In the onininn of Dr. Elwood Mead, recla mation commissioner, expressed in testimony before the house appro priations sub-committee. "The greatest obstacle to develop ments, particularly on northern pro jects." he said in discussing the por tion of the annual interior depart ment's appropriation bill, "has been lack of capital on tne pan oi pros pective settlers. Under the regula tions a settler must have at least $aoo0 in cash or As equivalent in livestock, farming equiment or other assets deemed to be as useful to the settler as cash. "Most of the settlers approved have between $2000 and $3000. This is recognised as an entirely inade quate amount to develop raw land Into a producing iarm." Economic investigators, the com missioner added, agreed that an ex penditure "of $5000 to $8000 is need ed to change eighty acres of sage brush land into a farm. To succeed a settler needs tnis capilal or to be able to supplement his smaller capital by enough credit to enable this development work w be carried tiut promptly," he con tinued. "This credit should be of an entirely different character from that which -is furnished or can be furnished by country banks. The time of payment should be longer, the Interest rate lower and on the amortized plan." Data available on the application of 1500 prospective settlers last year for information about opportunities on the land showed that more than sixty percent had available capital of from $500 to $2500 and less than 25 percent had available capital be tween $2500 and $5000, he said.
