ments and to support his family. He
can put nothing back into the soil. He
finds it practically impossible to pay the
interest on his debts incurred In getting
his farm and in putting water on it.
In the meantime the situation OF the
corporation. which has sold its bonds
to the public and which relies upon
the farmers to contribute the interest on
these bonds and sufficient money to pay
of whatever principal has TO be paid on
year by year. is a pretty bad SITUATION
When you come to analyze II, that Is the
real reason for the numerous defaults In
irrigation bonds. 1t Is simply that the
irrigation business was based upon what
now seems to be an economic faIlacy'
namely, that desert lands and water add
ed together produced a living and a
large surplus for the farmers in the next
few years. The Government of the United
States has the largest problem on It's
hands; but the government Is well able 10
meet the problem because 1t has not
strained itself. or overpaid its resources
in carrying on this work. The private
corporation, on the other hand. has obi
cations to meet and must either meet
them or go into a receivership-
This article is written to clear up this
matter and to answer the thousands OF
questions that pour in from all over the
country from holders OF irrigation bonds
as to why it Is that all the great promises
and prospects of the irrigation promoters
have so quickly come TO nothing. This
melancholy failure carried with Il also
however. a certain amount Of warning.
II is the lesson that one should not play
with experimental forms of finance. I'M
less one can afford to take the risk that
necessarily accompanies all experiments
The very conservative investor should
never put money into an experiment.
no matter how promising it may seem
There has hardly been another field In
recent years that looked more promis-
ing, and that seemed TO have in It more
Of the elements that make for solid. sub
stantial growth than the irrigation ousi-
ness as carried on By the government
and by the more responsible private cor
porations, yet there has never been a
quicker collapse.
The Judgment Of men in matters OF
the future can never be infallible. There
fore 1t is well. IN the matter of invest
ment. IL you are looking for absolute
solidity and safety, to buy nothing that
is based upon the Judgment OF man, but
