states in keeping with
processing and canning facilities, and to regulate total state pur
chase quotas in their relationship to the general program.
&• Food Survey Committee, established to determine
facts on available food supplies, and to recommend steps leading to
the most effective distribution and use of available food*
6. Teed and Forage Committee, to obtain and distrib
ute information on available feed supplies in relation to demands,
and to recommend methods of conserving, assembling, and distributing
feed and forage.

The complete set-up as affected by the new organisation Is
shown in chart 5.
The entire organisation was under the direction of
the President's Drought Relief Coamlttee with a new committee, known
as the Livestock Feed Committee and later changed to the Drought
Co-ordinating Committee, to coordinate the various inter-departmental
functions.
There were but slight changes in the field organisation.
The Inter-Departmental Transportation Committee continued to
function as before*

In keeping with the policies of the idministr&tion, end
actuated by drought emergencies, special organization took Into con

(1) surplus removal, and (2) conservation*
Tbe livestock purchase
program incidentally became a tremendous surplus roaonl program
in connection with drought relief*
I.
BEROSNCY CATTLE FORCHASB PROGRAM
THE APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM
In seeking to institute effective measures of relief to
drought-stricken states, the chief focal points to «hich attention
was drawn called for two definite courses of action: (1) To pat
Into effect imedlate measures looking to the fullest conservation,
increase, and most effective distribution of livestock feeds, and
(2) plans for the adjustment of livestock numbers to the quantities
of feed supplies available to the drought areas, taking into con*
slderatlon sound economy and the highest welfare of the producer*
UTE3T0OT IMPR0VBB5KT PROGRAM ALREADY UNDER WAT
The Jones-Oonnally Amendment to the .Agricultural Adjustment
Act had provided funds for: (1) The rcnoval of diseased cattle*
(2) The payment of benefits* (S) lttrket stabilization or surplus
removal, and {4} the extension of the market for beef and dairy
5*
w
products. Definite plans were being developed to carry out the pro
visions of the Amendment*
According to the proposed drought relief program* the funds
authorised by the Jbnes-Oonnally Act ware to be used for: (1) Payment
of an indemnity on emaciated animals as a part of the disease eradication program, and {£) the purchase of distressed eattlet fit for
food, aa a surplus removal measure*
As the drought developed over a wider area and conditions
became more and sore acute, Machinery devised to serve the beef and
dairy cattle industries and to support the market for those indus
tries over the entire country, had to be supplemented and extended
to neat the cattle crisis in the drought area, until emergency
legislation on a larger scale could be obtained*
fite distribution
and extent of cattle numbers in the United states, according to the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics* estimate on January 1, 1984, is
shown in Chart 6,
COOPERATION OP THE CATIUS INDUSTRY
It has been indicated that prior to the drought the cattle
industry, as well as the Adainistration, and Congress, had given
considerable attention to the problem of surplus eattle production
in the united States*
On April 26, 1984, oattlenen from all over the nation M t in

B*e above committee net In Tfcshington on Iky 9, 1954, and
agreed upon a reduction program for the country at large, but before
60
plans could materialize, the aegnitude and severity of the drought
oade it necessary to immediately institute a program of relief and
remove cattle from the drought area through an extensive estergency
purchase program.
represent ths large coamlttee, the following SubvOomittee
of Five was appointed by the Chief of the Cattle and Sheep section
to renain in Washington indefinitely and cooperate with officials of
the several governmental agencies concerned in working out the
details of the program:
Dolnh Briscoe - At Large
F. F. McArthur - Representing the Cora Belt
T. B. Ifeturt - Representing the Southeast

On Jims 5, 1954, the Chief of the Cattle and Sleep Section
cocmtnicated with each member of the Ooannittee of TfcentyHPive, ax*
plaining fully the duties or part the Oonmittee was expected to
play in the program* All suggestions were carried out by the
Oosdttee, and it was with the full cooperation of the Comalttee
that the rules and regulations of the Boergency cattle Purchase
JS-ogram were developed and carried out*
Bius, with the advent of drought relief operations* a oo-»
operative program designed to improve the cattle industry as a
whole was merged into the drought-ocergency program, and the
general program set aside at least until the consequences of the
drought could nore adequately be determined*
61
The drought soon spread to involve practically all of the
territory vest of the Mississippi Hiver, so that the reduction of
cattle numbers as a mere adjustment Measure became secondary to
the purchase of cattle for the relief of distress*
MA.IOTSNANCE CF SUBSISTENCE HERDS
An abiding phase of drought relief running through all pro*
grams was that of conserving and maintaining for immediate end eon*
timing use adequate numbers of select foundation stock as a means
of snbsistance* n t h the advent of drought operations ample pro
vision bad bean aade for the protection of individual family needs,
as well as the interests of the cattle Industry as a whole*
Upon the basis of the above policy, the Administration pro*
eeeded both with the feed program and the program of surplus re*
moval of livestock*
THE EUBRCKNCY OATTES AGREEMENT
The Baergency Cattle Agreement was the result of most careful
study and forethought on the pert of officials concerned in the
execution of the emergency purchase program*
It was felt that, with
all due regard for the rights of lienholders, in view of such a
calamity stock owners should have a reasonable share of the proceeds
of sales to supply ready cadi for the purchase of feed and other
necessities*
Tanners and rancbmen were, therefore, offered a oontract under
whicfe they would receive not only an ordinary parchase payment la aa*
62
eordanee with an established schedule, but also a contract or agree
ment payment,
Die agreement payment was teamed in the contra*t as
"benefit* payment, end was treated as property of the vendor, free
from liens, or claims of any kind.
Ibis payment waa made possible
by a clause is which the producer agreed to participate in future
adjustment or production control programs in the interest of the
eattle Industry, which may be proffered by the Secretary prior to
Stone 1, 1936*
*%e cattle-buying program got under way promptly, since all
provisions of the Cattle Agreement earns within the scope of the
Jones-Connally, as well as the Baergency Appropriation, Act*

were made was as follows:

On Jtae 6, 1934, Colonel Hiilip 0* Morphy, Associate Director,
Drought Relief Service, Agricultural Adjustment Administration,
addressed the following letter to all Members of the Senate and of
the Souse of Repreeeutatives advising concerning the basis used in
determining the prices to be paid for eattle:
»Bmt you may be advised of the basis used by the Agricultu
ral Adjustment Administration in determining the prices to be paid
for eattle in the Aurgency Qattle program, the following information
is fumiaiied*
62-1
"Bie primary basis was the proMat approximate farm Talus of
tbs eattls as estimated by tbs Bureau of Agricultural Bsonomies of
the Department of Agriculture, taking into consideration the age,
quality, and condition of the animal* Various alassifleations of
eattls were grouped together to permit a simple, easily applied scale*
It was the expectation that the 11restock purchased by the Ctovernmant
in this program would be lov producers end the least useful eattie in
each herd* It hae been and still is the hope of the Administration
that the better grades of cattle can be retained in the hands of the
producers through special financial assistance or other relief measures*
mpon arriving at these prices, and after due consideration
of the purposes of the Jones-Connally let, it appeared desirable to
pay to producers a benefit payment, especially in view of the fact
that all available records indicated that the great majority of
cattle ware mortgaged to such an extent that the producer would re*
ceive vary little or no benefit from the purchase price of the
animals*
"Srery effort has been made to deal in a fair and equitable
meaner as between the Oevenment, the producer, and the lienholder*
The primary consideration has been the benefit to the cattlonen and
the cattle Industry*
”V» are enclosing a copy of Administrative Baling S>« 1, la
which is published the seale of prices.*

FIELD OPERATIONS
All field activities were coordinated by the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, functioning through the Commodities
Purchase section in Vhshington, through which funds for purchases
were made available* Actual purchase operations started on
68
JUne lt 1934, with the following organisations cooperating: (1) The
Agricultural Adjustment Administration, (2) the Agricultural Ertension service, (8) the Barearn of Animal industry, and (4) the Federal
Surplus Relief Corporation*
County Agricultural Agents, or other representatives of State
Directors, served as County Directors of the cattle purchase prograsu
inspectors of the Bureau of
i industry inspected all eattle for
emaciation and disease* and determined whether they were fit for food,
or able to withstand shipment to processing plants*
In addition*
these inspectors attested to the fairness of appraisals, supervised
the disposition of condemned animals, and because of special train
ing and experience rendered other valuable service in bringing the
Rrogram to a successful finish,
Bie Agricultural Extension Service furnished ware of the
field personnel than any other organization*
tte State Director of
Extension in practically every State served as state Director of
Drought Relief Service, and it was through, his office that the pro*
cram was carried on in e&oh state*
Hie County Agent was the direo*
tor of all activities in his county* and therefore h*d direction
over the work of all agencies participating in the program* Be was
responsible for the preparation and transmission of all vouchers
to the Auditor* and through him the checks were forwarded to the
vendor and the lienholder*
These and others — notably the B m m
Demonstration Agent* who supervised the meat processing in canning
plants in many instances —
contributed mnoh to the effectiveness
14
of the program*
d o relief of distressed eattle m i realised by two primary
methods, determined from the standpoint of human needs: (1) The
mowment of stock feed into drought areas, and (2) the purchase
and removal of surplus eattle and calves from the drought arse*
lhe feed program is discussed further along in this report*
n o methods of disposal of purchased animals ware determined
upon by the Department:
(1) 111 animal s unfit for food mare toa>
damned and destroyed at points of purchase, and (2) front the re*
maining number, those over and above select foundation stock
essential to fully or producer’s needs, mere purchased and donated
to the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, authorized agent of the
federal Baergency Relief Administration, for relief distribution*
From the animal a accepted and receipted for by the federal
Surplus Relief Corporation, adequate quantities of meat in the form
of fresh beef or canned beef to take care of local needs mare die-*
tributed through county units of the several State Bacrgeney Relief
Administrations* Relief animals sorth transporting and not allo
cated to state or county relief units mare transported to processing
plants for canning and distribution by the Federal surplus Relief
Corporation in aeoordance vith their usual practice*
Hot ell eattle delivered to the federal Surplus Relief
Corporation mare shipped direct to packing houses for immediate
slaughter* Ifeny mere shipped to central, southern, and eastern
states where pastures bad not been blighted by drought, and placed
65
oa grazing for later disposition; thereby both improving their con
dition for slaughter, and relaxing pressure on packing facilities*
Shipments to all points ware greatly facilitated by the re
duction of freight rates, made effective on Jttne 4, 1934*
Biese
reductions affected the shipment of livestock from the stricken
areas to other points for grazing and slaughter, as well as a vide
range of livestock feeds going Into drought-etri oken areas In
Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, lfentana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, south Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming*
Other areas were included as the drought widened and new emergency
drought counties were designated*

Bte drought took Its heaviest toll during July*
Die rapid
expansion of the drought area, due both to absence of moisture and
Intense heat, oaused an enormous increase in the number of cattle
offered to the Government under its Biergency Cattle Purchase Pro
gram.
By the end of July, most of the western cattle producing
country had been classified in the emergency area, exeept the
western part of Iftmtena and a small strip running down through the
high mountain areas of Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arlsona*
In Missouri and southern Iowa, where conditions ware relatively
favorable the first part of Jtme, continued hot weather and lack
of rainfall during Jtily caused heavy deterioration of the c o m
66
crop, and a serious water shortage in many localities*
The original tentative estimate of eattle purchases,
set on
Ifty 29, 1934, was 50,000 head per week. Ibis number, of course, in*
eluded: (1) Those condemned on the tarns, (2) those assigned to
local relief coauittees for lustedlate relief distribution or canning
through local work relief projects within states of origin, and (3)
the remainder, those shipped by the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation
to processing plants in all sections of the country*
Unforeseen and unexpected proportions in drought development
are reflected in the fact that purchases passed the half«4dlXion
■ark in seven states before July 1, with an average of approximately
200,000 head per week.
in spite of the fact that the drought area almost doubled,
the purchase level of the last half of JUne obtained during the
first half of July, due to limited processing facilities*
increased drought continued to wipe out great quantities of
livestock feed* Cattle were starving for want of feed and water*
Spurred by pressing demands, the number of purchases were mere than
doubled during the second half of July*
m the meantime the State Baergency Belief ^ministration
added new processing facilities through local and state relief
work-proJects, as well as eoamerolal canneries under state inspec
tion; while the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation employed an ia*
creased number of eonmecreial plants for processing under Bureen
67
of Animal Industry inspection#
Because of rapid spread of the
drought, packing facilities were unable to keep in full paee with
purchases, rode necessary by the increased acute feed shortage*
Ibe
solution of the problem was realized through diversion of many
thousands of animals to points outside of affected areas for tempo
rary grazing and subsequent diaposltlon, after pressure had eased
up on packing facilities.

PRIORITY IN PURCHASES RESTRICTED TO MOST DISTRESSED AREAS
Bio general trend of purchases, like that of emergency drought
counties, continued upward*
By the first of August nearly 2,000,000
cattle had been purchased in 19 states, at an average cost of about
$13.54* Approximately 240,000 or 12 percent, had been condemned as
unfit for food, and about 1,750,000 had bean turned over to the
Federal Surplus Belief Corporation for relief purposes*
During the last week in July instructions were issued to .all
state directors that in all eases priority in the purchase of animals
should be given those areas which were in most distressed condition
on account of the drought* This policy was strictly adhered to, and
definite daily purchase quotas by states maintained on a weekly
basis throughout the remainder of the program.
By tiie middle of August* the drought had developed to the

point where its consequences In terms of probable feed supplies
could be estimated within reasonable limits* At this point, the
Department began to develop more definite plans as to the probable
extent of settle purchases as a means of balancing livestock demands
and the feed supply for the coming winter*
It was then apparent
that even if the Government purchased 10,000,000 head of oattle and
ealves, and marketings through commercial channels were in normal
relation to the eattls population, the feed supply per animal unit
would still be veil below normal.
On the other hand, it was re
cognized that a purchase program of this magnitude would not be
desirable, except as a last resort* At a conference with represent
atives of the meat packing industry early in August, officials of
the Administration indicated that an analysis of probable feed
supplies showed that it would be necessary to purchase at least
5,000,000 head of cattle end ealves, in addition to the 8,000,000
head that had been purchased up to that time*
During the month of August there sots considerable rainfall
in the drought-stricken states from Wiraesota and Nebraska south
ward, which improved the pasture situation somewhat, and increased
prospects for production of emergency forage crops.
Bat rain came
too late for corn, and only a partial recovery was possible in the
ease of pasturage and range,
Hie end of August brought the total cattle purchases in 21
states to a little ware than 4,500,000, with more than 500,000
72
fanners benefitting, Approximately 14-1/2 percent of the total heed
purchased bad bean condemned as unfit for food purposes, and the re*
minder delivered to the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation for
usual disposition*
The total drought area had reached 1,164 emer
gency, and 291 secondary, counties in 25 states*
A better understanding of drought conditions may be obtained
by referring to Charts 10 and 11*

only their best animals, which assured better foundation stock for
the future.
Cattle purchases proceeded, therefore, on the selective
bests in a special endeavor to .leave on the farms and ranches a
sufficient number of the choicest animals to meet the need of indi
vidual producers*
The necessity of maintaining breeding stock in important
breeding areas had been fully recognized by the Administration, and
notch effort was expended to keep liquidation in these areas at the
lowest possible level consistent with the feed situation.
lhrough-
out the program, arephasis was placed upon the importance of main
taining foundation herds of good livestock on both farms and ranches*
Beginning early in September, eattle purchases were limited
by state ijuotas of approximately two weeks duration*
Biese purchase
quotas were determined on the basis of the most reliable information
that could be obtained from the field, as to the feed and livestock
situation in view of prevailing drought conditions.
Such information
was obtained through regular and special surveys by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, reports from state directors and other field
representatives and from many outside sources, inoluding a large
number of famsrs end stockmen*
■EXTENT OF CATTLE PURCHASES CAREFULLY DETERMINED
Vith the promise of satisfactory results from feed programs,
then in progress both within and outside of the drought area, and
with a desire on the part of both the Government and the cattle
76
Industry to restrict purchases to the lowest minimum consistent
with existing conditions, it iras desired that actual purchases be
brought to a definite close as soon as the allotted funds, totalling
.$86,000,000 on September 1?, 1934, had been expended*
Controlling factors in the situation, however, could not all
be determined at that tine*
The extent of assistance required to be
rendered by the Government was largely contingent upon weather oondi*
tions end the severity of winter.
The extent to which individual
producers, local coranunity groups, and eonaercial institutions would
be able to meet the situation without Government assistance was still
very problematical*
On September 16, the Livestock Purchase Conmittee adopted the
following policy relative to purchases, pending receipt of additional
inforaatlon from states in which the definite status had not been
determined: (1) Bie suspension of operations in certain states as
of September 19, or as soon thereafter as allotted funds were ex
hausted, pending a check up on remaining funds and the number of
eattle actually purchased; (2) stopping of purchases in those states
in which final quotas lad been set by the Oomnittee; and (3)
con
tinuation of purchases in states whose unexpended allotment were
sufficient to Insure that over-purchases would not be made*
The following amounts had been authorized for cattle purchases
to and including September 12, 1934, with recomendation for an
additional $10,000,000 from the Jones-Connally Fund:

THE MAJOR CATTLE FORCHASE PROGRAM BROUGHT TO A GLOSS
The drought area, was extended hut slightly after September 1.
fixe last drought counties were certified on Oetober 34, bringing the
total on that date to 1187 "emergency* and S70 "secondary" counties,
or a total of 1457 drought counties in 25 states*
In addition to
that number, and as a pert of the Bnergency Cattle Buying program,
7 flood counties in Florida ware designated as a part of the stricken
areas early In July and received the same advantages as the emergency
drought counties.
Following a complete check of purchases and the status of
conditions in all states, the final ellotraent from the Jbnes*
Oonrally Fund, in the sum of *8,000,000, was made on October IS.
Ibis allotment, intended to definitely end cattle buying, brought
the total for cattle purchases to $104,000,000.
States in which emergency was greatest at that time ware:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Mantana, Nebraska, Nevada,
78
!few Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota* 'Texas, TTtah, and looming. No
additional purchases w r e recommended for:
Louisiana, Missouri, end North Dakota*
Illinois, Iowa,
Other states, under further
investigation, in Tjhich the full status of conditions had not been
undetermined, were: .Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and
Wisconsin.
Purchases had declined ?p.pidly from a maxtirnim weekly total
of about 675,000 bead during the week ending September 8 to approxi
mately 205,000 for the week of October 6« After a slight increase
during the succeeding week, purchases were regulated on the basis
of gradual decline*

Cattle, sheep and goat purchases were extended to February 1,

states that had not completed their programs* An additional allot*
rqent for cattle purchases was made on December 5, 1934, and a re
allocation of funds among the states was made on Jtauary 7*
All livestock purchases were definitely closed on February 1*

CATTLE TO INDIANS
Representatives of the purebred cattle breeders’ associations
applied for help for such breeders as were unable to secure feed and
water*
in order to preserve the maximum number of well-bred animals and
to prevent the disappearance of some of the best stock, it was decided
to allot a portion of the Bnergency funds for the purchase of such cattle*
At the same time the Indian service desired to improve the breeding of
the cattle on reservations*
For this purpose the sura of $800,000 was made available by the
transfer to the Department of Interior, to be assigned to the Indian
Service, of a portion of funds allocated to the secretary of Agriculture
by Executive Order dated JUne 25, 1984, "for the purehe.se, sale, gift or
other disposition of seed, feed and livestock, and the transportation
thereof*"
There is presented in Table 5-A on the next page, ft resume of the
results of the purebred cattle-buying program carried on by the Bureau
of the Indian Service, Department of Interior,
Listed In the total
purchases are 71 registered calves (65 Hereford, 1 Angus, and 5 &ort»

11
Hereford
and S Shorthorn, not Included in Table 5»A, were
born after purchase* 12 steers, not registered, were purchased, in
Wyoming, making a total of 15,425 head acquired, at an average cost
of $45*54 per head for animals actually paid for*
Oils program was supplemented by delivery of selected cattle to
the Indians by the Federal Surplus Belief Corporation from cattle
purchased in the Saargency Program by the Secretary of Agriculture*

II* THE EMEROENCT SSHKES^BOTING PROGRAM
Bie progress of the drought into the range areas oeeupled by both
abaep and goats as well as cattle made it inconsistent not to offer a
purchase program to the owners of the smaller oMnati« if livestock units
•ere to be reduced in keeping with carrying capacity of the range.
Accordingly, during the first part of September, sheep and goat
producers in deficient feed areas ware offered an agreement,
to the cattle agreement, under which they could be relieved of excess
numbers*
the sheep and goat buying program got under way early in September*
As In the case of cattle, purchases ware confined to ansrgency drought
counties, and preference given to those producers *ho did not hare suffi
cient feed supplies to carry them through the winter*
Special efforts
ware made to leave on the farms and ranches as many animals as the indivi
dual producer could maintain on the feed supply at his cosnand*
Only fa*
male animals one year old and over were purchased, and payments were $2*00
each for sheep and fl*40 each far Angara goats, divided equally in each
case between a "service and disposition" payment and a "purchase" payment*
the former payment, as In the ease of the cattle "benefit* payment, m s
not subject to liens*
Purchase and disposition of sheep and goats were handled along the
same general lines as In the cattle—buying program* All animals fit for
iMMtn food ware donated to the Federal Surplus Relief corporation for
relief purposes to be handled in accordance with their usual method of
procedure*
Condemned animals were iaatroyed at points of purchase.
progress of purchases, by weeks and months, may be noted by
referring to Cfeart 18 and TfcttLe 11.

CHAPTER k
OPERATION OF GOHSERTiXZOB PROGRAMS
9U
CHAPTOP
OPERATION 01 OOHS2H7ATIOU FBOGBAMS
To conserve and Increase feed stqiplles and to offer protection
to foundation herds, conservation measures were adopted early in the
drought program.
The two principal phases of conservation were: (1}
seed conservation, and (2) the conservation of feed supplies.
I.
SEED OOBSEHV1TION FHDGBAM
Che drafters of Drought Belief legislation anticipated the
damage that might result to agriculture by leaving many farmers with
no alternative hut to draw upon their stocks of select seed to meet the
deficient feed emergency*
Care had been exercised in developing over
a long period of time valuable adapted grain varieties.
To protect
this very important phase of agriculture, the Seed Conservation
Committee set out to determine the areas actually In danger of losing
preferred varieties, before proceeding with a systematic survey of seed
deficiencies, and the procurement of seed to be retained for the next
planting season.
Under the supervision of the Bureau, of Plant Industry, through
a special Seed Stocks Conmittee, the survey of seed needs and the
sources of supply was successfully accomplished.
Actual purchase,
storage* cleaning and distribution became the function of the Commodities
Purchase Section under the immediate direction of a Procurement Unit*
95
The purchase of Bpring wheat, durum wheat, malting barley, feed
barley, oats and flax started on August 8. Purchases were made after
Inspection and acceptance of santples submitted by owners or their
authorised agents.
The first purchases ware based upon daily quotas
tlons of the Minneapolis market, field headquarters of the Seed Pro
curement Unit, plus a premium of a few cents per bushel as a special
inducement to owners to release their seed stocks to the Government
rather than to dispose of them through regular channels.
Later it
became necessary to let the market quotations at the point of purchase
determine the price to be paid in each case.
As a regular procedure the purchased grain was placed in store
in Country elevators, or at large urban concentration points within or
as near aa possible to the drought-stricken areas as would permit easy
shipment when needed.
The purchase phase of the seed procurement pro*
gram nearing completion by the last of September, attention was directed
to the cleaning and processing of all grain acquired for seed purposes.
Cleaning was accomplished at storage points by means of suitable,
processing machinery*
Prior to January 1, 1935. the selling price of conserved seed
grain represented the purchase price, plus the estimated cost of storage*
cleaning and handling, and the estimated cost of delivery to points of
destination.
After January 1, the price of each coamodity was increased
monthly by the cost of storage.
It was considered the best policy to dispose of the seed by aale
only.
Hence it was contemplated that tbs major portion of the disburse
ments made for seed grain would be returned to tbs Government upon the
96
consummation of the distribution phase of the Seed Conservation Program.
Any losses to the Government would be attributed to the emergency nature
of the operation.
COBH OPTIOH-PURCHASE
Another measure designed to protect seed supplies was the optional
purchase of between 300,000 and 1,000,000 bushels of seed quality com In
J
states where it was Indicated that the supplies of 1933 sealed corn
suitable for seed night be threatened by the demand for feed.
Loans of 55^ P«r bushel had already been made by Commodity Credit
Corporation to farmers in several Corn Belt States within the drought area.
Provision was made for an additional advance of
per bushel,
as an option*purchase payment, which would hold this corn for sale to the
Government until May 1, 1935*
this manner the Government would
maintain a reserve supply, the purchase of which could be completed If
needed.
This reserve could be drawn upon for needy farmers, or held
to supply emergency replanting needs, resulting from continued adverse
climatic conditions*
Such corn would have to pass Government Inspection and be held
under favorable storage conditions to be eligible for the option-purchase.
Seed purchases by States will be found in Appendix A, Exhibit 2*
97
II.
THE R I D OOHSIBYATION PBOGBAM
The solution of the food problem was approached from two
angles.
While the orderly redaction in animal numbers was being
carried out, steps were in progress to increase and properly
distribute feed sqsplles.
Indication of a feed shortage as the result of drought and
other conditions first became apparent in forage and pasture crops.
It was then that the Administration began to institute measures
to encourage the planting of such crops as might produce the
maximum of livestock feed, In spite of unfavorabls conditions.
ADJUSnmitS AID THE 00HSZR7ATI0N 07 X B D SUPPLIES.
One of the main points of attack upon the drought problem
was the encouragement of Increased planting of emergency forage
crops*
To this end, provisions of the adjustment contracts were
modified, both those applying to the lands rented by the Secretary
of Agriculture and those applying to other lands cultivated by
contract signers*
On Kay 19, 193^t a ruling was announced to clear the way
for emergency seeding of feed crops.
Under this ruling, restrictions
on farms under corn and tobacco contracts in the officially desig
nated drought area were modified to permit planting. In excess
of the acreage permitted under each contract, of corn for roughage
purposes only, and of forage crops for pasture or hay only.
She
modification did not apply to definitely "contracted* or "rented"
9*
acres which farmers had agreed to leave out of basic crop pro
duction.
Neither did It apply to wheat contracts, as Increases
In forage crop planting under the wheat contract could be
without special ruling.
this ruling was shortly followed by two other rulings on
Hay 26 , opening the way to pasturing livestock In the officially
designated drought areas on acres contracted under the corn-hog
and wheat contracts planted to pasture crops, regardless of
whether or not such pasture crops were planted with a nurse crop.
She ruling extended the pasture privilege to July 1, 193^» only,
but was later extended to include the remainder of the crop year.
On Hay 29 the Administration, observing the continued
growth of the drought situation, took further steps to encourage
the pleating of emergency forage crops, by modifying all wheat,
cora-hog, and tobacco contracts to the extent of removing the
restrictions on planting and harvesting of all forage crops. Includ
ing corn fodder and grain sorghums.
Zhls ruling applied to all
general or "noi^contracted* acres on farms under adjustment con*
tracts all over the United States.
At the same time, the limits
on the use of contracted acres were broadened to allow the planting
and harvesting of all forage crops, except c o m and grain sor
ghums, and to make possible the pasturing of contracted acres
and the harvesting of hay for forage from such acres.
Under
this ruling corn, for fodder, sould be planted immediately on
99
noa-contracted acres for forage purposes In all counties in the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Montana, and Wyoming.
On June 23, an interpretation of the ruling of May 29 was
issued, allowing the harvesting of all seeds, except soybeans, cow
peas, peanuts, and sorghums, from pasture and. meadow crops grown
on contracted acres under the wheat, cora-hog, or tohacco contracts.
Biis Interpretation was made in view of the reduced supplies of
seed, and the unfavorable condition of pasture and meadow crops
for the season*s harvest.
On June 30, one week later, further modification of the
above ruling was made to permit planting of c o m and grain sox*grams, for roughage purposes only on contracted, acres*
Aagust 2, 193^ the cotton contract was modified, to permit
planting, pasturing, and harvesting of pasture, hay, and roughage
crops for unrestricted use for livestock feed and for sale for
livestock feed; and the harvesting on rented, acres of the seed
of soybeans, cow peas, forage sorghums, millet and Sudan grass,
and meadow and pasture crops such as alfalfa, lespedesa, sweet
clover and other clovers, and grasses such as orchard grass,
Dallis grass, rescue grass, carpet grass and similar grasses
and legumes for use or sale as feed.
Conwhog, wheat and tobacco contracts were also modified
to permit harvesting in I93U on rented acres of the seed of soy
beans, cow peas, forage sorghums, millet, and 8ud*n grass, and
100
■tadam and pasture crops such as alfalfa, lespedesa, sweet clover
and othar clovers, and grasses such as orchard grass, Dallis grass,
rescue grass, carpet graas and similar grasses and legumes for use
or aale as seed.
September 13, 193^ a new ruling was put into effect to permit
the utilisation of contracted acreage under wheat allotment contract
for the seeding of pasture and hay crops for pasture and/or seed,
and the seeding of emergency forage crops for hay, pasture or roughage
only, with certain restrictions.
ESTABLISHMENT 07 THE RBERAL LIVESTOCK TEES AGENCY
Vith available feed supplies drastically reduced, the Govern
ment had several courses of action open!
first, to encourage
conservation and the most efficient utilisation of all feed avail
able.
Second, to locate regional surpluses which might exist, and
to facilitate the widest possible distribution of such feeds in
deficient areas.
Ehird, to provide credit facilities for farmers
with which *e purchase feeds, in cases where conasrcial credit was
not available; and In the case of producers without credit stands
ing, to provide funds for the purchase of feed to maintain sub»
sistence livestock.
fhe first and second divisions of the problem fall within
the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture and the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration.
She provision of credit was
the responsibility of the Tfcrm Credit Administration.
She
101
federal Emergency Belief .Administration provided foods for feed
to producers who were reduced to a relief status.
Through the establishment of the Federal Livestock Feed
Agency In Kansas City during the month of August, plans were
completed for close cooperation between the Government and the
livestock feed trade to assure, insofar as possible, an adequate
supply of feed at equitable prices in the drought areas*
Briefly,
the plan provides that drought counties needing feeds of any kind
consolidate all requirements and then notify the Federal Livestock
Feed Agency, set up in Kansas City, of the nature and quantities
of feeds required.
At the same time, the feed agency was making
a compilation from the Government surveys and reports from trade
sources on supplies of feed available in surplus areas, the quan
tities of such feeds on hand, and the most reasonable delivered
price.
She agency functioned as a clearing house to supply ii>*
qulring counties with information on the best source of supply
for their particular need, taking into consideration quantity,
price, location, and kinds of feed needed*
The counties were thus
enabled to place consolidated orders covering all county needs,
and dealers in the indicated market to ship such orders direct to
the counties, consigned to local dealers.
A careful survey made after the removed of the forage
restrictions, Indicated that 88.6 per cent of the contracted
acres covered by cotton, wheat, corn-hog, and tobacco contracts

were used for production of forage, and that less than U per cent
of the land was Idle*
While the drought seriously affected new
seedlings of pasture and meadow crops In the Corn Belt States and
States within the drought area, the contract modifications peiw
•itted and encouraged the growing of forage crops and the use of
pasture on contracted acres.
Zhe modifications resulted in the
production of over lU million tons of hay and roughage on contracted acres.
This supply assisted to no small extent in alleviating
the deficiency in roughage covered by the drought.
As a consequence of the encouragement given the planting
of hay and the seeding of pasture, it Is estimated that 2,1409,000
tons of the hay and forage prodnced on contracted acres represent
a gain over what would otherwise have been harvested.
▲t the same time, the supplies of grain, hay and pasture,
per unit of consuming animal, were increased approximately 6 per
cent for grain, and 17 per cent for hay and pasture above what
would have been the ease
there been no downward adjustment in
hog, cattle, and sheep numbers as a result of the adjustment pro
grams.
(See Chart 20)
CATTLI TBM8TKR UNIT
With the establishment of the federal Livestock Teed igency
at Kansas City it became possible to make an eshaustlve survey of
feed supplies throughout the nation,
fbe result of this survey
disclosed that there was considerable feed available in many places
105
and a shortage of locally owned livestock to consume it.
In
contrast to this it was known that there were many herds of good
livestock located throughout the drought area which the owners
would not wish to dispose of but for which it would be very diffi
cult to procure feed locally.
In order to facilitate connecting
the man with feed and no livestock with the livestock owner who
had no feed, the Cattle transfer Unit was established with head
quarters at Kansas City, Missouri.
Hr. Harry Seed of the Bureau
of Agricultural Xconomlcs and Hr. James Wallace, Extension Specialist
lit Livestock Marketing, handled this unit.
It functioned during
November and December and Into the month of Januaxy, 1935*
A
splendid service was rendered througi It and many people were enabled
to locate places where they might ship their livestock to be wintered
on a reasonable basis.
In some instances animals were to be fed on
such harvested crops as fodder, ensilage, straw and hay.
In others
they were to be graced upon fall seeded grains which had made a
wonderful growth in those parts of the 193^ drought area which had
received copious fall rains.
Bte activities of this unit produced
many favorable comments and resulted in constructive help to the
livestock Industry.
At the time the unit was closed In January It
was thought that activities along the lines of moving livestock were
completed.
However, In late April when it became evident that
pasture would not be available in the "Cost Bowl* area and such
contiguous territory as remained dry, the Cattle Transfer Unit was
106
reestablished as part of the Federal Livestock Teed Agency at
Kansas City and under the guidance of Ur. E« 0. Pollock, a list
of available pastures was assembled.
Likewise a list of men who
were forced to pat their cattle on pasture*
Quite a few took
advantage of the facilities mads available and undoubtedly much
good was done.
Abundant rain through part of the dry area in late
Hay and early June resulted in a cassation of activities along the
line of eattle movement to pasture*
00HN STOVER CONSERVATION PBOGBAll
Early in September the Agricultural Adjustment Administration
announced plans for the conservation of com fodder and corn stover,
as a part of its program for making available to livestock feeders
in the drought area a large supply of roughage which under normal
conditions would not have been harvested,
fhlle the feeding value
of this material has long been recognised, it has been the practice
in the states of the corn belt to turn the stock in the stalk fields,
let them eat what they could, and burn or plow under what was left.
As an inducement to farmers in this area to harvest, cure,
bale and prepare this material for market the Administration
guaranteed a market for those farmers who agreed to the terra which
were offered*
The announcement of the plan on September 8, 193^»
established grades for corn fodder and corn stover and fixed the
prices which were considered reasonable both to the producer and
the ultimate purchaser.
Allotments of quotas were Bade to the
107
States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota, and con
tracts were entered into with individual fanners, through the
County Agents.
Under tills contract the Government made no purchases, but
offered its facilities for the sale of this material, with the
guarantee that the portion remaining unsold on Jkpril 1 , 1935 would
be taken over and paid for at the prices specified for the material
as graded.
The closing date for signing contracts was fixed as
Vovember 10 , 193I*.
▲
regional office was established at Waterloo, Iowa, for the
purpose of assisting the County Brought Directors and farmers in
accomplishing the aims of the program, and extensive educational
work was carried on through the Xxtenslon Service to induce farmers
in all sections to save fodder and stover for home feeding and
release the hay and high grade roughage for shipment to the drought
area.
As a result of this program It is conservatively estimated
that more than one million acres of corn fodder and stover were
harvested and the resulting product made available for feed.
Much
of this material was fed on the farms where produced and a large
volume of hay released for shipment to the drought area.
Many
farmers who harvested their corn fodder expecting to sign contracts
with the Government found a ready sale, and in some sections
favorably located with reference to movement of cattle, large numbers
108
of eattlo from the drought area were brought In and fed upon this
rougxage.
It ie estimated that 1,200,000 tons of fodder and stover
were harvested and made available as feed.
Of this amount only
shout 100,000 tons were offered for the Government guarantee.
The records of the Corn-fodder stover program as of July 15*
1935, indicate that the entire tonnage under Government contract
had been disposed of either by cancellation or sale.
She amounts contracted for in the several states are as

In a farther effort to stimulate the mailnrum conservation
of livestock forage a plan was perfected whereby the crop of soy
beans growing in the State of Illinois might be cut for hay and
growers be assured of an established market.
This plan was dfr*
veloped through the agency of the Illinois Agricultural Associa
tion.
Die plan called for the hay to be delivered during the winter
and payment for the same to be made on a basis of United States
grades, the grading to be done by graders trained by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics.
Prices on the hay were to range from $12*50
to $15*00 per ton, f.o.b. car.
Approximately thirty thousand tons
of hay was salvaged under this program.
Had It not been for the
stimulation given to conserve this hay, the crop would undoubtedly
have been permitted to ripen and would have been harvested for the
beans, as these gave prospect of bringing a very good price*
This soy bean hay filled a most useful niche in the drought
area.
She Nebraska Belief Commission took a large amount, ground
it and mixed with black strap molasses for distribution throughout
the state.
This feed contained "JOft ground hay and
molasses and
made a splendid addition to the ration of the impoverished animals
in that state.
The Missouri Belief Oomnlsslon took a large amount
of the soy bean hay for use as a component in a mixture containing
a considerable portion of ground corn fodder which had been salvaged
by that organisation from the wrecked corn crop In Missouri*

soy 'bean hay improred. the mixture, increased the protein and proved
to be a very useful adjunct. Incidentally, when spring rains made
it obvious that Missouri would not need all of the feed which it
was in position to manufacture, considerable quantities were distri
buted in the 1935 drought area. Most of this feed was known as a
horse and mole mixture and contained 20$ ground soy bean hay. It
was used very extensively in the states of Kansas, Colorado, Texas,
and Oklahoma.
A1JBNCT TOR DEFICIENCY DISTRIBUTION
Under an executive order issued by the President, it was
possible to bring feed stuffs into the United States duty-free
in order to help farmers in the drought area conserve their live*
stock* During the early winter it became obvious that there would
be a serious shortage of roughage In the states of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and Worth and South Dakota; furthermore, the only sources
of rougiage in the United States were located at great distances from
this area* In order to help procure feed for the people of this area,
it was decided to establish at Minneapolis the Agency for Deficiency
Distribution. This organization had as its chief function the locat*
tion of and contracting for supplies of hay and straw In Canada at
points reasonably close to the border; likewise, the distribution of
this feed to dealers and other agencies equipped to handle it in the
four states mentioned above. A considerable quantity of wheat straw,
oat straw, oat hay, alfalfa hay, and coarse hays of various kinds

were handled through this agency,
A constant set of prices
was used during the activities of this organisation.
Reduced
rates were granted by Canadian and United States railroads
which permitted the handling of this roughage on a reasonable
basis,
these rates were practically equal to the concessions
granted by the United States railroad for handling feed on Inter
state basis.
THE MOLASSES PROGRAM
One of the efforts to assist in providing emergency feeds
in the drought area was the consideration of the use of molasses
or syrup from the surplus cane in Puerto Rico and the Philippines.
It was at first proposed that the Government arrange for
the processing of the surplus cane and contract for the movement
and distribution of the resulting syrup or molasses into the
drought area and arrange for the complete handling through trade
distribution channels under Government control.
It was finally determined that the most effective way to
provide a sufficient quantity of molasses for feed in the drought
area at the least possible expense would be by accepting an Informal
agreement with the Comnercial Molasses Corporation that they make
available for distribution as livestock feed In the drought area
xqp to 15,000,000 gallons at a price of 74 cents gulf coast ports and 6
cents Pacific coast ports.
As a result of these arrangements and
cooperation of other molasses handlers in the governmental program
of education with regard to use of molasses for feed, it is estimated

that nearly 22,000,000 gallons of molasses went Into the drou^it
area between January 1935 and June 1935* It is estimated that
at least 10,000,000 gallons were directly attributable to governmental programs and that the use of this molasses In connection
with roughage which might not otherwise have been usable added
a considerable quantity to the emergency feed supplies required
in the drought area during these months.
Molasses being practically equal to corn as a livestock
feed, it was deemed wise to call the attention of farmers in
the drought stricken areas to the practicability of using it as
a conserver of grain. Vith the production of feed grains in
the United States the lowest in many years and in the drought
area the lowest since records have been kept, the encouraging
of the use of molasses seemed doubly justifiable.
The sack of mixed feed manufactured by the Missouri Belief
Commission depicted In Chart 21 contains in addition to low grade
roughage, 1(0 per cent black strap molasses. Bie Missouri Belief
Commission used a large quantity of this product in its forage
and feed conservation programs.
BUBAL BXHABILITATIOI COBFOBAIZOV
In the fall of 193* It became obvious it would be advisable
for State and federal Agencies to supplement already existing
facilities for feed distribution. The Bural Bahabilltatlon Coxp*
oration cooperated with the Department of Agriculture in
Ilk
its facilities available for tills purpose. This Corporation had
clients for whom it was obligated to supply feed In places where
there were not sufficient facilities or where those who handled
feed through usual channels were unable to keep stocks on hand,
lbs Rural Rehabilitation Corporation honored orders from farmers
who ware benefittlng from the emergency feed loans and in some
instances from others who were unable to procure feed. Activities
along this line did not reach a momentous scale until late in the
spring of 1935 when in the "Dust Bowl" area It became obvious that
dsalers were hesitant to keep stocked on high priced roughage and
were having difficulty locating the same. Torthermore credit
facilities were taxed to the limit and it seemed best to develop
a plan whereby all farmers in the affected area might be assured
of a supply of feed at reasonable prices until the acute emergency
resulting from the protraction of the drought through the winter
and spring had been overcome. Arrangements were made with State
Belief Administrators whereby feed was consigned to County Belief
Administrators and they in turn honored not only the request of
their clients but likewise those of farmers receiving emergency
feed loans and others who had obtained certificates from County
Agricultural Agents stating that they were owners of breeding herds
of livestock and entitled to procure feed to help carry them througi
the emergency*
CHAPTER 5
FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMS
CHAPTER 5.
7ARM CREDIT ADUIMISTjRAIIOH PROGRAMS
June 19, 1934, the President approved, the Emergency Appropria
tion Act.
The sane day the Governor of the T a m Credit Adainistrfr-
tion issued, regulations governing loans in drought-stricken areas by
the Ssergency Crop and Teed. Loan Section of the Farm Credit Admin
istration.
These regulations provided, for loans for the purchase of feed,
for livestock and for the production of forage crops*
A copy of
these regulations appears as appendix D, exhibit 4.
The Governor designated, the stricken areas in which loans might
be made on the basis of recommendations from the Department of Agri
culture.
The following limitations governed these emergency loans:
(a) Approval of muriber of animals to be fed*
(b) A per capita monthly maximum for each type of livestock.
(e) Livestock most have been owned prior to April 2, 1934.
(d)
Good faith in the use of the funds.
(e) Ho encumbrance to be placed on livestock, feed or crops
without the consent of the Governor*
If) Livestock must be in drought-designated areas*
(g) Nondisturbance agreement from lienholders agreeing to
take no steps to enforce payment of their liens before
January 1, 1936 except with the consent of the Governor
of the Farm Credit Administration.
(h) Loans to be available only to applicants without neces
sary feed and without credit to procure feed.
115

(l)
Loans to be aade in monthly installment* on the basis
of actual requirements.
(k)
Loans for production of forage crops not to exceed
$1.00 per acre.
(1)
No loans for commercial or contract feeding or fattening*
(a)
No loans where first month's requirements total less
than $35.00*
(Loans less than $25.00 for first month
were to be aade by relief administration agencies*)
▲
copy of the application required and of the note executed by
the borrowers are included as exhibit 4, appendix D*

July 28, 1934, loans were limited to cattle one to eight years
old; sheep one to six years; goats one to six years; hogs limited to
brood sows, boars and gilts.
Allowances for pack saddle horses were
added at $2.00 per month each.
August 1, 1934, provision was made for loans to paj actual cost
of transportation, water and feed for movement of livestock to new
116*2
pasture or range, either within or without designated areas*
Pro-
▼ision was also aade for permitting rental of pasture and range.
Ingast 9, it was announced that no applications for loans for
production of forage crops would be accepted after September 15, 1934.
This date was subsequently changed to October 15, 1934*
August 17, 1934, it was provided that proceeds of loans might
be used for payings actual cost of preparing feed for storage or con
sumption on the borrower*s farm or range.
August 31, 1934, proceeds of loans were made available for pur
chase of reserve feed supplies required for 60 days in addition to
current requirements.
then loans for reserve feed supplies were made,
no supplemental loan was to be made for the months of February and
March, 1935.
This applied to areas where winter weather conditions
would prevent transportation of feed to feed locations.
Such loans
were made with a lien upon the feed and upon the livestock.
It was
required that such reserve feed could not be sold or otherwise dis
posed of except by feeding to the borrower* s livestock without written
consent of the Governor*
In order to assist in maintaining pure-bred livestock, the
restriction as to ownership prior to April 2 was modified October 9
to permit loans to owners of
such stock kept for breeding purposes
when such stock had been acquired after April 1, 1934 froa other
owners who had owned the animals as of April 1, 1934 and when the
animals had been kept within the drought areas.
115-3
Because of the exhaustion of pastures and ranges and the snail
amount of feed available to many producers, the maximum allowance
per month for cattle on farma was raised to $4.50, and range eattle
were increased to a maximum of $3.00 per head a month, as of
January 5 and 11, 1935.
The monthly allowance per head of work
animals was increased to $6.00, as of January 5 and 11, 1935; to
$8.00, as of January 26, 1935; and to $10*00, as of May 1, 1935.
January 26, 1935, farther modifications of the loan provisions were
made providing loans on 1934 awe lanibs to a maximum of $0.50 each
farm or range; on 1934 heifer calves $3.00 farm, $1.50 range; on
1934 female kids $0.35 farm and range.
Tables showing the number
of head of each type of livestock on which the loans were made in
each state are included in this report, together with summary tables
and tables showing the total amounts of money loaned in each state
from the funds provided by the Bsergency Appropriation Act for the
fiscal year 1935.
These amounts include not only the total of loans
made for maintenance of livestock but also the total amounts loaned
in varioua states under the general authority of the aet for relief
in stricken agricultural areas*
The other programs for which funds
were loaned by the Tarm Credit Administration from this appropria
tion are set forth in the paragraphs following the tables of figures
appearing on the succeeding pages.

July 28, 1934, a total of $2,451,572.00 had been loaned to 26,301
farmers.
By September 1, 1934 a total of $8,543,851 had been loaned
on 114,285 initial and supplemental applications to 95,898 producers
of livestock.
The need for this type of assistance became increas
ingly apparent, and loans made in the winter feeding months reflected
the great shortage of feed on the fame and ranges.
This situation
is shown both by the increased total of loans made in these months
and in the increased average per borrower.
Between Yebroary 2 and
March 2 the largest amount was loaned for a one-month period, the
total was $9,943,902.00.
The average loan per borrower July 28, 1934
was $93*21; March 2, 1935, this amount was $186.55 and June 30, 1935
it was $239.54.
Details of disbursements and collections will be
found in appendix exhibits, pages 190-2 to 190-5 inclusive.

The basis of the loan was similar to the requirements as provided for
other crops and required a first lien on the crops grown daring 1935
and 1936.
A provision that loans would be made to growers of straw
berries for commercial marketing and that the growers must have at
least 2j acres available for planting in 1935, was amended January 30,
1935 by reducing the minimum acreage required as available for plant
ing in 1935 to 1 acre.

THE 1935 DROUGHT
CHAPTER 9
THB 1935 DROUGHT
la the late fall of 1934 rather generous rainfall was re
ceived in many parts of the drought area.
This was especially
true oa the western coast and along the eastern part of the
drought area.
The states of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas,
being very well covered with moisture and the eastern parts of
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska likewise received copious rains.
This left a dry strip extending from the Mexican border on the south
to the Canadian border on the North and from the 95th meridian oa
the last to the Rocky Mountains on the Test*
This strip remained
dry throughout the winter of 1934-35 and the south end of it until
late in the spring of 1935.
March and April brought abundant rain
fall to the Dakotas, Eastern Montana, Wyoming and most of Nebraska.
Upon May 1 an area embodying that part of the states of Colorado
and New Mexico lying east of the Rocky Mountains, together with
the western third of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas and certain south
western counties in the state of Nebraska was very dry.
The
center of the driest area was frequently alluded to as the Ndust
bowl" and constituted parts of the states of Texas, New Mexico,
Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, centering at the junction of these
states.
Abnormally high winds throughout the spring carried large
quantities of dust over this area and resulted in a terrific wind
119
120
erosion.
While this comparatively limited area remained dry
during the spring months, the balance of the 1934 drought area,
received copious rains.
In fact, in many sections rains were so
heavy that floods and water submergence were common -in other
words, one extreme followed the other.
The 1934 drought area, designation was permitted to stand
until June 1.
At this time the drought Area Designation Committee
consisting of Dr. C. W. Varburton, Ur. W. P. Callander and Dr.
A. V. Killer, removed all old designations and set up as the
official 1935 drought area a total of 131 counties in the 6 states
of Texas, Hew Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado aad Nebraska.
Bains during June materially inproved the situation in the central
part of the Texas Panhandle, in central western Kansas, south
Nebraska and east central Colorado.
Consequently the Committee
made plans to withdraw certain counties in these areas from the
drought sone.
Because of the scarcity of feed in this section and the
failure of pastures to be ready at the usual date, it became
imperative in April for assistance to be rendered to the livestock
men in order that their animals might be kept alive*
The reserves
of feed and fodder conserved under the federal Peed Conservation
Program were shipped into the area and distributed through the
Rural Rehabilitation Corporations to livestock owners who were
out of feed and experiencing difficulty in procuring feed or
121
credit vith vhich to make feed purchases.
A total of 2,400 car
loads of feed was sent into this drought area daring the months
of April, Hay and June.
This included large amounts of corn
fodder, straw, mixed feed including ground soy bean hay, ground
corn fodder and molasses, three items which had been conserved
under the federal program to help get the livestock of the drought
area through the critical period following the 1934 drought.
Bat
for this feed being available it is entirely possible that live
stock losses in the 1935 drought area would have been materially
greater.
The entire 1935 drought area of 139 counties in six states is
shown on Chart 21-A, dated June 3, 1935 at which time seven new
drought counties were added, with the exception of El Faso County,
Texas, which was designated on July 1.
Cheyenne, Decatur, Lincoln,
Morton, and Bawling Counties, Kansas, and Culberson and Hudspeth
Counties, Texas, were designated June 3.
designated on Kay 18, 1935.
All other counties were
Thirty-five counties were cancelled
on July 1, leaving the present total of 84 counties in effect.
A complete list of 1935 drought counties is shown on the
next page.

CHAPTER 10
RESULTS OF THE PROGRAMS
CHAPTER 10
RESULTS OF PROGRAMS
A preliminary survey of the results of the Government's
assistance to stricken agricultural areas indicates, from many
angles, decided progress.
A summary of the most evident immediate benefits accruing
to fanners and others in the drought area follows:
Improvement of foundation herds while bringing cattle num
bers in closer proximity to feed supply.
**********
A large quantity of highly nutritious food conserved*
Meat
made available for those on relief both as fresh for insnediate con
sumption and in the canned form for future use when a scarcity of
marketable cattle might cause beef to be beyond the reach of those
on very limited budgets*
Furnished imnediate employment to thousands who otherwise
would have remained out of work.
* * * * * * * * * *
Supplied immediate cash to farmers to buy necessities, and
to improve their relation with lienholders; otherwise conditions
would have grown worse instead of better, because of vast losses
that would have resulted through death of livestock*
* * * * * * * * * *
Conserved the morale of farmers and others, who had already
endured years of unusual hardship.
"The spirit to do and progress
and succeed was never stronger in Dakota," says "The Dakota Farmer",
commenting on the Drought, in the October issue.
* * * * * * * * * *
123
124
Educational— revealed a surprisingly large nunber of indif
ferently bred cattle in many instances of such low grade that even
tinder the most favorable conditions could not be expected to make
a profit for their producers*
Both immediate and ultimate improvement of the livestock
industries, immediate in that feed was conserved for the remainder
of the cattle and ultimate in the effect upon average quality as
so ably brought out in the following from the clever pen of Trank
D. Tomson of Kansas, a livestock authority and writer, who has
watched the industry progress for a half century — "To whatever
extent such cattle (inferior grades) axe slaughtered, the drought
has been a blessing."
By quick and effective coordination the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration made it possible for rented and contracted
acreage on the farms of crop and livestock control signers to be
planted to forage crops which made available a large tonnage of
roughage for carrying livestock through the winter and at the same
time gave the signers an opportunity to derive a crop income from
this land.
This proved to be a striking illustration of the adapt-*
ability of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration*
Had
market for
to a point
would have
the cattle buying program not been put into effect the
thin cattle especially cows would have become demoralise!
where returns would not have Justified shipment.
This
meant
(1)
Nonsalvaging of a large amount of human food*
(2)
Quicker disappearance of available livestock feed*
(3)
Failure to develop a tremendous amount of gainful
labor for people and industries badly needing the
same.
(4)
Complete dissipation of lienholders collateral.
(5)
In many eases a forced discontinuance of the cattle own
ers activities.
125
Reduced number of cattle to a point where weakened pastures
might be able to recuperate from the vicissitudes of the drouth dur
ing the ensuing season of 1935.
Simplified programs for prevention of soil erosion both on
private and public domain.
Cattle industry now has a better foundation upon which to
build for the future.
126
RECEIPTS 0? CATTLE AT PUBLIC MARKETS - 1934
TABLE 12 ahow3 the receipts of cattle at twelve principal
markets daring the calendar year 1934 with Government shipments
indicated*
Two things should he noted from chart 23;
(l)
that
most Federal purchases reached the markets in the short span of
four months, the hulk being confined to a period of about sixtydays; (2) receipts of commercial cattle followed the usual curve
during the period that Government cattle were moving, namely,
proved to be the peak of the year's run*
The inference which can be drawn from this chart is that
had the Government receipts been forced upon the open market as
property of the original owners daring the time when receipts
were heavy, the market would unquestionably have been seriously
depressed and would probably have reached a stage of stagnation
which would have completely demoralized the trade.

PRICE OP LOW-GRADE STEERS
Chart 24 Illustrates the average price paid for medium
and common-grade beef steers through the year 1934.
This is
of interest in connection with the effect of the Emergency
Purchase Program because steers of these two grades would to
some extent compete with cattle purchased by the Government*
Host of the Emergency purchases consisted of cows.
While the
price of low-grade steers dropped to a low point in mid August,
it strengthened thereafter and kept on a fair level until mid*
December, at which time the speculative interest came back into
the cattle ends and resulted in greatly improved demand*

DISTRIBUTION OF CATTLE IN UNITED STATES
Chart 25 illustrate* graphically the number of cattle by
states as of January 1, 1935*
That the 1934 drought swept through
the heart of the cattle-producing section of the United States is
clearly evidenced when we consider that the number remaining in
these drought states following the extensive federal purchase
program and heavy shipments to market through regular channels
still far exceeds the number in other sections of the nation.
Texas, the leading cattle state from the point of numbers,
shows slightly over 5,000,000 head following the government pur
chase of over 2,000,000 and a heavy marketward movement through
the regular channels during the latter part of 1934.
second with over 4,000,000.
the drought.
Iowa ranks
This state was not hit so hard by
The southern part of the state was in the direct
path of the drought, however, the northern half produced a sur
plus of feed and much of this was transported to the drought
afflicted sections and used to help hold cattle there*

CATTLE POPULATION IN DROUGHT STATES BEFORE
AND AB'TEU EMERGENCY PURCHASE PROGRAM.
In Chart 26 is presented a comparison of cattle population
in the several states where the emergency cattle buying program
took place, statistics as of January 1, 1934, and January 1, 1935
being used.
Statistics are presented on a percentage basis*
The upper
line for each state gives the total numoer of cattle on hand,
January 1, 1934.
The clear section at the right represents the
percentage of that number which was purchased by the government.
The second column gives the number of cattle on hand January 1, 1935.
In the states where tne most extensive purchases were made, cattle
numbers show a marked recession from the count of the previous year.
Several states show a reduction greater than the emergency purchase,
indicating that movement through regular channels more than off
set calf crop.
Obviously feed conditions necessitated very heavy
reductions in steers and stock cattle of all kinds within these
states.
It may seem a little inconsistent to note that several
states hav9 more cattle than a year ago.
It will be noted that
in these states the emergency purchases were very light, frequently
confined to a very small area within the state.
In such cases
conditions throughout the balance of the state were reasonably
good and cattle were not adversely affected.

T H E B E E F-C A TTLE PR O BLEM
ISSUED APRIL 1934
UNITED STATES
GO VERNM ENT PRIN TIN G OFFICE
WASHINGTON : 1931
SUMMARY OF THE BEEF-CATTLE PROBLEM
B eef cattle are now listed, under the A gricultural Adjustm ent
Act, as a basic commodity. Full provisions o f the act may now
be applied to control beef-cattle production and producers are
eligible to receive benefit payments fo r adjusting their production
In accordance with a program which may be developed by the
Agricultural Adjustm ent Adm inistration.
From 1928 to 1934 numbers o f all cattle— beef and dairy— in the
United States increased from about 57,000,000 to about 67,000,000.
M ilk-cow numbers increased by about 22 percent and beef cow s by
about the same percentage.
Annual cattle slaughter may be expected to rise from about
21,000,000 head per year to about 24,000,000 head in the next sev
eral years, unless prompt action is taken, although the number o f
finished cattle com ing to market has not yet begun to reflect fully
the increase in the number o f breeding stock.
B eef-cattle prices not only follow ed the decline in other farm
prices during the depression, but continued to drop until in 1933
they were $2.05 per hundredweight less than the parity price.
The key to the beef-cattle problem is the elimination o f from
6,000*000 to 7,000.000 cows and heifers now on farms. As an ini
tial effort, 2,000,000 head o f cows, in addition to usual m arket
ings, might be removed in 1934 through eradication o f diseased
animals and relief purchases. Contracts with individual pro
ducers might be required to assure that any removal program
adopted would not be offset by further increases in breeding and
feeding.
There may be a tem porary improvement in beef-cattle prices in
1934, partly because o f smaller receipts o f well-finished, coin fed eattle, caused by the shortage in the 1933 corn crop, and
partly because o f continued pick-up in consumer buying power,
but maximum returns to cattlemen w ill depend upon sound and
prompt adjustments in cattle numbers.
n
THE BEEF-CATTLE PROBLEM
The current trouble in beef cattle is due primarily to an increase
in all cattle numbers on farm and range over numbers sold since
about 1928 and partly to factors affecting demand for beef products.
During each of the past 6 years, cattlemen have produced from
1,000,000 to 1,500,000 more cattle than they have marketed. That is,
they have been adding to their herd faster than they have been sell
ing off. Thus a new cattle production cycle has been under way
for 6 years and we still are definitely on the upward trend in num
bers of cattle.
From 1928 to 1934, numbers of *all cattle—beef and dairy—in
creased about 10,651,000 head or nearly 20 percent. In 6 years, the
total number o f cattle in the United States increased from 57,000,000
to more than 67,000,000. The number of breeding cows on hand
rose to the largest figure in history.
Most of the increase in the number of cattle has occurred in cows
and heifers. Steers from the annual calf crops have been slaughtered
at about the usual rate as yearlings or 2-year-olds. There have been
no substantial year-to-year accumulations of aged steers, such as
have occurred before in other periods of increasing cattle numbers.
As yet, market receipts of cattle for slaughter have not fully re
flected the increase of cattle on farms because there always is a lag
of from 2 to 3 years from the time an increase in breeding herds
sets in until the larger crop of steers and heifers are grown out.
From now on, however, cattle for slaughter will increase at a greater
rate unless there is a prompt adjustment in present production
trends. The principal problem of the cattleman is to check this
potential increase in future production.
The accumulation of cows and heifers on farms, of course, now
presents a doubly difficult problem. As long as this she-stock remains
on the farm, it undoubtedly will be producing a calf crop— a calf
crop which will further increase the average annual number of meat
animals coming to market. But even if these cows and heifers are
not used to raise calves, there still remains the problem of dispos
ing of them without disturbing the market for the usual supplies
of beef in this country.
Even now— before there has been any increase in cattle for
slaughter comparable with the increase in total cattle numbers—the
cattle industry as a whole is on an unprofitable basis. Yet in the
immediate future, stockmen will have to begin to let go of part of
their depression accumulations of cows and other breeding animals;
they cannot continue much longer holding back part of the increase
but must market it.
During the past 6 years, American cattlemen have been selling
annually for slaughter an average o f 21,000,000 head. But from now
on, it is apparent that the annual kill will approach 24,000,000 head
o f cattle and calves. Such an increase of 3,000,000 head would

AGUICUX/rURAL ADJUSTMENT ADMINISTRATION
produce enough beef to supply a sudden extraordinary increase of
about 20,000,000 persons in the national population, at the normal
United States per capita consumption rate. Unless this potential
increase in the annual kill of cattle is headed oil' or unless demand
conditions improve materially within the next year or so, beefcattle prices will continue to hang from one fourth to one third
below the fair exchange value and possibly may go lower.
I f the annual production of calves should be reduced to the level
o f the past 6 years, producers would find themselves with at least
6,500.000 too many cows on hand. Milk cows, as of January 1, 1934,
have increased by 4,033,000 head in 6 years or by about 22 percent
o f the 1928 milk-cow total. Cows and heifers not kept for milk pro-
ALL CATTLE: Number on Farms and Estimated Annual
Slaughter of C attle and Calves, 1900 to Date
Numbers o f all cattle on farms, as indicated by the upper line in this chart
have varied considerably since 1900 anti the total annual slaughter o f cattle
and calves have increased and decreased at intervals, but the trend has been
steadily upward. Since 1Q28 a new cattle-production cycle has been under
w ay and numbers o f cattle on farms, particularly cow s and heifers, have in
creased by about 10,000,000 head. Annual slaughter o f cattle and calves has
recently be^un to reflect this increase and if present breeding herds are n o t .
reduced, total annual cattle slaughter in the United States may reach a new
high level.
duct ion also increased by the same percentage— from 8.765.000 head
to 10,682,000 head. The number of heifers, between 1 and 2 years
old. kept for milk purposes, increased 14 percent during the past
6-year period. Heifers between 1 and 2 years old, not kept for milk,
increased 29 percent.
The real key to the cattle production problem, then, is a prac
ticable and effective method for disposing of the extra cows and
heifers which have accumulated on farms and ranches since about
1928, in order to check further increases in cattle numbers. This is
a program which obviously engages the attention of both the dairycattle and beef-eattle industries. Substantial increases have occurred
in both kinds of cattle.
THE BEEF-CATTLE PROBLEM
3
The increase in beef-cattle numbers is responsible in large degree
for the disparity between the prices of beef cattle and the prices of
things farmers buy. The last year in which the average price of
beef cattle exceeded the fair exchange value, based on the relatively
stable pre-war (1910-14) relationship of prices, was in 1929. It also
happens that beef-cattle numbers in 1929 were at a comparatively
moderate level* The trend of cattle numbers had reached the end
o f its periodical 6- or 7-year down-swing, which in the past has com©
rather regularly as a part of the 15-year cattle-production cycle.
During 1938 the level of cattle prices was the lowest reached thus
far in the present century. The average farm price of beef cattle
in 1938, $3.63 per hundredweight, was the lowest price on record since
1899. This was $2.05 per hundredweight below the fair exchange
value, based on the pre-war price relationships and $5.52 below the
average price for 1929. The widest disparity on record between
actual price and the fair exchange value or u parity ” price likewise
occurred in December 1933, when the spread was $2.91 per hundred
weight. The federally inspected slaughter of beef cattle in Decem
ber 1933 in this country was 721,000 head or the largest for any
month since 1927. Such a low absolute price in dollars and cents,
as existed in 1933, along with the unfavorable ratio with other prices,
made it exceedingly difficult for cattlemen having fixed debts and
other expenses which do not change with livestock prices.
As has been indicated, the basis for price comparison—the meas
uring stick which indicates the economic condition of cattle—is the
relationship of price levels in the pre-war period (1910-14) when
prices o f beef cattle and the prices of nonfarm goods were in rea
sonable balance. Sound production-control plans under the Agri
cultural Adjustment A ct aim to help producers raise beef-cattle
prices and keep them at the fair exchange value, that is, at the pre
war relationship with prices of things farmers buy. As nonfarm
prices go up, of course, the price at which beef cattle must sell to
be on a fair exchange basis also must go up.
In measuring the beef-cattle price situation at any time, of course,
it is necessary to include in the comparisons, the returns from all
kinds of cattle slaughtered for beef. A temporary slackening in re
ceipts o f certain grades might result in a substantial rise in price,
which price, compared alone with the fair exchange value could lead
to inaccurate and over-optimistic conclusions. Prospective future
supplies of the same grade of cattle or the current return from other
grades of cattle might indicate an actual or potential price disparity,
based on averages, considerably larger than might be indicated by
one comparison.
This point probably will have a direct bearing on the beef-cattle
situation through the forepart of 1934. Federally inspected slaughter
for the first 3 months o f 1934 was larger than for the same period
in any year since 1919. Prices showed some improvement, however,
because of marked improvement in the consumer market, a prospec
tive reduction in fed-cattle supply for the summer as the sequel to
the short 1933 corn crop, and adjustment in hog supply. During
the middle of the year, it appears that numbers of certain grades of
cattle, particularly the long-fed high-quality animals may decrease
substantially. As a consequence prices may rise temporarily and
4

those who sell during this period will be benefited. But whether or
not returns from those particular grades and other grades over a
longer period will continue to be relatively profitable will depend
on how well cattlemen keep all numbers within the limits o f the
market henceforth. I f prices temporarily rise well toward parity,
because of seasonal conditions, it will require real self-control on the
part of cattlemen to properly evaluate the fundamental conditions
of supply and demand, and to view their operations without bias
and excessive optimism. Under such circumstances it is easy to lose
sight of the more important long-time factors in the cattle situation.

In only 5 out o f the 19 years since the 1910-14 period have beef-cattle prices
risen above the fa ir exchange value or “ parity ” level as defined by the A gri
cultural Adjustm ent Act, based on the relatively stable pre-w ar relationship
between cattle prices and prices of things farm ers buy. The dotted line indi
cates what cattle should have sold fo r to have been on a fair exchange basis.
In 1928 and 1929, when cattle numbers were at the low point in the production
cycle and before business* set in, cattle prices tem porarily rose above the fa ir
exchange value. Since then, farm prices o f beef cattle have again dropped be
low the pre-war relationship with cost o f nonfarm goods. The average farm
price o f beef cattle in 1933 o f $3.63 per hundredweight, w as $2.05 per hundred
weight below the parity level.
Up until the passage of the amendment to the Agricultural A d
justment Act (73d Cong., Apr. 7, 1934) which made beef cattle one
of the basic commodities, there was little beef-cattle producers could
do to cope with their production problem. In the past, matters were
left more or less to the operation of the familiar production cycle,
which usually runs about 15 years in length, 6 or 7 years up and 7
to 8 years down. I f cattle production happened to be relatively low
at a given period, cattle prices with respect to price of feed grains
and other livestock were likely to be high. This stimulated heavier
breeding and feeding o f beef cattle. Ranchmen and Corn-Belt
breeders kept back more heifers and cows in order that they might
5
TH E BEEF-CATTLE PROBLEM
raise more calves to supply the favorable market. Usually it takes
about 3 years before efforts of this sort to increase production are
reflected significantly in slaughter supplies. From 2 to 3 years are
involved in the production of a full-grown beef animal. This com
paratively long growing period is one of the factors which makes for
difficult adjustment o f beef-cattle production at this time.
After about 6 or 7 years of a gradual build-up in cattle numbers,
market supplies o f cattle usually become relatively burdensome, and
prices decline until they are below their average relationship with
prices of other livestock and feeds. In normal times, producers
then begin to contract operations. They reduce their breeding herds
by selling cows and heifers. After a few years, the excessive num
bers of breeding stock have been reduced and the total beef cattle
production of the country begins the down-swTing of the cycle. Or
dinarily, this down-swing continues for about 7 or 8 years because it
takes that long really to effect a substantial reduction in market
supplies and to again push cattle prices above their average relation
ship with prices of other farm commodities.

The cattle cycle, however, represents a rather ruthless and waste
ful system of keeping a working relationship over a period of years
between supply and demand. In years when production is increas
ing, producers" who make a permanent business of raising cattle ex
pand their operations on the average and a number of “ in-and-oute rs” go back in the business. When production invariably passes
beyond the point where it would be in best adjustment with demand,
then the expensive process of contraction must set in. Frequently,
many producers are ruined by low prices before a general reduction
throughout the cattle business, sufficient to raise cattle income, can
take place. The stage is set today for another squeeze o f this sort;
some adjustment in cattle production is inescapable. The important
question is how it shall be made.
6
AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT ADMINISTRATION
At the present time, the beef-cattle industry is scarcely in a position
to let the present upward trend in production play itself out through
the gradual bankruptcy and indiscriminate discouragement of pro
ducers. For more than 4 years now, cattle prices have been declining
in dollars-and-cents value per hundredweight and the difference be
tween them and the fair exchange value has been growing wider.
A t the same time, ranchmen and Corn-Belt feeders alike have been
burdened more and more with fixed debts and relatively heavy
current operating expenses.
The decline in dollars-and-cents value per hundredweight of
slaughter cattle since 1928, of course, has not been due solely to an
Relation of Retail Value of Beef Consumed to
Consumer Incomes in the U.S-1921 to Date
T ota l retail expenditures for beef, as in the case o f pork, are determined
largely by the level of consumer incomes. In addition to any improvem ent
in price obtained through production adjustment, the dollars-and-cents income
from cattle will also tend to increase as consumer incomes increase. The chart
above shows the close relationship between retail value o f beef sold and
consumer incomes.
increase in supply. Beef-cattle prices declined partly in concert with
the depression drop in the average level o f all prices. The whole
sale and retail values of beef and beef products vary closely wTith
the level o f consumers' incomes. When consumers' incomes drop by
approximately 50 percent, as they did between 1928 and 1934, con
sumers7 expenditures for beef, regardless of the supply offered, drop
by about the same percentage.
A gradual rise now in both the average level and aggregate amount
o f consumers’ incomes will, as indicated, likely be reflected in
stronger beef-cattle prices. But improvement in consumers’ incomes
alone is not the fundamental solution of the cattle-production prob
TH E BEEF-CATTLE PROBLEM
7
lem. This is because it will take sound and adequate adjustment o f
cattle numbers to affect appreciably the disparity between beef-cattle
prices and prices of things farmers buy. Consumers’ food require
ments do not vary with their money incomes. A return of relatively
high wages, say an increase of as much as 100 percent over 1932,
could not be expected to mean an increase of 100 percent in the con
suming ability o f the American people or in the percentage of their
incomes that they spend for beef.
With beef, as with hogs, an increase in slaughter tends to increase
the aggregate of in-between costs and margins for transporting,
processing, and distributing the products. Some unit costs and
margins do not change with a change in supply; hence, the larger
the supply, the smaller the percent of the consumers’ dollar is left
for the producer. On the other hand, a reduction in supply to restore
balance reduces the aggregate o f in-between costs and margins and
leaves a larger percentage of the consumers’ dollar for the producer.
Thus, by returning to producers a larger percentage of what con
sumers spend, adjustment of production tends to wipe out price
disparity and to increase the aggregate return from the crop. Beefcattle producers stand to benefit from adjustment in production,
so far as price disparity is concerned, even if there should be no
further increases in consumers’ incomes. To put it another way,
producers will not obtain the largest possible increase in income
from cattle if they depend solely on improvement in consumers’
incomes for a rise in cattle prices.
Unlike hogs, cattle in this country have not played an important
part in world trade in recent years. In the latter part of the.
nineteenth century and the early part o f this century, before
Argentina began to dominate the beef export trade of the world,
the United States shipped large numbers of live cattle abroad,
particularly to the British Isles. Since the W orld War, however,
our exports of beef products have been almost negligible. The
largest exports of beet from the United States occurred during the
war-time year, 1918, when 711,000,000 or about 10 percent of the
total slaughter was shipped out. The following year, 1919, beef
exports dropped to 287,000,000 pounds. Further sharp drops took
place in 1920 and 1921. A rapid decrease took place through the
remainder of the decade. In 1932, the United States exported only
13,000,000 pounds; in 1933, the export was 17,000,000 pounds or
about one fourth of 1 percent of the total slaughter for the year.
The United States imports a very small volume of live cattle and
beef products. Live-cattle imports in 1933 totaled only 80,000 head.
Beef imports are mostly in the form of canned beef and pickled
beef. A total o f 43,182,728 pounds of canned beef were imported
into the United States in 1933 as compared with 21,853,683 pounds
in 1932 and 77,480,904 pounds in 1929, which was the year of largest
imports o f this commodity during the last 13 years. The 1933
imports of canned beef were the equivalent o f about 181,000 head o f
cattle o f average weight. This is the equivalent of 2 percent of
the 1933 cattle slaughter under Federal inspection and of only about
1.4 percent of all cattle slaughter.
Under existing regulations, imports of live cattle and beef remain
at a relatively low figure. It may be noted in this connection that
the imposition of any processing tax on beef cattle under the A gri
AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT ADMINISTRATION
8
cultural Adjustment Act would include a proportionate compensat
ing tax on imports of beef in addition to present regulations.
Over the world, Argentina is the most important beef-exporting
country. Cattle numbers in that country stood at 32.212,000 head in
June i930. Normally between 80 and 90 percent of the total beef
exports from Argentina averaging over 1,000,000,000 pounds finds a
market in the United Kingdom. The recent modification of the
Ottawa, Canada, agreement to favor empire countries will restrict
imports o f foreign beef into the United Kingdom, however, and will
affect the Argentina cattle industry materially. Uruguay and Brazil
are two other large exporting countries.
World cattle numbers in 1933 continued the upward trend of re
cent years, and current beef production is heavier than a year ago.

amounted to about one fourth o f 1 percent of the total slaughter of cattle and
calves for the year. F or about o years after 1900, before Argentina began to
dominate the world market for beef, exports continued at a moderate level and
then declined rather rapidly. During the war period, exports o f Am erican beef
tem porarily were greatly increased. A fter 1020, however, the decline was
rapid. Imports o f beef into the United States also are relatively small, total

At the same time, however, deficit countries have tended to increase
their restrictions on imports in the interest of domestic producers.
Prices in protected markets are tending to go higher than a year ago,
but in the leading export countries they show little if any improve
ment and continue at unusually low levels. In a number of exporting
countries, significant changes in the organization of the cattle and
beef industry are being considered. The outlook for an expansion
o f trade in beef by exporting countries is not good. Trade restric
tions hold down exportations and foreign consumption o f beef has
declined. Judging from available trade figures, the reduced con
sumption o f beef noted in the leading importing countries in 1932
was continued in 1933.
TH E BEEF-CATTLE PROBLEM

Although the slaughter of cattle and calves has not yet fully
reflected the increase in total cattle numbers on farms during the
past several years, the volume of slaughter in recent months has
begun to show the increase that is under way. For each of the
past 10 months the number of cattle slaughtered under Federal
inspection has exceeded the 5-year record. Compared with the
previous 10 months, the slaughter during the recent period has
increased 25 percent.
The major problems involved in sound and practicable adjust
ment o f cattle numbers are: (1) How to remove the present sur
plus of cows and heifers from the farm and range without demoral
izing the regular market for slaughter cattle; (2) how to secure
agreements with individual producers and feeders to prevent frus
tration o f a cow removal plan by increases in number of heifer
calves kept back; (3) how to divide any benefit pa}Tments involved
between those who grow the steer and those who fatten him to
market condition; and (4) how to produce benefits promptly to
aid cattlemen, in view o f the fact that immediate adjustment in
breeding cows cannot substantially affect number of beef animals
actually going to market, before late 1936 and 1937.
Many suggestions for adjusting cattle production have been o f
fered. Representatives o f both beef-cattle and dairy-cattle groups
have favored the removal of diseased animals, under the super
vision o f the Bureau o f Animal Industry and the purchase of lowgrade cows and heifer calves for processing for emergency relief
purposes. Some have advocated a program o f spaying heifers. It
has been suggested that contracts be prepared for both producers
and feeders, under which they may receive benefit payments for
reducing number of calves produced or fed by the desired per
centage under the average for some base period.
Although it might be desirable to eliminate about 6,000,000 cows
in one market operation, a gradual and moderate reduction schedule
is more practicable. In the first place, it seems probable that not
more than about 2,000,000 could be handled effectively in 1 year
for the Emergency Relief Administration under a special slaughter
plan of this sort, without turning back some products to the nor
mal channels o f trade. A reduction o f 2,000,000 cows over the next

A problem in connection with any comprehensive adjustment pro
gram will be the division o f any benefit payments made in connec
tion with individual contracts. The rangeman is the primary
producer; the Corn-Belt feeder is the secondary producer. Some
farmers both breed and feed-out beef animals. Inasmuch as the
fundamental aim of the Agricultural Adjustment Act is to increase
income from agricultural commodities and because benefit payments,
regardless o f how made and in what manner they are applied, con
tribute toward this income increase, it is argued that rangemen and
cattle feeders should share in benefit payments in some fair and
reasonable proportion. This problem will call for fair consideration
o f the respective contributions o f cattle growers and feeders in the
production of a mature beef animal.
Finally, there is the necessity of giving producers the benefits of
adjustment as soon as possible, as far in advance o f the actual reduc
10
AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT ADMINISTRATION
tion in supply as is practicable. It is recognized that the removal
of cows in 1934 really would not affect the maturing beef crop until
about 1936 or 1937. This is because it takes more than 2 years (in
cluding the pregnancy period) to produce a calf for market. But a
cow-and-heifer purchase plan would have the advantage of per
mitting prompt distribution of some money in benefit payments.
Additional funds also could be issued promptly in the form of initial
payments to growers and feeders who agree individually to control
cattle numbers.
The amendment to the Agricultural Adjustment Act which made
beef cattle a basic commodity, authorized a maximum appropriation
of $50,000,000 to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to make “ ad
vances to the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation for the purchase
of dairy and beef products for distribution for relief purposes and
to enable the Secretary, under rules and regulations to be promulated by him and upon such terms as he may prescribe, to eliminate
iseased dairy and beef cattle, including cattle suffering from tuber
culosis or Bangs’ disease and to make payments to owners with re
spect thereto.” This money constitutes an “ enabling fund ” , that is,
a fund which can be drawn on while adjustment is in process and
before it is practicable to levy a processing tax, which is the ultimate
means of financing any program, just as with cotton, wheat, hogs,
and tobacco. The processing tax is more than a means o f collecting
funds for making benefit payments. It is the device provided for by
the act which assures cooperating producers that they will receive
their full share of any increase in income which comes about as a
result of their individual reductions. The cooperating producer
shares in the proceeds of the tax; the noncooperator does not so
share.
Until the slaughter supply is adjusted, it is conceivable that a
processing tax might operate to depress beef-cattle prices. In the
long run, however, it should be possible to so handle a processing
tax on cattle that prices would not be adversely affected. Process
ing taxes are collected at the point of first processing. Out of the
proceeds from the sale of his products, the processor pays a part
into the tax fund and the rest directly to the producer. The money
in the tax fund is then distributed to producers who participate
in any plan of adjustment.
The full legal rate of the processing tax which may be levied is
the difference between actual farm price and fair exchange value
(approximately $2.70 per hundredweight as of Jan. 15, 1934), but
it is the judgment of many cattle producers that a relatively smaller
tax should be levied at the outset for financing any program that
might be developed.
Another phase of the cattle problem is the more or less definite
relationship between feed production and cattle production. Cattle
do not consume as large a proportion of the Nation’s feed grains
as do hogs, but they account for between 17 and 18 percent o f the
annual corn crop and substantial quantities of other grain feeds
and hays. Thus, when feeds become relatively cheap because of
large supplies or a decline in livestock numbers, there is a tendency
to expand breeding and feeding operations, regardless of the necessity for and the eventual profitableness of such expansion.
f
TH E BEEF-CATTLE PROBLEM
11
Adjustment of livestock production, therefore, tends to precipitate
the question of proportionate adjustment in feed-crop acreage in
order to keep prices of each group of commodities on a normal price
relationship to each other. Otherwise, feed prices tend to decline
and encourage heavier feeding operations. This is a matter of
interest to range cattlemen, even though they are not primarily
engaged in producing feeds and finishing out cattle. Over a period
of years, the profitableness of the range-cattle business depends in
part on the profitableness of cattle feeding in the Central States.

Most o f the beef cattle o f the United States are grown in the Central and
W estern States, including Oklahoma and Texas. The increase in beef-cattle
numbers in these two regions since 1928 has been at about the same rate.
M ilk-cattle numbers, however, are substantially larger in the Central States
than in the W estern States. M ilk-cow numbers in both regions have been on
the upw ard trend since 1920.
Efforts of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, therefore,
to keep both feed-crop acreage and livestock numbers at the right
point and in normal relationship to each other is of direct signifi
cance for all cattlemen.
Efforts to improve conditions in the dairy and beef-cattle business
is of interest to farmers in all parts of the United States. Between
4,500,000 and 5,000,000 farmers keep some cattle. Several hundred
thousand producers live on the western range. Large numbers of
12
AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT ADMINISTRATION
beef cattle are produced in Texas and the southwest. The ComBelt fanners produce a good many steers from their own herds as
well as feed-out western-grown range animals. In the East, there
is the Appalachian grazing and fattening section wThere steers are
produced almost entirely on grass.
Cattlemen will have difficult questions to get around in meeting
their production problem under the Agricultural Adjustment Act,
but the desired objective is clear. A t least 2,000,000 extra cows
should be attracted to market as soon as possible and the products
they yield should be handled in such a way as not to disturb the
regular market for beef. Subsequently, additional cows and heifers
should be sent to market until the total is down by about 6,000,000
or 7,000,000 head.
The questions involved in a practicable beef-cattle program should
be thoroughly discussed by beef cattlemen in all parts of the coun
try. Any plan finally agreed on should be unified and fair to all
sections. The powers ot the Federal Government have now been
placed at the disposal of cattle producers by the amendments to the
Agricultural Adjustment Act. What the future holds for cattle
will depend in large part to what extent and in what degree of
success the provisions of this act are utilized by cattle breeders
and feeders.

AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTM ENT ADM INISTRATION
DROUGHT RELIEF SERVICE
SUGGESTIONS FOR COUNTY DIRECTORS, AGRICULTURAL
DROUGHT RELIEF SERVICE
1. County director to select a temporary county drought com
mittee of 3 to 5 members.
2. Hold meeting of temporary county drought committee:
(a) To develop and discuss county plans for the purchase and
disposal of drought area cattle to be purchased under Emer
gency Cattle Agreements.
(b) To select township committee of 1 to 3 men per township
or community according to needs. To save time, it is suggested
that many of the experienced Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration commodity committeemen be used.
3. Hold county conference of all county and township committee
men and inspectors. It is suggested that "State supervisors of county
agents and subject matter specialists assist in holding county
meetings.
(a) To review plan and procedure.
(&)
To study Emergency Cattle Agreement, Appraiser’s
Record, and other forms to be used.
(<?) Arrange schedule of dates for appraisal group to visit
townships or communities, giving preference to townships or
communities most severely affected by drought.
(d)
Expedite arrangements for obtaining record of liens on
cattle involved in the Emergency Cattle Agreement and obtain
lienholders’ signatures to a release or to the Emergency Cattle
Agreement.
4. Arrange series of township or community meetings to be con
ducted by township or community committeemen at which detailed
explanation o f cattle purchase plan, Emergency Cattle Agreement,
and Appraiser’s Record will be given.
(a) It should be pointed out at this meeting that appraisers
should give careful consideration to placing prices on animals
according to their relative value so that animals of comparable
grade and breeding on different farms will be appraised on a
comparable basis. These prices range upward from the
minimum rate.
5. In some counties it may be desirable, as a preliminary step
in organization, to hold one or more general county meetings of
drought-stricken farmers, business men, lienholders, and inspectors:
(a) To explain drought relief service plans, Emergency
Cattle Agreement, Federal and State plans for the purchase,
care, and disposal of drought-area cattle.
( b ) To select a county agricultural drought relief service
committee.
66452— 34
6. The township or community committee will designate one or
two of their number as an appraisal committee, and one member to
arrange the itinerary of the appraisal committee and inspector of
the Bureau o f Animal Industry.
(a) The appraisal committee will accompany the inspector
on his visits to all farms. The reason for this is to prevent dis
putes and time-consuming adjustments which would result if
time elapsed between the visit of the appraisal committee and
the visit of inspector in which the condition of appraised
animals might change.
(b) The Appraiser’s Record in all cases must be completed
on the farm.
( c ) The community committee should endeavor to secure rep
resentation of lienholders at the time the appraisal is made,
so that the entire transaction can be closed at that time and the
program expedited. In cases of absentee lienholders, their
power of attorney or releases should be secured in advance of the
appraisal.
7. The Bureau of Animal Industry inspector, appraisal committee,
and the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation agent will visit farms
together.
(a) The Federal Surplus Relief Corporation Agents will take
charge of the animals accepted for food or for shipment.
(£>) The Bureau of Animal Industry inspector will classify
all animals, designating those that are to be condemned. At
the request of the representative of the Federal Surplus Relief
Corporation the Bureau of Animal Industry inspector will
recommend which o f the animals delivered to the Federal Sur
plus Relief Corporation are most useful for subsistence stock.
(<?) The Bureau of Animal Industry inspector will supervise
the slaughter and disposal of condemned animals.
(d) Producers may salvage for use on their farms parts of
condemned carcasses, subject to regulations of Bureau of A ni
mal Industry inspectors.
(e ) Follow instructions in filling out Emergency Cattle
Agreement and Appraiser’s Record.

distressed condition on account of the drought. Purchases shall be made only from those producers
who have fully demonstrated to the satisfaction of the county director or his authorized representatives
that their feed supplies are not sufficient to maintain their animals, and that such inability is due entirely
to drought conditions. Purchases from individual producers shall not be in excess of the number which
it is necessary to remove in order to make reasonably certain that the remainder can be maintained.
2. The producer wishing to sell sheep or Angora goats shall make application to his county drought
director by filling out Form Sheep 2, showing his inventory and number to be offered for sale. The inven
tory and classification record shall be filled in according to the printed instructions on the inventory sheet.

shall arrange for all lienholders and the landlords, if any, interested in the sheep or Angora goats, to be
present at the time of inspection and classification, or shall have procured the signature of the lien
holders and the landlords, if any, to the voucher and emergency livestock agreement.
7. Sheep and Angora goats shall be classified as fit for use if they are in condition to trail to the
designated shipping point, withstand shipment to point of slaughter, carry sufficient flesh, and be other
wise suitable for slaughter for food or for redistribution for other relief purposes.
8. Sheep and Angora goats purchased which do not meet the requirements specified in paragraph 7
shall be considered as unfit for use and shall be disposed of on the ranch or farm by slaughter under
supervision of the agent.
9. No freshly shorn sheep or Angora goats shall be purchased.
10. The producer shall slaughter the sheep and Angora goats classified as unfit for use, and remove

The producer shall also dispose of the carcasses of those animals classified as unfit for use according to
the instructions of the authorized agent of the Secretary of Agriculture.
11. The producer shall deliver the animals accepted for use and the pelts of the animals not fit for
use to a designated shipping point as instructed by the county director or authorized agent.
12. The authorized agent of the Secretary of Agriculture shall execute the voucher and the emer
gency livestock agreement upon delivery of the animals and/or pelts as provided for in paragraph 11.
The producer, county director, or their authorized agents shall be present at the time of delivery.

to read as follows:
“ No freshly shorn sheep or angora goats shall be purchased

Whenever sheep or goats assembled for sale under the Emergency
Livestock Agreement designated “ for use ” by a representative of
the Secretary of Agriculture die while being trailed to the desig
nated shipping point or become unable to trail to the designated
shipping point because of deterioration in condition while being
trailed, thus necessitating their immediate slaughter, or, having
reached the designated shipping point, are not in condition to with
stand shipment to point of slaughter, necessitating their slaughter
before shipment, the pelts or skins of such sheep or goats, respec
tively, should be accepted in lieu of the delivery of such sheep or
goats. Where this is done, the agent of the Secretary of Agriculture
should be certain that the pelts or skins accepted in lieu or sheep or
goats have actually been removed from those sheep or goats that were
94431*— 34

accepted “ for use ” on the ranch, and in no event should the number
of pelts or skins thus accepted exceed, when added to the number of
those sheep and goats, respectively, shipped from the designated
shipping point, the total number of sheep and goats, respectively,
accepted as “ for use ” on the ranch.
The authorized agent of the Secretary of Agriculture should insert
the number of pelts or skins that were accepted in lieu of the sheep
or goats, by the terms of the above paragraph, in the last section of
the Receipt for Sheep and/or Goats Purchased under Emergency
Livestock Agreement (Form Sheep 5), and such number may be
included in the “ Total.” No entry should be made in that column
of the Public Voucher and Emergency Livestock Agreement (Column
2) before the sheep or goats, respectively, are accepted at the ship
ping points. Thereafter the number of sheep or goats, respectively,
whose pelts or skins have been accepted as a substitute in accordance
with the above paragraph, should be subtracted from the number of
head accepted 44 for use ” on the ranch, and such difference shall be
placed on the lines beginning “ Sheep (ewes)” and “ Angora Goats
(fem ale)” , respectively, in Column 2. Thereafter on the first line
below that beginning “Angora Goats (female)” shall be written the
words “ Sheep (ewes) Died between appraisal and delivery—pelts
accepted ” , and the number of pelts accepted under the terms of the
first paragraph above shall be entered in Column 3 headed, “ Number
Head Not For Use.” In the second line below that beginning “ An

In order that the Emergency Livestock Agreement may be em
ployed in the purchase o f livestock from Indians under the juris
diction o f a superintendent, the following ruling i$ made:
Those Indians who are under the jurisdiction of a superintendent
may appoint such superintendent to execute the Emergency Live
stock Agreement and may also appoint such superintendent to re
ceive payment on their behalf. Payment may be made in one check
to a superintendent so appointed for any number of the payments
due to all or any part of the Indians appointing him. It is under
stood that an Indian, in authorizing the signing o f the Agreement,
intends to represent by paragraph 3 (a) that where he is living on
a reservation, he is participating in the activities of such reservation,
and in authorizing the signing of paragraph 3 (b) represents that
he has such ownership and possession in the livestock as the laws of
jjie United States governing Indians may permit him to have. It
is also understood that in paragraph 3 (c) the Indian does not repre
sent that his right to sell such animals may not be limited by the laws
<rf the United States. However, when the superintendent signs the
Agreement it is understood that such superintendent represents that
all right, title, and interest to such animals, as are contracted for
under the Agreement, will be conveyed to the Secretary o f Agricul
ture acting on behalf o f the United States.

EXHIBIT 3. - THE CAUSE OP THE RECENT DROUGHT
Of the many physical environments that affect man's well being,
climate is outstandingly important.
Agriculture is the very founda
tion of civilisation, and the weather plays an important role in all
farming activities.
Yet some features of weather and climate often
are a menace to growing crops and agriculture in general.
Tith regard to climates favorable for agriculture the United
States is very fortunate in comparison with many other lands.
How
ever, in the western half of our country there are large areas which,
because of insufficient moisture, are unsuited for crop growth unless
irrigated.
About 40 per cent of the land area of the United States
receives, on the average, less than 20 inches of precipitation annual
ly, in such regions the matter of drought is especially important.
Operating under the climatic limitations found here and the vicissi
tudes of varying weather, two questions naturally arise:
(l)
"What
is the cause of droughts11, and (2) "Can man do anything to change
existing conditions and avert calamities such as the 1934 drought
produced."
llany theories have been advanced as to the cause of the recent
situation.
Those most frequently heard are extensive radio broad
casting and the drainage of small lakes, ponds, marshes, and the
like.
The broadcasting theory can be disposed of quickly.
It is de
finitely known th^t radio waves have no influence whatever on atmos-
204
305
m&m
perhic pressure conditions nor on the temperature*
Consequently,
they could not affect condensation, the major factor in precipita
tion.
Furthermore, some long records show that quite similar, or
even more severe, droughts occurred many years before the radio was
even thought of.
If broadcasting is responsible for the 1934 condi
tions in the midwest, what was the sinister influence that caused the
drought centering around 1850 and that in the early nineties, which
the records show obtained.
The drainage theory, sponsored by a good many thinking people,
requires more deliberate consideration; on its face it appears logi
cal and convincing.
It is argued that, with the destruction of
thousands of square miles of water surface, there is obviously less
moisture contributed to the atmosphere through evaporation, and, con
sequently, less to condense and precipitate as rain.
Competent
meteorologists know that this theory is faulty, also*
Two fundamentals are necessary to produce rain; first, water mast
be gotten into the air through evaporation from moist surfaces and
transpiration through the leaves of growing plants; and, second, the
invisible water vapor thus supplied must be condensed into liquid
form as rain drops.
The drainage theory as the cause of the drought
and local evaporation as a remedy overestimate the importance of the
first phase of the problem.
Many seem to think that all that is nec
essary to produce rain is to supply the air, or more correctly speaking,
206
-3-
space, with sufficient moisture.
far the more important.
However, the second phase is by
In other words, there is nearly always
enough moisture present in the air to produce rain in substantial
amounts whenever the machinery of nature1s rain factory is operat
ing in a manner to cause sufficient condensation.
There is abundant evidence to support this statement, but only
one example need be given, a comparison of conditions at a repre
sentative station in the Plains (Lincoln, Hebr.) in July and Septem
ber, 1934.
July, with an average of 4.9 grains of water per cubic
foot in the lower strata of the air, had a total rainfall of 0-40
inch for the entire month, or only 10 per cent of normal*
for Sep
tember the moisture content of the air averaged 4.1 grains per
cubic foot (as shown by the Ve&ther Bureau records) or 16 per cent
less than in July, yet September had 4.47 inches of rainfall, or
approximately ten times as much as July*
Obviously the extreme July
dryness was not due to a lack of atmospheric moisture.
Volumes of
similar evidence could be offered.
The only effective method of producing rain is through the
cooling of the air in volume and degree sufficient to extract from
it a goodly portion of its valuable water treasure hidden in vapor
form.
Hature effects this cooling in a number of ways and usually
on an immense scale, through the expenditure of enormous amounts of
energy, far greater than man could ever hope to emulate*
Air mores
20?
- 4from place to place over the earth* s surface in oast formation.
These masse* are of tvo major sources, polar and tropical; those of
polar origin are dense, heavy and relatively cold* and those of
tropical inception, warmer and lighter.
A mass of tropical origin
moving horthward may come in contact with a polo-mass, and, being
lighter, it naturally flows up over the opposing dense air just as
it would flow up the side of a mountain that by chance may be disposed
in its path.
In its ascent, through expansion, the cooling necessary
to produce rain is effected.
This illustrates nature's method of
producing rain in appreciable amounts; no other is effective.
Under
different circumstances the process varies, of course, often being
decidedly local.
During the 1934 drought there was a persistent absence of denre,
cool, polar air masses froa the Horth until about the middle of Au^>
ust when a more normal movement began, definitely breaking the heat
wave, and, in conjunction with more favorable cyclonic air circula
tion farther south, producing drou^it-relieving showers over the in
terior States.
In other words, during the drought the atmosphere
became stagnated and normal movements of air masses (cyclone and
anticyclone) were interrupted for long periods of time.
Just haw
these drought conditions definitely establish themselves and persist
so long, as in 1934, has not yet been determined* but it is evident
that any effort of man to effectively change the situation would be
fruitless*
208
-5While man is in no way responsible for the drought, as such,
he did contribute very materially to its damaging effects through
extensive cultivation where it should never have been practiced.
The greater the area of loose pulverized soil exposed to the wind,
the more extensive and daaaging will be soil erosion and dust storns
during droughts.
The answer here is, fewer cultivated fields; more
natural vegetation; more grass lands without too close grazing, and
any device that would diminish the surface velocity of the wind and
conserve soil moisture-
In such things as these man is not helpless.

MEMORANDUM TO THB-SECRETARY
Dear Mr. Secretary:
At your direction, there has been discussed with repre
sentatives of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration,
Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, and Farm Credit Adminis
tration, the division of duties and responsibilities of the
several agencies cooperating in relief activities in the drought
area and the function of each agency in connection with the
allocation of any expenditures from the $525,000,000 fund appro
priated by the Emergency Appropriation Act, fiscal year 1935,
part of which has been allocated by executive order.
1.
The Federal Surplus Relief Corporation will receive
from the Agricultural Adjustment Administration
cattle purchased from Jones-Connally funds, and live
stock purchased from funds allocated by the President.
Such cattle will be distributed for relief purposes,
as follows:
(1)
Suitable cattle, if any, will be
distributed as subsistence stock.
(2) Approximately 75,000 head per week
will be shipped by the Federal
Surplus Relief Corporation to commercial
packing plants for slaughter and can
ning, with provision for storage of
carcasses over and above available
canning facilities until such time as
facilities are available.
(3)
(4)
To State Emergency Relief Adminis
trations for processing in plants
operated as work relief projects,
' or by commercial pa&king plants.
To State Eaergency Relief Adminis
trations to be pastured for grazing
prior to slaughter or redistribution.
- 3-
Other livestock donated toy you for relief purposes
nay be distributed in similar fashion.
It is understood there will be available $100,000,000
for the purpose of paying all feeding, handling,
transportation, and processing costs after purchase
by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration.
Of the
total, $25,000,000 has already been allocated.
II. The federal Emergency Belief Administration will pro
vide additional work relief for families and individuals
In the drought areas, including projects to provide ad
ditional water supply in these areas now deficient in
water resources.
It is understood that there will be available for this
undertaking $125,000,000, of which $31,250,000 has been
allocated by executive order.
In accordance with the established procedure, the federal
Emergency Relief Administration allocates funds to the
State Emergency Relief Administrations.
These funds are
distributed to individuals as payment for work.
In order
to provide the families on relief rolls with sufficient
amounts cf money to feed livestock, which in turn provides
the families with food for subsistence, funds may be ad
vanced before the work is performed, or sufficient work
may be given so that money will be available to purchase
stock feed.
It has been agreed that the Federal Emergency Relief Ad
ministration, through its agencies, shall provide not in
excess of $25-00 per month for maintenance of subsistence
stock to destitute families eligible for relief.
Several state relief administrations and the Federal Sur
plus Relief Corporation are now buying stock feed for
distribution.
It is proposed that such purchases will be discontinued
and funds advanced for the purchase of feed requirements
from local dealers by individuals on relief rolls.
III.
Farm Credit Administration proposes to make loans insofar
as the administration of the $100,000,000 emergency fund
for loans for feeding cad the planting of forage crops is
concerned and in addition, for the movement of cattle to
grazing areas and return, and to provide for the movement
of cattle to grazing areas on feeding-in-transit rates of
cattle which will later move to market.
The policy de
termined upon is to make loans on u nsecured notes with
non-disturbance agreements from chattel lienholders.
211
313
-3-
Based upon information furnished by this office, cthe Farm
Credit Administration has prepared basic tables of amounts
per month to be loaned upon various classes of livestock.
Farm Credit Administration will make no loans where the
initial loan is to be on a basis of less than $25.00 per
month.
Such cases will be handled by the Federal Emerg
ency Belief Administration.
Where $25.00 or more par month is required for livestock
feed and seed for forage crops, Farm Credit Administration
will make such loans.
It is understood that the whole program is being under
taken for the relief of those heavily burdened by drought
or similar conditions.
At the present time the Farm
Credit Administration proposes to make emergency loans
from this fund only to counties designated as emergency
areas and only to those whose applications are approved
by local committees, upon which the county representatives
of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration are repre
sented.
It is proposed that applications for loans will be sub
mitted to the Agricultural Drought Belief Director of
the county in which the application is made by the rep
resentative of the Farm Credit Administration before the
applications are submitted to the local committee for
consideration and action.
Private agencies and established governmental agencies
are expected to continue making advances to those who
have credit facilities.
Of the $100,000,000 requested for such loans, $25,000,000
has already been allocated to the Farm Credit Adminis
tration.
IV - The functions of the Secretary of Agriculture and his
agencies in connection with the administration of
funds allocated by the executive order referred to
above are:
(1) To survey conditions within States and
Counties and on the basis of reports from
properly qualified personnel to determine
which counties shall be included in drought
areas.
The purchase and conservation of seed for
future crop plantings in drought areas*
For this purpose, a fund of $25,000,000
has been appropriated, all of which has
been allocated.
The purchase of livestock for donation
to the Federal Surplus Belief Corporation
for relief distribution.
For this purpose, there was requested
$75,000,000, of which $18,750,000 has
been allocated.
This amount is in addition to the sum of
$100,000,000,appropriated under the JonesConnally amendment and such part of the
appropriation under the LaFollette amend
ment as is available for elimination of
disease,'probably $30,000,000.
The movement of animals, if necessary,
to assist in preserving the livestock
industry of the United States, when it
appears that without such action desirable
breeding stock may be slaughtered.
This item contenqplates the purchase and
movement to grazing areas or feeding areas
of superior stock, to prevent destruction
or waste of such stock, the disposition
thereof to be determined later at the
discretion of the Secretary.
It is intend
ed that every effort shall first be made
to aid and assist owners of such stock to
secure financing and continue their owner
ship of such superior stock.
It is proposed that as a measure of assistance
to Agriculture, and for the purpose of minim*
ising unwarranted price increases in feed
stuffs, there be set up a regulating and con
trol agency by which all requirements for feed
and roughage in counties and states of the
drought area may be compared with known avail
able supplies above requirements in other
314
-5areas.
By voluntary cooperation of all
trade agencies, allocated purchases of
requirement s in various drought sections
or communities to various markets and on
the basis of competition.
To arrange for
the fulfillment of requirements on the best
price basis with low service charges to be
paid only to the final distributor, who will
be assured of cash payment and prompt deliv
ery by previous coordinated efforts of feed
dealers and county committees to determine
community feed needs and to provide sufficient
funds from three sources:
1.
The citizen with his own funds*
2.
The citizen borrowing from Farm Credit;
3.
The citizen receiving funds from the
Federal Emergency Belief Administration,
all to be ready to accept delivery upon ar
rival of cars and prepared to pay local dealer
upon delivery.
Such a Feed and Forage Regulating Office has
been instituted within the Drought Belief
Service and is prepared to function.
The
matter has been carefully presented and dis
cussed with representatives of the trade,
representatives of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, the Bureaus of the De
partment of Agriculture the Federal Emerg
ency Belief Administration and the Farm
Credit Administration, all of whom have united
in the recommendation that the proposed coordina
tion be attempted, and who have all expressed
the belief that it is desirable, feasible, and
workable with great possible benefits.
The representatives of the Federal Emergency
Belief Administration and Farm Credit Admin
istration have urged that it be undertaken.
(6)
Funds for the movement of animals and opera
tion of the proposed service most come from
the $25,000,000 allocated by the President
for seed or from the $75,000,000 appropriated
for the purchase of livestock.
The executive order reads "to met the emerg
ency and necessity for relief in stricken
agricultural areas, there is hereby allocated
to the Secretary of Agriculture or such agency
as he may designate, the sum of $43,750,000
for the purchase, sale, gift or other disposi
tion of seed, feed, and livestock, and for the
transportation thereof."
No reference is made herein to the program of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, nor to the land purchase program of
the Federal Emergency Belief Administration.

GALiyGHHIA
The drought in C&liforaia during 1934 wag the culmination of a series
of dry years.
In most pari* ol th* southern half of the atat* orecioitation
during th? 19c3-34 season was extremely low and in some sections late summer
rains ruined otherwise fair ran^e feed.
A most acute n-riod in the southern
part of the San Joaquin Valley came in &ay 1934 when drought conditions
forced thousands of cattle and sheep out of that area.
Sarly in the suiraer
of 19c4 the flow of the Colorado River wenidowa to the lowest lev3l on re
cord, which orought acute distress to the Imperial Valley where all plant and
aaimbl life deDends on water from the Colorado River.
The Imperial Valley
situation aggravated conditions in San Die^o County wher-1 stockmen follow the
oractice of moving stocic into Imperial Valley for graiing during the late
summer and fall.
In the mountain counties of the northeast section of tha
state, where wiater hay feeding is necessary, tiie 1934 hay crop was the
shortest on record and range conditions tnreatened movement of livestock beck
to nome r: nches earlier than usual*
Because of the foregoing 0/ July many California stockmen whos* live
stock #6s already in poor condition faced the livelihood of a grave feed
shortage during tae fall months.
As a result, during th-» summer 18 Cali
fornia counties were declared emergency areas.
When the fall season cane
on the gr»atly feared situation did not mater alize
Sarly fall rains
followed by favorable growing weather quickly eliminated drought ia the lover
tvltitudes an., favorable weather greatly alleviated the feed shortage in tho
mountain districts.
Therefore the drought relief program in California
was confined to small proportions when compared to many other states.
During the period from July 17 to November 19 * • • » total of 19,784
head of cattle were ourchased, of which number 1,655 animals were coadetuted*
During the period from September 26 to November 15 * * * a total of 23,523
head of ewes were purchased, of w..ich 6,687 ware condemned and t eir pelts
delivered.
T>ry little use w&a made in California of the emergency fead
and livestocic railroad ratesThrough the 3«ergeacy Croo Loan Section of
the Iarm Credit Administration and H. D. B0ue, State Supervisor, quite a
large numb r of emergency feed and livestock loans ware mada to •tocjcmea aad
farmers in the emergency areas.
Stockmen oartlclpatiag in the livestock ourchasiag program ware wall
satisfied with results and no serious complaints were registofted by them.
These men wer9 especially well pleased witn tae promptness of the San Fran
cisco and Leaver Audit offices in making payments t r their cattle and eheap
which were sold to the government.
..............................#...........
Throughout the livestock ourchasiag programs splendid cooperation
was maintained among all agencies and individuals involved. At times be
lated instructions caus d some delay but t is did not seriously aandicap
the pr gram in California.

COLORADO
m ediately following the Triple a organization, preparatory
to the purchase or drouth stricken cattle, all county extension
agents ware brought together in June, 1934, for information and
instruction on the program, cooperating with the Extension Service
was the Bureau of Animal Industry and the state Belief Administration
acting for federal Surplus Belief Corporation. Buying was carried
on in 58 Colorado counties.
Three fiold man from the State Extension Staff set up the
program in the different counties and instructed conxnltteemen on
the proper buying procedure. To Insure ready access to those in
charge of the program, an office was set up in Denver which handled
all correspondence, reports, and quotas. County quotas were issued
to provide a working basis. The price schedule as determined by the
administration was used at all times in Colorado. The buying prices
for the entire program were very conservative in the state.
Two outstanding results of this program wore the almost
unanimous approval of Colorado stockmen and definite price increases
following the reduction in eattle numbers. The program is still rated
as the best emergency program in recent years.
The sheep buying program started in Colorado September 15,
1934. Tbis program was carried in 53 counties and a total of
207,196 sheep were purchased. Of this number 101,064 were condemned,
in addition, 3,427 goats were purchased. The utmost satisfaction
with the program has been ej$resaed by sheepmen in the state.
in addition to the emergency livestock purchase program
mentioned above, a service of inestimable value to Colorado farmers
and stockmen was the emergency feed program initiated by colonel
Kurphy while in Colorado early in May of 1935, and as a result of
which large quantitiee of feed of various kinds were brought into
the drouth area from various sources of supply. We have not made
a compilation of the total amount of feed provided under this set-up,
but assume that detailed information is available in the office of
the Commodities purchase Section of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration at lashington.

From & financial
standpoint, the buying program was a benefit net only to
the cattlemen, by giving them funds to pay off obligations,
'out also to tne entire section*
This buying resulted in

IUAH'
*ne Idaho drought cattle and drought sheep purchase orograms
have been completed.
They represent, in ray judgment, a constructWe
enterprise ia the interest of the oerm&nent welfare of the livestock
industry of this state.
I feel th; t I represent the general sentiment in Idaho in
expressing my satisfaction with this program.
It met a real need at
a critical oeriod in the state's livestock industry.
It has saved
ma.y individuals from disastrous losses, and has been a constructive
force in retaining for the stfcie the best of its livestock breeding
herds.
The personnel consisted for the most oart of men regularly
employed for other duties, but temporarily assigned to the drought
cattle purchase orogram, togather with additional clerical help and
small, but carefully selected group o f county committeemen and
said field aopraisers and sortersIn many ca»e3 long hours were
required of all members of the staff, and considering the difficulties
involved in such a comprehensive program, tner 1 was a high degree of
effectiveness and efficiency.
I.
personally, was able to see some of the cattle appraising,
end looked over some of the cattle when delivered at points of
slaughter.
The cattle purchased in Iiaho unquestinably were cattle
in distressed condition because of the drought, and general success
was had in retaining animals valuable for breeding purposes, aad in
sending to slaughter those animal? that could best be soared from the
herds.
The same may be said of the sheep nurchase program.
In ny judgment, therefore, tnis program wa3 efiective, has
resulted in material strengthening of tne livestock industry as comoared with the losses that inevitably would have been suffered without
a purchase program, and has left the state's livestock industry in Its
present satisfactory condition.
fe are appreciative of the splendid
cooperation we have had froa the federal officers aad offices.

ILLINOIS
Twelve counties in Illinois were designated at Prissary and
cattle purchases were authorised up to a maximum budget of $43,000
2,£87 head were purchased for $43,650 in nine counties during Sep
tember and October 1934. Three counties did not oarticipate because
of late fall rains...................................
The railroads were very generous in granting reduced freight
rates to farmer® in need as a result of the drought. Two programs
of freight reduction, fr^m June 1st to Seoterober 4th, 1934 in 38
counties and from November 7th, 1934 to Vtay 31st, 1935, in 10 counties
resulted in savings of $147,210.57 on 50,417 tons of nay, straw, feed
and corn fodder.
Tjje Seed Stocks Committee o f the A. A. A. allocated 500,000
bushels of seed o.nts to Illinois*. A preliminary survey showed
780,000 bushels needed in the state above visible supplies* However,
prices were too high on Government seed and a very small quantity was
sold. 12,999 bushels were snipped t') four northern counties. The
balance was disposed of in other states.
Approximately 30,000 tons of Soybean hay was contracted for by
the Illinois Soybean Marketing Association on instructions from the
A. A. A. This was disposed of largely to the P.elief Administrators
of Hebrasca and Missouri. 259 tons of hay were snipped to Illinois
County Administrators and 272 tons to Pure Milk Association members,
a total of $31 ton*. These Illinois purchases were financed by the
Illinois roiral Rehabilitation Corporation*
Because of acute drought conditions in the "Dust Bowl* of the
southwest states, a nay survey was made by our office in Illlnole1,200 tons were listed and reports forwarded t~ the Federal Livestock
feed Agency in Kansas City.
A grant of $520,000 of federal funds was made to Illinois farm
ers In June 19 54 to provide feed and seed needed because of the droughtA Drought Loan orogram was started July 1, 1934 and by June 1, 1935
$6t8,475 was loaned for feed and seed.
At the completion of cattle ourchasee allowed by our budget,
there were many farmers still forced to sell cattle because of lack of
feed. To accomodate them we issued a bulletin sertlce listing
buyere and sellers of both cattle and hay to br ng them together.
1,300 buyers and sellers were listed and many ealee were made.

MINNESOTA
On June sixth, leas than one week after the program had been
approved by the leoretary of ngriculture, the first cattle were pur
chased in Minnesota. On June eleventh, August Haasler, a farmer in
Traverse county, Minnesota, received the firat check to be issued
by the government in the oattle purchase program* Hie first part of
the program extended through early October; it was renewed on January
tenth, extending to February firat***********************************
Cnly 23 counties participated in the sheep buying program* This
was due to the limited number of sheep on farms and the need of keeping
all available breeding stock* • • • • • • * • • • • • « • • * • • • • • • * • • • • • • • * • • • • • • •
The government oattle purchases did much to meet the drouth
situation* There still remained the necesaity of supplying feed for
the remaining livestock, and seed for most of the farms in the terri
tory* This is normally a feed and seed surplus area* There were no
dealers established for the purpose of distributing roughage, nor was
the total need of the area known, To meet the situation, a drouth
committee of three to five farmers was set up in all counties in the
state* In the worst drouth area a houae-to house canvass was made by
local coneiitteemen* Individual producers were assisted in filling out
feed and seed survey blanks and in making application for government
seed*
On the basis of the survey, plans were made for obtaining
roughage and other livestock feed* vhere necessary, feed depots were
established by the county committees in cooperation with the State
Emergency Relief i&ninistration* A total of 289,602 bushels of seed
wheat; 1,426,305 of oats; 348,332 of barley; and 56,240 of flax, sere
ordered by farmers in 32 counties* The orders sere compiled by the
oounty agents and forwarded to the Seed Jtocks Committee. Other
oounties made less extensive surveys* 3cme of them found their needs
could be cared for locally, and in others there was a surplus of grain,
A seed list frcra counties having surplus grains was sent to neighboring
counties rtiich had a shortage of seed.
The fine cooperation shown by the Washington office, the Agency
for Deficiency Distribution, the .State Ssergsncy Relief Administration,
and the Extension Jervice made it possible to winter necessary live
stock with a minimum of loss and suffering* Farmers are especially
appreciative of the work done by the Seed Stooks Committee* fthlle it
was Impossible to distribute all the seed ordered because of the
financial limitations, the leadership of this coesnittee is responsible
largely for the availability of sufficient ^ood seed for the state
needs at a reasonable price*

Cany lag out the emergency drought programs, auch aa the

hundred and fifty thousand head of cattle and approximately a half
Million head of sheep in Montana in 1934, would newer here been
possible without the beat coordination of efforte ewer exhibited on
the part of all cooperating agencies*
The Agricultural Adjustment Administration furnished ths funds
for livestock purchaee, and also necessary supplies, and through the
Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, all stock purchased were distrib
uted for slaughter*
the Bureau of Animal Industry had general charge of the cattle
movement, issued shipping permits, eared for condemnations, constantly
inspected for diseases, approved vouchers snd assisted In supervising
the appraisal program*
The State Brand Inspection Division passed upon brands, as
oettle were loaded, in exact accordance with coramrclal practice
and legal requireMents*
The Montana stockgrowere* and Woolgrowers* Associations gave
valuable assistance through state advisory eoomitteee made up of
representatives of each organization* These advisory committees,
together with the state and Assistant Director of the liveatock pur
chase program, met frequently throughout the buying period to consider
matters of policy, to make adjustments in procedure, and to consider
and approve county buying quotas*
The Montana extension service directed the purchase program,
through county advisory committees set up in each drought county, and
had general supervision of the entire purchase program for the state*
Determination of counties to be included in the drought area was
handled in cooperation with the Federal Crop reporting Office of the
state*
Vithout the eplendid cooperation and coordination of each
organisetion concerned with this wholesale purchase of livestock, it
would never have bean possible to curry out the progrem on the scale
that was necessary in Montana*

The eastern eide of the state of Nee Mexico ees the most serious
ly effected by the drought* Due to the fact that the western part of
the state is quite largely covered by forests, enabled the livestock
osners of this section to hold on to their cattle much longer than those
living in the eastern section*
in the latter part of November rains occurred over a considerable
portion of the state, resulting in a great many of the cattleman cancel
ing their applications to sell cattle in the drought program, because
they believed that range conditions would improve sufficiently for them
to hold over their stock* These rains did not last, however, and froete
came early, making it necessary for a number of these stockmen to again
make application and sell their stock*
When the program closed January 15, 1935, some rains had occurred
over most of the state, vegetation was thinned and weakened to such an
extent that much of the range area had not recovered as yet*
The county drought directors, state Extension workers and others
cooperated to the fullest extent with the Washington office in order to
put over a quick job, and only necessary help to accomplish this purpose
was employed. The emergency Belief Administration, Bureau of Animal
InduBtzy veterinarians,state stock Growers Association, State Livestock
and sanitary Board, and all state departments cooperated to the fullest
extent in expediting the entire program*
namely,
All counties in Hew Mexico participated In the drought program,
31 counties*
17,749 producers participated* ...........................
The draught program was very beneficial to New Mexico, as reins
have not been general, ranges are below normal, and the smaller number
of livestock have permitted the stock held to be kept in better condition*
Ranges in northeastern New Mexico are still far below nonaal* In
western New Mexico, particularly the northwestern and the southwestern
portions where conditions were fair last year, are getting quite poor
now* in southeastern New Mexico where early rains occurred, the ranges
are becoming dieslpated* The remainder of the state is slightly below
normal, excepting east central New Mexico where early rains and recent
rains have brought conditions to normal* Generally, feed crops are

The drouth relief purchase by the Government of
cattle and sheep in North Dakota, aad its nelp In bringing
in feed, was a great boons to North Dakota and our people
generally apnreciate it.
The relief buying made a market for the states live
stock that had to be sold.
A week before the Government
buyi ,g be^an "hawkers1* wer* offering three and four dollars
r>er head for cattle and a weefc after Government buying ceased
cattle sold at the packing plant for barely enough to pay the
transportation from the farm to the market.
The feed secured wintered our live-stock and we had a
few tons of straw left over.
Xt was very close Judgment to
gauge so well upon the requirement of a North Dakota winter.
Our federal statistician for North Dakota, Ban Keinhol*,
estimates that our live-stock average as high in condition on
July 1, 1935, as they have for the ten year period, which mean*
that toe drouth damage is healed, except for the reduction in
numbers•
The state's live-stock is greatly imoroved by the
culling which has ta&en place*
It is the first case th«t I
have observed, in a life time, where both the buyer and the
seller tried to take out the worst specimens in each herd*
It w a a state wide culling of herds and flocks*

OTTAHOHA
The arought during the summer and fall months of 1934 was without
question one of the moet severe this state has exp rienced. The Man
handle counties along the western side of the state wore the first to
suffer due to in#ufflatent rainfall and severedust storms. A survey
was made on July 20, and 21, 1934, and 21 counties were designated emer
gency drought counties* Cattle buying was started immediately. Con
ditions continued to grow worse, and in many sections of the ~tate the
livestock wore in a very ais tressed condition due to lack of stock water.
Ponds were drying up and wells were failing. It was nothing uncommon
for stock to he moved from four to eight miles a day for water. This
condition was pretty general ov-»r the state and even the counties having
some feed were suffering from lack of water. Duo to this, the remaining
66 counties were s?on designated as being in the emergency drought area.
During the latter yart of August and the middle of September, the
northern and central counties of the state had enough rain that it was
possible to put out late feed and this nelped to relieve the distressed
condition to a large extent in this section of the state.
The counties
along the western, southern, and eastern borders of tne state did not
^et sufficient rain to help materially in growing any late feed.
Tjae
water shortage was still acute, anl cattle buying had to be continued.
Cattle were ourchased in this state u: to February 1, 193b.
In the cattle buying program £03,469 cattle were purchased and the
money paid for these was $6,741,806.00. Of this number purchased
211,401 were condemned. Sheep were also purchased in this program aad
20 farms told 2,270 sheep to the government, all of »hich were condemned.
The farmers, as a whole over the state looked on thit program
very favorably. It taved many of them financial loss la that all live
stock taken were in a distressed condition and could not be taK.en car*
of. This progr m nelped the farmers of Oklahoma because the cattlo
reduction program was based upon a culling or weeding out procett of
undetirable animals. Improved herds will mean much to the building up
of t e future livestock industry of this state.
•••••*♦•••
The feed situation la this state, especially in the western oart,
is critical. Farmers in the Panhandle and adjoining counties have
raised no feed for their livestock and in a conference with county
agents of those counties it vat 1 arned thai ualett wt are able to
continue a triple A food program in those countlet, livestock will have
to be shlpoed out or sold as was the case in the cattle buying program
of last year.

Oregon.
Th“ drought service progrim in Oregon was extremely helpful to
owners of livestock in tneae emergency counties.
Without tne sale of
tnese eattls and sneeo to tne government, tnere would h.«ve been a h »avy
loss aue t^ the lack of summer grazing and oay for winter.
Practically
no hay regained in the drought areas at the end of tne winter.
The ffcrst
allotment for th* purchase of cattle in Oregon was $ 1 7 9 ,'0 0 and an addi
tional aoiount of $70,000 wai authorized Janu-ry 7 , 1936.
The promptness with w'iich tne vouchers were paid ia connection with
drought service activities was extremely helpful to the growers in carrying
on tneir ranching operationsVery often the checks in TJayment of vouchers
were back in the aands of tne growers i . a week* s time nnd seldom was it
necessary for toe producers to wait mor^ than ten days for payment.
Cooperation between tne livestock owners and uae various agencies
connected with tne dr ru*jht aervice, including banics,- 3.
. H. . and
. R. C., made it possible to carry tn* program through to a very
creditable couclusion.
^arly In tne season it was very apparent that stock water vould be
extremely snort in the ran^e area of tne ejQer^rency drought counties.
This
meant that a considerable amount of otherwise available range coula not be
utilised by st-'CK because of tnis l^.ctc of water.
The drought service in
cooperati «n witn tne a. £• H. A. drilled twenty-sev^n wells in s^ven of the
counties, at a cost ol $3,920 per well.
xhe water from these wells made
feed available for 263,000 sneen and 12,600 head of cattle.
In addition to tne /rell development, 300 spring* were improved ia
the sev^n counties at an average cost of 198.
These 300 soring* were of
service to 6°1 families and watered 1 9 ,4 8 0 head of cattle and 3 1 8 .4 0 0 sneeo.
As with the wells, the soring imovovement is of a permanent nature.
Con
crete walls hriv-* been uiIt, troughs for watering made of concrete and wood
were constructed and in -nany places rock retaining walls were built to
further protect the sorin s froa filling in.
Mucn more work of tnig same nature is needed at tne present time in
order to completely suoply tne ran " country with ample stock water.
There
i® an urgent call from stocjanen in all oerts of the dry areas in regon for
this tyoe of develooment.
The drought service program has been very popular with Oregon
stocxmen, not only because of tne relief it gav* during the immediate
emergency, but because of the permajient improvements that h v* resulted.

The Secretary of Agriculture must have been in league with
the elements for into the midst of thi* crop reduction program
there fell upon the middle and western states the most devastating
drought this nation has ever j&nown.
The country gave premise of
drying up and blowing away.
In fact -such of the crop
dry up
and the very soil upon wnich it grew _did blow away.
Here was
the croo reduction with a v ngeance.
That were tnese poor farmers
to do’
After all tne effort made in tneir behalf, were they to be
left with nothing but government cnectcs, and if so, how were their
cattle to survive
Again the government — now fully accustomed
to doing something to meet every emergency — steo^ei inCattle
must be ta*en out and feed brought in.
'o tne government insti
tuted a great feel buying and oattle selling program.
ho were to
do tuia woric"
Manifestly tne county agent was to be called on to
direct the cattle ourchase and tne feed distribution within the
county.
Time limits do not permit a detailed aiscussion of all tne
agencies called into play.
The federal government with its men in tn? 3ure*u oi Animal
Industry wa* to tafce charge and the work in th* field was to be done
largely by the extension service assisted oy farmers, locsl veter
inarians, feed dealers, and the liice.
As a net result, 50,000 head of surplus cattle were removed
from the stat1; and eignt and one-naif million dot’are* worth of feed
and seed were brought in ana delivered to farmers to help feed the
cactle remaining.
Our work with Colonel Murphy during tne oast year has been
pleasant and we have received splendid cooperation from him.
!, too,
regret to see him go but I am looking forward also to continued
pleasant relationshioe with hia in tne ?arm Credit Administration.

The yomlng Extension Service made a large contribution to the
Emergency Drouth Relief Program in fyoolng.
Under it# general super
vision wor* to give drouth relief to farmer* and stoc«cmen — surplus
oattie and sheep removal, tne mircha.se and distribution of feed for
drouth stricken areas was carried out..................................................
Toe ^uroh^se of surplus cattle proved a bigger ,1ob thaa any
other piece of wore that had come up unaer the Adjustment Program.
It required not only long hours of close application to tiue Job, but
tact in dealing with a*.eptic*l stocicmen, diplomacy in handling job
nuntera. scrupulous care in making reports and infinite patience in all
relation* with the public.
It is gratifying to report that i:at a
•ingle agent or »®er^ency assistant fell iovn on the Job.
So well did the buying machinery function in the countiee that
agents met or exceeded their oaily and weekly buying quotas and it ia
not too oucn to say tha; the worn ol agents and gs^islants in cattle
pureJ&>sing h a met with universal satisfaction on the oart of stockmen...
It is impossible to estimate the death losses that doubtless would have
resulted from a scarcity of food and water and the further financial
loss In glutted markets and slump in orice,had not the government
come to the relief o: stoctauen and inaugurated its ourcn^se osm aign.
Just about the title that cattle buying had reached its climax,
the campaign for removal of surolua cheep was launched.
The aame
general ty;e of organisation waa aet up to ourchaae the sheeo as nad
been used witn the cattle.
Representative aheeomea were employed.
A
daily buying quota of 1>,000 head per day was first established and as
tne number of counties buying sheep waa increased and as crews becas*
proficient in this work, the quota was Increased to 15,000.
The job
was done carefully and successfully in all counties aad a total of
686,773 sheep were mrchased from 1,625 different proiucers..................
As winter came oa making more acute the stockmen's needfor feed
In drouth areas, the Extension Service cooperated with the Federal live
stock feed agency at Kansas City in setting up a drouth service reaching
into all needy aectiona of tne itate.
The Birector of -xtensioa waa
designated State Agricultural Drouth Director and each agent was desig
nated County Agricultural Drouth Director in ais county.
A county
droutn committee made up of a prominent cattleman, a sheepman and a
farmer, was set to wor* with the county agent.
A feed and Seed survey
was made to determine the needa of the *toc£men and the feed resources
of the county.
This committee of wuich tne county agent waa secretary
