Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of 70, 000 Rural Rehabilitation Families With the inauguration of the Federal Emergency Relief Program in the fall of 1933, little differentiation could be made by those in charge between the types of assistance given to rural and urban families. In an effort to meet the pressing needs, and since adequate consideration could not be given to specific needs caused by varying conditions, aid was granted to distressed farm and um employed city residents on a similar basis. Among the very first calls for assistance to farmers were the needs for fertilizer, seeds, feed, and even subsistence goods, caused by the severe drought of the Southwest and the Central Great Plains region. Next came the demands for work as well as direct aid from the poorer farming sections like the Lakes States cut-over and the Appalachian Highlands as means of getting many disadvantaged families through the winter. Finally, there were requests for capital loans at reasonable rates whereby numerous farmers could in a con structive way get back on a self - supporting basis. Even people in the most productive agricultural areas were ready for this kind of assistance. Experience with the program during the fall and winter of 1933 soon convinced those who were administering relief that farmers needed a type of aid quite different from that extended to other worthy families. They needed help not only to tide them over an all - time low in agriculture but to become re established as self - respecting citizens on an acceptable standard of living and to become normal purchasers in their communities. Zif provided with-seeds, fertilizers, tools, livestock, and perhaps even land, they could again raise their own foodstuffs and provide their clothing and other necessities of family living. In other words, they could keep off the relief rolls or work their way out of emergency - dole situations.
