To Designate Millard For Drought Relief In response to a great number of inquiries regarding drought feed relief, Chairman of the County Commissioners Golden H. Black contacted Senator Wallace F. Bennett and received the follow ing information. Millard County has been rec-commended rec-commended to to be designated a drought area by the County Commissioners to Governor J. Bracken Lee. The governor has recommended to the president that supplies, feeds and loans be made available.. The president is having the agriculture department check the area at this time. If the agriculture agricult-ure dept., recommends that assistance assist-ance be given, then cotton seed cake, pellets, corn and oats will be made available at around $35.00 per ton. It is believed that word will come through later in this week, stating that Millard county, along with several other Utah counties will be declared eligible to receive drought assistance funds and also al-so loans It will take about three weeks from the time the area is declared to receive feed assistance until the feeds will be available here. . The sheepmen are especially hard hit as the west desert has suffered severe drought, and it appears there is very little winter feed. Many of the cattlemen had to bring their cattle in from summer range in July and August because of such poor dry range conditions. As a result they have already used their fall pastures and some of their winter feed. The local county PMA will probably prob-ably administer the program when it is approved.
