pamphlet said. “We have now reached a time in the development of this country when much more careful consideration must be given to water supply than has been given in the past, or serious consequences will result. The disasterous effects of recent droughts in the arid and setmaric! states in a large measure have been due to failure to give adequate itudy to the relation of water supply to development. “With the growtn of the country dcterimental effects of droughts increase, and they will continue to in- ■ lease unless a propel (elation between water supplies and requirements is established and maintained “It is not sat' to assume that Iroughts of greater severity than ! 'hose recorded will not occur, and ■veil if they are not more severe as measured in dcficiem v in water and , length their economic effects will be jieatei as utilization of and demands for water are increased. The maximum development and successful use of all natural resources can be accomplished only oiv the basis of full and •(‘liable information as to water supplies. with spoi ial emphasis on drought periods, and. in order that this information may be available it is essential that adenuate provision be made for the collection of systematic records of the nation's water re-

sources.”

Hoyt explained that since droughts are natural phenomena there is nothing that men can do to modify their

occurrence However, he added that the economic losses resulting from water shortage relate to activities that man can control. “It is possible for man to do much : toward the alleviation of such losses | by the conservation of available I water supplies by storage, by cl/ieiency in all uses of water, and by the ’ adjustment of activities ttiat depend upon water to available supplies and

Surveying the serious droughta for the five-year period, Hoyt said tiiat l lie liumi'l at ales were seriously aflected in I9.'i0 and the semi-arid arras underwent a major drought in 1934. The humid regions had minor 'Iroughts in l!t::i and 19.;4 while the semi-arid sections hud minor ones in 1931 und 193::. Thus I9.:2 was th“ only ycai in the half decade in which some region did not suffer a drought. The hydraulic engineer quoted the following “constructive program" worked out by Arkansas officials to save f.irnicrs from the greater ravages of drought, which Hoyt said was applicable generally: “To raise enough grain and hay to feed all livestock. ‘To produce enough meat to sop
