whch the government should have
never opened for sttlement and In
vited the homesteader to Invest his
time and money In tracts that were
impossible and In no way feasible
for farming. These lands were
cleared and settled only after the
government had declared by action,
if not words, that the lands were
practical for farming. Now the
government has begun to realize
their mistake and no doubt the
owners of these lands will have to
suffer financially by them and have
nothing to show for their investment
but a whale of a lot of experience.
But the elimination of these num
ber six lands from the project In no
way effects the better and product-

make them more valuable, the bur
den of the unproductive lands being
lifted. The article is .unfair* ^nd
unethical as It leaves room for an
Impression that Is entirely false and
a misrepresentation.
If the reclamation officials at
Washington. D. C., are intent on
boadcasting such information as this
through the mcropolitan dallies it
should at least be explained in such
a manner that the public will have
no reason to gain a false Impression

ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS ASKED
BY RECLAMATION BUREAU
Capital Held Essential. New R epi-
Iations for Settlers on Feder
al Irrigation Project* is

Assurance that settlers selected
for federal Irrigation projects in ac
cordance with the 1924 reclamation
law shall be able to make a suc
cess of their efforts Is sought by
regulations which will govern such
selections announpd Monday by
Hubert Work, secretary of the Inter

equipment or livestock, and have nt
least two years’ actual experience

each federal project shall have a
local examining board of three or
more members who will make the
selections.
The new regulations apply only to
settlement of those portions of the
reclamation areas which are publie
lands, and not to such sections a*
are acquired by prospective settler*
through purchase from land compan
ies or other holders. Over those the
federal government has no control.
Chief among the rules which are
to govern selection) of irrigation
farmers who come under Jurlsdict-
tlon of the Interior department are
the following:
Each applicant for entry of such
public lands, including ^u^fe*rence
right ex-service men, and successful
'ontestants under the act, shall file
an application with the bureau of
reclamation which, among other
things, must slate with respect to
the applicant his or! her age, status

ed and may also Include a scond and
hiid choice, and when practicable,
the choice of a fully qualified appli
cant will be approved.
,
The minimum requirement as to
capital and experience shall not ap
ply when the unit applied for Is 10
acres of less in area and the appli
cant can show to the satisfaction
ofl the examining hoard that the
development 0? the farm is feasible
from the capital the applicant may
reasonably be expected to obtain as
a wage earner.
An examining board of three
members or more shall serve for a
period of one year, or until their
successors are appointed. Each sup
erintendent Is requested to submit
recommendations for membership on
the board of examiners for his pro
tect at the earliest practical date.
The examining board shall note
the date of receipt by It of each ap
plication filed, and Interview the
applicants who appear before It, to
determine the qualifications of
prospective settlers. Careful In
vestigation shall be made to verify
statements and presentations made
by applicants (o the end that no
misunderstanding may prevail either
as to the applicants fitness or his
appreciation of the problem before
him.
The board's decision as to the
relative qualifications of each appli
cant, based upon a percentage rat
ing of the elements of industry, ex
perience, character and capital, shall

decision be made to the secretary of
