Afterwards Ellsworth said lie was "optimistic" over chances that a supplemental request will he sent to Congress, asking funds for the project. 1 "Apparently the bureau didn't have either the latest figures or all Ihe figures showing justifica tion for the project," he said. Ellsworth said the bureau had rejected the project because of data indicating "the government would be footing part of the cost as a subsidy whereas irrigation projects are required to pay out with a margin to spare." " The Oregon representative said Jackson would work with the Bu reau of Reclamation, then submit complete, and up-to-date data. This will be only a matter of days, the congressman said. ' ' . Ellsworth also said a typing error in a Department of Agricul ture reoort had reduced the Talent proiect's return per acre by sev eral dollars. In addition more than 8.000 acres to be 'irrigated had been classified as grassland with a low-income return, instead of orchard land with a higher return, he said.
