By Associated Press.

FL PASO, Oct 16. - Arthur P Davis, director and chief engineer of the reclamation service, told the dele gates to the international irrigation congress that the faults of the nation al reclamation act of 1902 were not due to ignorance but were the result of compromise with pork barrer sentiment" He characterized the in fiuence of pork barrel" policy upon the farm unit plan as insidious and one which allowed the farm unit to be left so large it became a handicap to the farmer in making payments and needed improvements.
 He said the reclamation service will be unable to consider new projects for some years unless the reclamation fund is replcnished or other means of financing the projects are devised.

JEROMEbUS|NESS MEN AGAINST
