WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. 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."
