Old and New Meet Trains of yesterday and today come to
gether on a railroad trestle near Kecmie station in Plumas
county, Calif., during ceremonies commemorating the driving
of the final spike in the Western Pacific Railroad in 1909.
A ruby-studded spike was driven in the same position as the
final spike to symbolize the railroad's 40th anniversary. The
trains are, left to right: "The Jupiter," old wood-burning
engine once used on the Virginia and Truckce Railroad; the
ultra-modern California Zephyr, and the "Old 94," the engine
that hauled the first passenger train over the line. (Acme

AT SUGGESTION OF TRUMAN
Congress May Consider New
Scale for Family -Size Farm
By WILLIAM E. LOWELL
Washington, Nov. 7 W) Congress probably will be asked next
year to write a new description of the "family-size" farm.
That seems to the reclamation bureau to be the import of Presi
dent Truman's comment in vetoing the bill to waive the excess
land provisions of the reclamation law for part of Colorado's San
Luis Valley project.
Mr. Truman said Congress
should consider amending the
law "so as to authorize appro
priate adjustments in maximum
acreages, where necessary, under
carefully worked out standards,
which could be applied not only
to the San Luis Valley project
but also to other projects in
which some adjustments may be
warranted."
"1 think the language of the
President's veto message indi
cates Congress must set up new,
specific standards to meet new
conditions we arc encountering
In the west," said E. D. Eaton,
assistant director of the bureau's
operations and maintenance
branch.
souri river to the Pacific coast
is obviously the "toughest" part
of the job before Congress, Eaton
said.
Congress has not attempted to
do that.
The bureau has nothing of the
kind "in the mill."
When the reclamation law was
enacted in 1902, it provided that
no settler could own more than
160 acres, or a husband and wife
more than 320 acres of irrigable
land. Detailed studies had fixed
that area as sufficient for the
support of a farm family on pub
lic lands then considered suscep
tible of irrigation development.
Congress has waived that pro
vision for only three projects:
The Truckee river storage and
Humboldt projects in Nevada
and the Colorado Big Thompson
In Colorado. It has refused sev
eral times to expand the farm
unit measure on other projects.
There has been opposition to
expansion of the farm unit from
congressmen from reclamationi
states and protest from reclama
tion leaders throughout the west.
The federal money used for
project construction is advanced
to the irrigation district under a
contract for repayment, without
Interest. The fear among rec
lamationlsts is that any abandon
ment of the "family size" farm
idea would arouse opposition
from the east and south, which
would wipe out the interest-free
advantage reclamation now en
Joys. But the type of reclamation
project has changed in recent
years. Much of the better class
of irrigable land is already un
der water. On the newer proj
ects, there Is likely to be con
siderable land suitable for hay
and pasture, rather than truck
garden and orchards.
The yield can be improved by
irrigation but it takes more ac
reage to support a family. Hence
the demand for new "family
farm" standards.
Settling on new standards
which could be applied any
