Seeking lands on which to estab lish 700 destitute Cleveland families as tenant fanners. Harry Woodson and his FER A assistants began yes terday tp interview Cleveland coun ty farmers, making a preliminary survey to determine how much land can be rented, and where. Full instructions about how to deal for this land have not been receiv ed from headquarters. It is under stood that the tenants are to pay for it by working for the landlords, and that wherever possible, idle lands are to be put into use. To Be Self-Supporting With the CWA abandoned and a thing of the past now, the relief problem is focussed directly on fam ilies which have absolutely no means oT gaining a livelihood.

These destitute people must be fed in some manner, he points out, and it is better to help them regain their self-respect by allowing them to earn their own livings. Mrs. E. J.
