Particulars Regarding Shipment
Into Drought Stricken Area of
Oklahoma Received by State
Council of Defense
GOVERNMENT EXHIBITS
INTEREST IS GROWING
Oklahoma City, Aug. 23.—Confir-
mation of the action of the director
general of railroads in authorizating
« special rate on shipments of straw
into the drought-stricken counties in
Oklahoma, which was referred to in a
telegram from Congressman Jim Mc-
Clintir Wednesday night, was receiv-
ed yesterday by Chester Westfall of
the council of defense in a telegram
from P,. F. Bush, railroad regional di-
rector at St. Louis.
A 50 Percent Refund
Mr. Bush advises that straw and
other feed stuff destined for drought-
stricken counties will be billed at the
regular tariffs and consigned to some
authorized representative of the fed-
eral or state departments of agricul-
ture. Later 50 percent of the rate
■will be refunded, thus giving a rate
of one-half the regular rate on such
commodities.
It is believed- by Mr. Westfall and
other officials of the council of de-
fense that this action will go a long
way toward relieving the situation in
many counties.
Straw in Northwest
There is an abundance of fresh
straw in the northwest part of the
state, which is not so badly affected
by the drought, which can be sent in-
to counties where feed is scarce.
It is planned by the council of de-
fense. as soon as detailed instructions
are received by mail, to start the
movement of a large quantity of this
straw in to the counties where it is
needet most.
