DROUGHT HASTENS ABOUT-FACE BY AAA ON CURBING CROPS.

Tugwell Says Farm Policy Can Be One of Expansion as Well as One of Restriction.

WORLD WHEAT PACT IS DIM,

That Grain Passes Dollar Mark in Chicago as Record Heat Burns Rainless Fields.

Special to The New York Times

WASHINGTON, May 31.—Confronted with an unprecedented drought which gives every prospect of major destructiveness to crops and livestock in the West and Northwest, an about face by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration on some of its production restriction policies was foreshadowed today. Coupled with this situation was uncertainty over the International Wheat Agreement.

Gradually increasing in intensity for several months, the drought has affected thirty-five States from the Rocky Mountains to New England, including Western New York. There is no relief in sight, J. B. Kincer, chief of the division of climate and crop weather of the Weather Bureau, said today.

Meanwhile, the prospective crop damage sent wheat above the dollar mark in the Chicago market today, while corn touched 61 cents, or 16 cents above the amount which the government lent to farmers on that crop.

Of the thirty-five States twenty of them are described as ‘‘severely affected.” In the other ten the condition is labeled ‘‘chronic.”

CHICAGO, June 2 A heat wave beyond anything that the United States has experienced before blazed unabated Saturday over two-thirds of the nation,

Cattle died on barren and waterless ranges, crop losses grew by the thousands of dollars hourly, water supplies of great cities were threatened and human suffering was intense as temperatures soared for the sixth successive day,

Except in a few sections no rain has fallen, but predictions of “possible showers” have cheered farmers.

Surveying crop reports from the entire Northwest, Dean W, C, Coffey of the Agricultural School of ng University of Minnesota, fed farm relief, director for a dozen states, predicts that continuation of the drouth for two weeks will bring a feed shortage.”

“A HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA FLOODS AND DROUGHT.
BY J. M. GUINN.

{Read March 4, 1889.)

After the deluge, what? The drought. It began in the fall of 1862, and lasted to the winter of 1864-65. The rainfall for the season of 1862-62 did not exceed four inches, and that of 1863-64 was even less. In the fall of 1863 a few showers fell, but not enough to start the grass. No more fell until March. The cattle were dying of starvation. Herds of gaunt, skeleton-like forms, moved slowly over the plains in search of food. Here and there, singly or in small groups, poor brutes, too weak to move on, stood motionless with drooping heads slowly dying of starvation. It was a pitiful sight. In the long stretch of arid plain between San Gabriel and the Santa Ana there was one oasis of luxuriant green. It was the vineyards of the Anaheim colonists kept green by irrigation. The colony lands were surrounded by a close willow-hedge, and the streets closed by gates. The starving cattle, frenzied by the sight of something green, would gather around the inclosure and make desperate attempts to break through. A mounted guard patrolled the outside of the barricade day and night to protect the vineyards from incursion by the starving herds.

The loss of cattle was fearful. The plains were strewn with their carcasses. In marshy places and around the cienegas, where there was a vestige of green, the ground was covered with their skeletons, and the traveler for years afterward was often startled by coming suddenly on a veritable Golgotha—a place of skulls—the long horns standing out in defiant attitude, as if protecting the fleshless bones. It is said that 30,000 head of cattle died on the Stearns Ranchos alone. The great drought of 1863-64 put an end to cattle raising as the distinctive industry of Southern California.”

On March 31, 1981 Colorado’s John Hinckley walked up to President Reagan and tried to shoot him at point blank range. I remember that time very well for several reasons. My sister was Jodie Foster’s suitemate at Yale.  The experience was devastating for Jodie Foster and largely ruined her college experience.

The following week I took a canoe trip down the Green River in Utah with a friend from Santa Fe and a couple of her Mormon friends from Utah. Her friends were named John and Bern Hinckley. John was having a lot of trouble using his credit cards that week.

I was in the front of the canoe wearing shorts and a t-shirt when a storm blew in.  Cold waves were coming over the bow and I got cold very quickly, but we were unable to get to shore because of thick Salt Cedar growth along the banks. Salt Cedar was brought in from the Middle East for erosion control, and quickly became a complete mess.

Eventually we found a sand bar and were able to make a fire.  By that time I had hypothermia and the Mormons tried to cheer me up by singing hymns like “Coffee and tea have we none.” Mormons aren’t supposed to drink hot drinks.

Having recently lost his CCP funding, Andrew Dessler is working on new ways to act ridiculous.

“I never go into these things with the idea that I’m going to convince them, because if you do that, you’re going to set yourself up for disappointment.”

“I never go into these things with the idea that I’m going to convince them, because if you do that, you’re going to set yourself up for disappointment.”

In 2013, Dessler said climate science hasn’t changed since 1896.

“one could argue that climate science has not significantly changed since it was first hypothesized that combustion of fossil fuels could change the climate — in 1896.”

On June 1, 1903 Gainesville, Georgia was largely destroyed by a tornado which killed one hundred people, while Kansas City was devastated by flooding.
