Th vital importance of devising a dot- , Inlte program for utllliation of tho country's Idle lands wherever lo cated for the purposes for which they are best sntled and most needed and . the necessity tor all Interests In tha south to organize and vigorously prosecute a movement for expansion of the federal reclamation . policy , Into national ccope, so that the settle ment of her Idle, cut-over, swamp and overflowed lands, were empha sized by Clement S. Ucker, of Baltl more'and Savannah, president Soutn- ern Settlement and Development Or ganization, In hla address, here today at the opening of the Forestry,. Rec lamation & Home-Making confer- ence. ' '.-';' ' Ucker'a subject was '.'V'hj We Are i Here." He briefly recited the history of reclamation In this country and, what has been accomplished in tho west, told of the plans and prospect ,i of the western section for further legislation on the subject, mentioned , the need of the south for si mflar de velopment aha Hie-tropte'4hta tee-.., Hon facei and asked the ;ques- , tlon: 'What la the South going. to do about It " . i - ' -v ' Age of Migration. r"' "We are living today In the midst of a great migration or readjustment of the while race,? said Ucker.' "It is literally the last great migration of the Trihte -race, ind ws are not . able to fully appreciate Its magnl- . tude or sense Its tremendous Impor ' tance to our country ond Its Institu tions, unless we try to rise above.: it and view It from the heights. ' "About 1900 the tide of migration. literally speaking,, reached" the Pa cific; during the onward march It': had absorbed nearly all the readily available or readily asslmable public lands. The westward stream still was running strong, but the outlet had ' become clogged. The . prairie .lands were gone. The grazing lands hail been absorbed. Nothing was left, but timbered lands or arid and seml-arla tracts." ' Ho mentioned how the tide of Eu ropean Immigration had spread to the north and wost and .but llttlo of It bad been deflected south, and how as the "ready to plow" public lands had bocn exhausted attontlon was" turned to reclaiming a'ld and seml nrld tracts for agriculture through irrigation, as those lands were -fort lit ana lacked only mobituro tp mako'. them capablo of producing , crops. .! Agitation for utilization of thnsi lands, he said, culmlnuted in enacts ment ot the reclamation act of July. 1902, which provided that all monies derived from sale of public, lands should be set aside as n reclamation tund to be used for construction of Irrigation works to carry water onto arid and semi-arid tracts. This ac was applicable tp 18 western states.' "Two outstanding features distin guished the federal reclamation net.,"'' he said, "and wore largely" rospon- . sible for .Its passage through, eon" gress. First, that It created a i,d volvlng fund, and second, that It would continually increase. In theory the federal reclnamtlon fund should' rovolvo once cvory ten years and bo used over and over again." . . ' Two Outstanding; Features. Kowevor, Ucker pointed out.
