RECLAMATION FARM RETURNS
BY FnEpEnIC ). mAsklN

| >WASHINGTON December 1G.-With
| 100000 acres In crops. and .ia gross

vatlrely at $50 ah acre. the farmers
| aud officers of the United States Re
clamation Service feel that they have
delivered their full share OF that In
creased food supply for which tho gov
crnmcnt called in the spring.
II may pc safely asserted that there
is no other body OF farm land in
America of like size more thoroughly
utilized than the recla nation projects,
crops per acre Is Just about twice that
for he'country asa whole.
When tho call for increased produce
ton went forth these Western farm
crs faced a late spring and frozen
ground; tho cost OF every farming
operation was higher than II had ever
hccn before, and many adventurous
young men Of the West had enlisted.
leaving many farms short-handed, But
the response to the call was generous
none the less, for the rcclama ton folk
are accustomed to cooperation. Thoy
manage their water supply on "a CO.
operative basis, and this experience
brings them together. teaches them tho
value Of collective effort. Furthermore.
the office In Washington sedulously
cultivates this gct-to- scther spirit 1t
publishes Il magazine called the RE-
clamation Record" which goes to every
water user on every project. In strik-
ing contrast TO that other Record"
published by the learned gentlemen on
the hill. this magazine shows that n
government publication need not BIO
dry. IT Is, in fact, an interesting popu-
lar aEaz!ne-especialiy the writings
Of G. j. Blanchard, for some obscure
reason designated as statistician
While not neglectinE to emit Il statts-
he Do
10 relate with Gusto how lie went duck
shooting on the North Platte in 1855:
TO describe the fine fishing that Is TO
be had In the project reservoirs, and
TO discover and relate many stories OF
success among the reclamation folk,
which have human as we'll as
statistical interest. Miss Luella Little
page, who also yields "A faciIc tyne
writer. appeals to the women as surely
as MIR. Blanchard appeals TO tho men.
These and other writer's in the Record
laid the matter of increased food pro-
duction before the reclamation folk as
Il patriotic duty, and as such the re-
clamation folk accepted II.
IIns Reason for Patriotism
Tho reclamation farmer has reason
TO be patriotic. He has purchased his
farm from the government and has
gotten most advantageous terms. lie
paws down only so per cent liz is iftccn
years before he is compelled 10 make
tho next payment. and he has twenty
years in which TO pay for his farm
without being asked for any interest
en- what ne owes. Hence tho rcclama-
ton farmer has no heavy mortgages to
stasger under; no CouEinE interest rate
to pay. He may we'll be patriotic, for
his government confcrs upon him not
only political freedom. but also de-
gree Of economic freedom
So the reclamation farmer rccIin:
that he really owed something to Uncle
Sam. put forth ever? effort TO increase

Is tho Alien Austrian an Alien Enemy?


T'IME alone can vindicate the decision of
President Wilson to give every alien
Austrian and Hungarian in the United States
the chance TO be loyal resident ir not a
loyal citizen of this country. Whether the
lenlent policy OF the American government
is wise unwiSc. is a question for subjects
OF the Austro-IIungarian empire who are af-
fccted to answer Under the proclamation Of
the President these aliens are not to be dis
turbed i'll their present employment They
are permitted TO make living for themselves
and their families in whatever direction they
may elect. They are not to be barred from
war zones or driven from their homes. In
all essential respects, they are to be treated
as arc aliens OF any neutral country.
If there is any capacity for gratitude in
the heart of these people, they will cherish
the action Of the American government and
will abide by its laws with faultlcss faith
fulncss. They will appreciate the bcncvolence
OF nation which, though it may be at war
Win their own country, proposes no undue
hardships upon the men and women of an
enemy nation whom fortune and circum-
stances have placed at its mercy.
The policy of this government undoubtedly
was arrived at upon the theory that the Aus
TRANS and Hungarians in America will be
grateful for the opportunities afforded them;
that they will live rgdly within the laws
OF the united States and in no sense abuse
inc extraordinary privileges vouchsafed them
by the American people 1t remains to be
seen whether or not this rare faith on the
part of the President has been misplaced
President Wilson has reason to believe
that the great body Of people in Austria
hungary are not in sympathy with the war
He indicated this clearly in his recent mes
sage to Congress. in which he described that
country as 'vassal' OF Germany 1t is a
TACT known the world over, that Austria il;
clamorinS for ncace; that war has impoycr-
lshed IT, has cost it the best blood of tho
empire and promises nothing III return lis
government is dominated body and soul by
Berlin, and is standing against the clamor
OF her people only out OF fear OF German
power.
lhcsc circumstances VIC may we'll believe
mad much to do with the Presidents decision
TO diferentiatc between tho alien Austrian
and tho alien German in this country He
no doubt feels that The rcvusion against war
In Austrla-HunSary is reflected in the hearts
OF INC Austrians and lIungarians now in
America, and that these nationals of an
enemy government may safely be trusted to
show measurable loyalty to the United States
Notwithstanding tho recent declaration of
war.
