Farmer. to Have Expert Advice.


Denver.-The government Is going
to develop the lands under its reclaim
alton projects by aiding the farmers
with the advice and personal super
vision Of experts in every class Of
farming. according to l. D. ODonnell,
supervisor Of irrigation, in charge OF
maintenance and operation, United
States reclamation service, who is
In Denver in consultation with local
government officers. Cattle raising,
hog raising. the development of the
dairy industry. and other branches Of
the cattle and farming business are
to be given more attention than ever
before, says Supervisor ODonnell. An
expert on horses, for example. will be
sent to assist the farmers under q
particular project. Later hog expert
will give them his advice. then a soil
expert, and down the line until all
phases Of farming and cattle raising
have been taught the farmer. Super.
visor ODonnell says that the farmers
under all of the twenty-five reclama-
tion projects are doing we'll and he
big bitches are completed. He says
that no more projects are to be
started until those that are undcr
way are fully completed. He believes
that the law giving an extension OF
time from ten to twenty years for
payment to the government by home
steaders will aid development and en-
courage settlers.
