MONTANA STATE COLLEGE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION |^ BOZEMAN nl f^ U EXECUTIVE OfficE. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUUTURAl- ECONOMICS August 25, 1932^'" Governor John E. Erickson Capitol Building Helena, Montana Dear Govemor Erieksont I returned yesterday and stopped in at your office to make a personal report on wy trip to Washington but found that you were at the Fair at the Falls. I shall probably be in Helena sometime next week and will at that time give you a more coniprehensive report. The summary of results are about as follows: I had a long conference with Shepard of the Red Cross who informed me that he was very skeptical if the national organization would return to the state to render assistance to the ncctheast counties. He expressed it privately and on the basis of his judgment that if the national organization were to return it would expect that the contribution with ^ich it might carry on relief action would have to come from Montana and not from national head¬ quarters. He, therefore, suggested that I convey to you the idea that it would probably be unwise for you to request the return of the Red Cross at this time. The performance at Washington was very similar to that of last fall. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Milloy were present, Govemor Shafer was there part of the time and likewise a repres^itative of Governor Green from South Dakota. Secretary Hyde made a trip through North and South Dakota about three weeks ago. My understanding is tiiat he got as far northwest as Minot, that he had something of a picture of the situation which prevails all over the state because of low prices and in noEtheast Montana because of the drouth. He told me that he considered it unwise to designate a drouth area where the yields would be below a minimum level, say of 6 bushels per acre, for the reason that if this were done he would receive requests for like action all over the country. He stated that he would send
