GOVERNMENT 3Ff1C|ALS SUPPORT
THE DIRECT CONTRACT SCHEME
Standards Editorial Advocacy Has Brought Endorsement
by the Reclamation Service Officials of the Direct
Land Leveling Contract Plan Here
A complete endorsement

considerable period of time in
favor of direct contracts with set
Tiers for land leveling as against the
nrojeet management's tractor level
ing plan, has followed the visit to
this project of James Mum, consult
ing engineer of the reclamation ser
vice. attached to the Denver office.
Mr. Mum and Project Manager John
r Richardson met with the directors
of the Truckee-carson irrigation
district at the court house Monday
afternoon, both speaking upon the
probability and necessity of a chang
ed program for project settlers
wherein aid may be extended to the
settlers by the government. Past
experience has served To prove the
difficulties Attending The development
OF homes on the raw lands OF tAif
project. Unless amply financed the
omebnild'ng efforts have been
drawn out over discouragingly
long period Recognition is now TO
BE given 10 this fact and aid of the
most tangible sort is to be advanced

be hastencd. and the greatest mum

possible time. That this change Of
Official viewpoint will have far reach
Ing effect on both the farming and
business OF the project is certain
and appreciation of the outspoken
advocacy by Messrs. Richardson and
Mum of the direct contract plan. as
against any other proposal. is gener-
al In local minds.
Mr. Munns conclusions were
voiced in a frank manner at Monday
afternoons meeting. They were tho
result of nearly two weeks obserya-
tions on the project and consulta-
tions with various of the settlers re-
garding their problems He said. In
the course of his talk, that the tract
or leyeling plan, although well in.
tended, had nor been a complete sue
cess. and that ne had found IL high
ly advisable to carry on. wherever
assistance TO the settler is found
necessary. under the direct contract
with the settler plan. He expressed
the belief that IL Is entirely feasible
that the government and settler shall
cooperate under working agree
ment simple and free from involve
ment, and he found In the course of
his visit here that the settlers who
are using the tractors under the
rental plan from the service are ef-
fecting the transformation of their
farm units with approximately the
same financial outlay as would be

necessary with teams, but with the
distinct advantage of performing the
work many times more rapidly than
would be possible with teams. I'm
deed Mr.. Mum stated, "the direct
land leveling contract plan is re-
sulting in placing from two to three
Zines as much land in readiness for
irrigation as was possible under the
former tractor leveling plan, now
abandoned.
Mr.. Mum expressed both surprise
and qualification at the great num-
ber of exceptional successes among
the land owners in every part of the
project and he naturally argues that
moderate amount of cooperation
by the government with the settlers
will make this home development
uniform, recognition being given to
individual problems which have con-
tributed so largely in the past to
holding back land development here.
1t is Mr.. Munn's idea that the gov
ernment may logically advance TO the
land owner two-thirds of the esti-
mated cost of the land 'leYeling. one
half of which would be given to the
settler when the land las had its
first irrigation and the second half
whenever the land has been seeded
to a standard crop. Thus. land esti-
mated TO cost $75 per acre for level
ing would return the settler $50 ia
cash when he had completed his land
leveling under the direct contract
plan, this to be repaid on a plan OF
amortizement extending over a peri
cd OF 40 years. He Is In favor OF
conhning contracts 70 lands of
maximum estimated leyeling cost of
SIS. which may be varied from in
certain instances, but he would limit
the per acre advance to SIS. it being
his notion that inasmuch as the mon
ey advanced under this plan would
draw nominal interest charge It
would not be to the settlers inter
ests TO attempt the reclamation OF
lands costing more.
These direct contracts. Mr. Mum
stated, may be entered into by the
project manager with the approval OF
the Truckee-Carson irrigation dis
trict board. II is the general opin-
ion that the board cannot go further
than to lend its moral support TO the
undertaking and this is the sum to-
tai OF the demands of the govern
ment authorities. He said that the
terms of department circular. now
in effect. will permit of the offering
of the direct contracts to the set
tiers here by the project manage
ment.
II had been hoped that DR.. FL
wood Meade, of Berkeley. who is
a direct representative of Secretary

when this was found impossible Pro-
ject Manager John F. Richardson
and Mr. Mum went 10 Sacramento
Saturday where they held a confer
ence with Mr.. Meade and were as
sured by him of his heartiest espous-
al of their plan.
The irrigation districts executive
board Tended their unqualified en-
dorsement of the direct land leveling
contract plan at Monday afternoons
meeting and II now seems certain
that this much sought innovation,
earnestly advocated by this paper for
the past several months, is now to
become fixed government policy in
the Newlahds project.
