DROUGHT SCENES IN AMERICA
Declaring that most of the drought-stricken ares of the West and North-west, comprised a "dust. bow?** and was unfit for agricultural development, the United States Government, under the direction of Mr. Harry Hopkins, Relief Administrator, has transplanted the population to more arabie sections. These photographs Illustrate the plight of the territories that were affected last mouth. At the top is a view of the parched lands in South Dakota from which cattle, such as shown (left), were shipped to unaffected areas at the Government's expense. The picture at the right is eloquent testimony of the destruction wrought on crops in Oklahoma's corn-belt, where grasshoppers ravaged the felds. The arrows show how the grasshoppers concen trated on cornstalks.

Scenes like this were all too common last month, in the sun drenched Dakotas where the Re- settlement Administration photo- grapher was busy at Pennington, South Dakota. The Government has since bought land in this section for replanting with bar- ley grasses in an effort to fight drought.
Here is a typical family in last month's drọnght in America, their baby playing in a homemade pizy-pen, who, together with thousands of others like them, were transplanted by the Resettlement Administration to more arable lands. Their farm was located near Baterville, Arkansas.
