I' . AT 'gTHE 11
By PAUL DUNHAM
Washington, D. C, Aug. 21. Start
of work by the government on the
irrigating of 69,700 acres in the
Grand Coulee area waits only on the
signing of contracts with irrigation
districts for repayment of the costs.
Negotiations for the contracts are
now in progress. This is the first
step toward reclamation of the 1.-
200,000 acres in the project, and it
is estimated that about 1966 all the
irrigable land in the area will be
watered. First start will be made on
15,300 acres in the south district;
27,000 acres in the Quincy-Colum-bia
district, and 27,000 acres in the
east district. On these three areas
water is expected in three years, the
bureau having authority to spend
$2,000,000 on the initial program, the
building of a pumping plant and an
equalizing reservoir.
Examination has been made and
blueprints drawn for a dam and
res-voir in the Portholes, ' south of
. Moses lake, to recapture water af
ter it has been used for irrigation.
The Portholes are sand dunes which
cannot be reclaimed. The public
lands bureau has withdrawn 11,500
acres for the dam and reservoir and
these will be constructed later.
Somewhere in the Grand Coulee
program there will be a write-off
of part of the construction charges
to lighten the load on settlers.
Senator Wheeler's use of his frank
to distribute one mill postcards call
ing, in effect, for a referendum on
war, recalls the opposition to pre
vailing extensive use of this priv
ilege so frequently voiced by Jim
Farley while he was postmaster gen
eral. Mr. Farlev insisted he could
save the government a vast sum of
money if the congressional frank
was used legitimately for official
mail of members. (One congress
man used his frank to send his
laundry home each week).
The presidential order fixing a
ceiling for raw sugar is probably the
first of others to follow until such
time as congress provides a price
restriction set-up by enactment of
one of the several bills now beine
considered, and it is expected that
discussion of these measures will
furnish the real riot of the session.
Neither of the measures so far pro
posed is satisfactory, but the ad
ministration intends to prevent in
flation and some kind of price fix
ing will be necessary. What OPM
does not Ike is OP ACS stepping in
and curtailing production. Office of
Production Management insists the
price fixing function belongs to it.
Indicative of improved conditions
on the farm, the Farm Credit admin
istration reports that about one-
fourth of all farms held for sale by
the banks as a result of foreclosures
in the past seven years were sold
in the first six months of this year.
An increase in farm sales also is re
ported by Federal Farm Mortgage
corporation for which Federal land
banks have handled first and second
mortgages during the past eight
years. For the first time since 1934
the Federal Land banks are now
holding less than $100,000,000 worth
of farms, or 19 percent less than
their holdings one year ago.
000 kilowatts, making it the largest
! hydroelectric development in the
world.
Contract for the three additional
150,000 horsepower turbines is at a
price of $1,880,000 and for the three
governors with pumping equipment
to regulate the speed of the tur
bines the price is $82,992. Of the in
itial three-unit installation one goes
into operation this month, the sec
ond in December and the third in
March, 1942.
Impatiently awaiting approval by
the senate and signature bv the
president, the ' navy department
wants to rush building materials and
supplies to two small, rockv islands I
in Alaska for weather stations. One
will be on Kanaga island, the other
on Kiska island. These stations are
to be completely equipped with sci
entific instruments, two officers,
barracks for the small personnel,
mess, laundry, etc. It will cost $85.-
000 to establish each of these look
outs, and this is regarded as dirt
cheap, for reports Vrom these sta
tions may save a navy seaplane
costing more than the installation.
The department has not much time
to build the outposts, for winter
will soon set in and observations
from the stations will be required
at the earliest possible moment.
Illustrative of the time required to
manufacture major electrical equip
ment is the anouncement that of the
three additional generating units
which have been ordered for Grand
Coulee, delivery of the first turbine
is not promised until 500 days from
date of letting the contract, the sec
ond in 530 days and the fourth in
620 days. The three units will not
have been installed and in operation
before the fall of 1943, at which
time the plant capacity of Grand
Coulee will be 648,000 kilowatts. The
ultimate installation planned is 18
units with a final capacity of 1,974

You re in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
And when you learn the price, you'll wonder
how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor
that sells for so little.
In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low
cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel
on the many jobs within its power range, as would
larger tractors handling the same load.
