D. were received Friday at Seventh corps area headquarters. The decision to abohdon Fort Lincoln, officers saia. was in line with Pres ident Hoover's request for a decrease in army expenditures.

Drouth and insect ridden sections in the northwest and central states were told by President Hoover today they would have the help of the govern ment in meeting the situation. In a statement issued after he had left for his Rapidan camp, Mr. Hoo ver said he had directed the depart ment of agriculture to co-operate in meeting the problems caused by la:k of rain and a plague of grasshoppers. It is the second time within two years that drouth in some section of the country has impelled governmen tal assistance. The president said the department ic engaged In a resurvey in sections ct .Montana, Aortn anu faoutn Da kota, Iowa, Nebraska and Minne sota. About $15,000,000 Remains. Presumably, necessary assistance will be given from the available resi due of the 20 million dollars voted bv congress early this year for farm rehabilitation as a result of the drouth which devastated portions of the southern states. About 15 mil lion dollars of this remains. An apparently optimistic view of the situation was taken by Mr. Hoo- er. He said that the problem was minor compared with that last year and added it would be taken care of. The president said: "I have directed officials of the department of agriculture to undertake, in co-operation with local and state authorities, such co-operation as may be neces sary to meet the situation created by local drouth and grasshopper destruction in the northwestern and central states. The department is engaged fn a survey in the light of the changes in the last two weeks. The area affected embracescer tain counties in Montana. North and South Dakota, and local sections of Iowa. Nebraska and Minnesota. Some Assistance Given. "While suffering within the areas affected is acute, the ex tent of the drouth and damage is comparatively minor to that which we confronted and sur mounted last year. The federal government has already extend ed assistance in some portions of those localities and the Red Cross is actively engaged in re lief work. "Secretary Hyde is in touch with the situation. "National and local resources are available and the problem will be taken care of." .The survey, under the direction of extension directors in the states mentioned, may be completed with in a week or 10 days. Its findings will be the basis for further action. Rain Reports Encourage. An encouraging factor today was renort of rain in sections of North Dakota. Montana and South Dakota pastures mav be renewed for the summer if rain continues, although some aid probably would be needed in the fall and winter. Relief loans from government funds have been made in North Da kota and Montana and a decision on requests from South Dakota may come soon. The loans outstanding. however, have a time limit or Aug ust 15 and their extension may be necessary. Repeated requests for the agricul ture department lor ninos to use in combatting the grasshoppers have! been met by the statement tnat no money was available lor that pur pose. World-Herald.
