TEST OF THE WORTH
 0F RECLAMATION Can Government Secure Re- turn on Investment? FAILURES ARE NOTED If Government Cannot Collect Pay- mcnts from Settlers Law Is
 Failure and Reclamation
 Work May End

Washington, May 2.-The acid test of the practicability of all the government re- clamation work is at hand. On April there was due and payable into the reclamation fund from the settlers on the various projects, approximately 1000 900 for water rights. If the farmers are able
 to meet their payments it evidences that the government is able to secure return on it's investment If the payments are not made the law is a failure in one of its | most important provisions, and the oper- ations of the reclamation service would quickly be brought to an end.
 But careful canvass of the project on
 which water rights charges are due indi- cates that the settlers as a rule are able and willing to meet them. On the big North Platte project in Wyoming and Nebraska there were S55 farms with charges due on April 1. It is reported that 227 of them paid up as early
 as last December, and of the remaining
 lOS the engineers in the field estimate that
 not more than 10 will be likely to be can
 celled. Most of those could relinquish
 at this time at a profit
 Even on the Truckee- Carson project in
 Nevada where conditions have been as
 unfavorabe as any could be, the reports
 show few delinquencies. On the Okano- gan and Sunnyside projects in Washing ton, the Shoshone in Wyoming and the Huntley and Sun River in Montana, it is predicted that every farmer will meet his obligations
 The payment of their indebtedness by those farmers will probably be the most important single event in the history of national irrigation. There never has been any doubt as to the competency of the engineers to construct the projects, but doubt has been expressed as to whether
 the government could get it's money back.
 The dollars of the successful farmers in
 the districts will be the answer and the vindioatlon of the reclamation law There have been failures as it was ip- evitable there should be- but the absolute ] failures and the abandonments have been | surprisingly few. In numerous instances | those who underestimated ihe task or
 came without experience or sufficient | funds were able to retire without serious

loss. In numerous other instances many retired with some gain, but the greatest number of failures was found among those who took up the projects never intending to use them themselves, but to speculate for profits on bona fide homemakers who came later.
 Where the reclamation service finds that failure has been due to conditions not under control of the settler, it is possible that some way may be found to protect his rights, but where the evidence is that the settler has made no effort to protect himself he need expect no aid from the government. The farmers who came to farm, however, are making good. The crops produced on the irriga ted lands operated by the water systems of the government In 1909 had an estimated value of $l4,000OOO, and the land values increased not less than $105,O00 GOO as the result of the construction of the federal irrigation works. The reclamation fund has had more than S60, GOO under the act and more than $4,5OO.O GOO are still in the treasury of the United States but not available.
 The great question has been: Will the money come back? Indications are that 1t will.
