Adop tion of a cercfully planned policy for colonization of Irrigation projects to be constructed In the future was urg eel by lr. 11 wood jleaa. commission er of reclamation, in a speHaPnport be submitted to Secretary Work yes terday upon his return from a 0000- mile inspection trip in the west. He visited projects In Utah, Nevada, California, Washington, Oregon, Mon tana, Idaho, Wyoming and N bruskn. "On each proponed new project, an economic survey has been orgnnized under the direction of (1. C. Krentzer. director of the division of farm econo mics," said th report. t , Colleges Are Helping, In fhis survey the co-operation of the Btutq agricultural colleges of Utah,' Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington nnd Idaho has been se currd and these Institutions have generally extended the services of ex perts on soils and farm management. These experts nre now engaged in working out the problem of what water for irrigation Is. worth In the districts of their states where the proposed projects arc locatxd and what It will cost settlers to change raw land Into improved form. When the experts have reached their con clusions on all of the proposed pro jects, they are to be submitted to local committees of bankers, farmers and biminess men for their sugges tions ns to costs and methods of de vclopment Expense Is Considered. Kvery factor that would lessen ex pense and hasten development of in come roust be cons:d:red. While water charges must, in the end, come from irrlgnted crops, irrigation works that nro not followed promptly', by irri gated agriculture are a financial' bur den tn land owners. Lond delayed igriculturnl development has wrecked more of these (enterprises than ? n other causes combined." The costlier the work the more importnnt It is that this fact bo recognized." Dr. Mead pointed that hereafter at tention must be given to where nnd how money need d in agricultural de velopment Is to bo obtained; where and how settlers nre to be obtained, and how tJie settlers must be aided nnd directed to enable' them to use their money, effort and time, to befit advantage. Superintendent Suggested. "In order that the farmers may succeed, a practical business superin tendent who has a knowledge of fnrm conditions should be employed to plnn settlement and advise settlers," said Dr. Mead. "For the past six months I iiave been studying the causes for increnslng'nrrenrs of pay ments on federal irrigation projects. One renson has been extreme agricul tural depression, which, however, is temporary and may be ignored. There nre other reasons which we must consider. One of these is the terms on which settlers have bought farms nnd the prie s they have paid for them. Another' Is lack of capital and the Urk of other nualifications indispen sable to success in agriculture. The evidence ' conclusive that we must In the., future pay more attention to settlement problems and the qualifi cations of settlers, if we are to escape complications and losses w&t will dis if not terminate this policy. "What I iare seen in the last 15 .rears of those achievements of plan ned settlement and financed farm de velopment in other countries compelB me to realize that we are ignoring tb? most valuable feature of reclamation, nnil a few demonstrations like the col onization plan I propose will assure the success of reclamation in toe iu ture."
