B. Tuggle, a newcomer to Emporia from Scott City, who Is living in the Kennedy apartments, reports that the migration from the hot, dry dustbowl section of western. Kansas is much greater now than during or immediately following the dust storms. Mr. Tuggle, who has lived around Garden City, Lakin and Scott City for 50 years, believes that relief will be needed more the coming winter in some sections of western Kansas than last year.

Many of the persistent residents who were determined last spring to stick it through have lost hope and are ready to leave the country, said Mr. Tuggle. Around Scott City the prospects for a forage crop are gone. With the exception of green irrigated tracts and a narrow belt on the south of the Arkansas river in the sand hills, little growing vegetation is seen. Mr.

Tuggle reports that the present summer temperatures have been normal and that the nights are cool, but only a little rain has fallen since early in June. Cattle, which were stricken during the seige of the dust storms last spring, still are dying from the after-effects, Mr. Tuggle said. A Cow Ate Dirt.
