Present indications are that no extra session of the legislature will be called to take up the matter of relief and loans for drouth stricken farmers. Representative Mark Lukens of Bloomfield sent a questionnaire to members of the legislature and 82 out of 92 written reported in favor of an extra session. Lukens' questionnaire mentioned relief but did not mention the proposal of a $2,000,000 feed loan. Governor Bryan has had telephone messages and letters from some of those on the Lukens list who state that they would not now favor a special session.
