FRIDAY, JULY 17. 1953 ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL By KEN McLEOD ' The water policy statement of tlio committee o( the western Dlvl ion of the Ourdoor Writers Assoc. latlon of America, which was start ed In our last column, Is continued here: , i 11. Every use of water contribut ing to the public weal must have equal right lor making claim to Its proper allocation of water; no one can oe given such over-riding monopoly that other good uses mav not have just consideration in wa ter use planning and management. ' 12. The assignment of use rights or privileges m water must be made on the basis of returning to the citizenry the greatest productivity in management of the resource, . At some point any good use may procure for the public a greater return In values than the same amount oi water demanded by oth- er uses oi nign Importance. To secure the fullest return from wa ter weaicn, there must be a bal anced, all-use plan 'of utintin so that the aggregate shall be the utmost in values derivable from mo - joovurce. w. a nitea or "frozen" scale of priorities in water use does not i "11 u,e necessary flexibility of adjustment to needs and demands iCL resource, it to recognized that domestic uses In their support Malin Women Have Big Job Feeding Scouts or f7 tremendous Job scouts went over "without a hitch" Saturday, so say th ladies of the Eastern star at Malin, who served The tralnload of boys and lead ers, all from New Jersey, arrived mue -alter 2 p.m. Half of the troup ascenaeo upon the town in bathing trunks, shoes, socks and hats and marched from the Great Northern depot to the Malin Community Swimming Pool, to the accompaniment of songs and chants, for a swim.

The pri ority scale should not be so frozen as to prevent these coordinate, non damaging uses of water prior to domesio or agricultural utilization. l. me watershed of any stream, "rge or small, is the primary area in which water management and control must be applied.

Action, effort, funds should be alloted to this fundamen. tal mechanism of water manage ment that lies n the stream's wa tershed as the most fundamental step and the watershed manage ahead of constructional, mechani cal water-management features lower down on the line of transit. 15.

Beyond all damage done by water out of control Is me loss oi the resource from the upper basin areas without It serv. lng primary uses and oroducina- val ues by being held within the area wnere it arrives on the land mass. 16.

IB. Gigantic dams. . bio- dikes. cnannei dredging and similar con structional activities generally con sidered as "flood control" are di rected toward treating a condition tnat results from a cause without much effect in curing the cause of floods. The cause of floods lies In the Inability of collecting basins to aosoro a large part oi heavy, per lodio precipitations, to delav run off so flood crests will not form. Policy and action which follows thesis that floods shall be al lowed to build to their higher de structive volumes in- main stream channels and then be "controlled' by constructional facilities, Is pat ently aosurd, irrational and falla cious. The logical approach Is to prevent floods from forming In stead of letting them- do so and only then tryintr to control them. Treating a watershed, to achieve these goals is treating the cause of Hoods while constructional con trols aown stream are mere palla- 19. Irrigation in itself is a eood uo m name; irrigation schemes uiac involve gigantic engineering vuiiau-ucuonai leatures, re quire expenditure of fantastic funds, and can be Justified only by umarea claims or Benefits and rely on other elements in the schemes for "Justification" are questionable At most, and without regard to cost, no rnone than 16 million more acres oi arid land in the West can be added to irrigated crop pro- uutuun. iae cost per acre irrigat ed is fantastic in many projects currently proposed. The claim that these additional acres must be put under Irrigation to meet future de mands for farm products, regard less of cost and actual big sub sidies, is spurious. The chance of adequately supplying the nation's needs In food and fiber lies in In creasing the productivity of the 610 million acres of existing cropland, and rehabilitation tli inn minion acres on which productivity has been damaged or lost. 12133 Modi r" ' ' 1 L'..j ; -i 'uma if 1 r' . t J r .4: I i n.VU IIKRALD AND NEWS.
