THE FARMERS AND RECLAMATION

1t has been stated semi-offically and otherwise
that the farmers organizations of the country were op
posed to Boulder Dam and in general to reclamation
projects which might bring in more farming and
thereby increase competition in the products raised by
those whose farming enterprises are already establish
ed Secretary Hoover himself stated that such was the
case upon the occasion of his visit to E Centre few
weeks ago. In view of these statements is interesting
to note the position which the Farm Bureau Federation
really does take upon this question officially set
forth in the declaration of principles at the fourth
nual meeting held in Chicago last month
Here follow a few extracts from resolutions pro-
mugated at that time:
Resolved That we, the American Farm Blu
reau Federation, in convention assembled, endorse
the National Reclamation Service General Policy
in the reclaiming of arid, swamp and stump lands,
and the furtherance and completion of such other
projects as the Muscle Shoals, Colorado River
and like projects.
We urge that the Interior Department and the
United States Reclamation Service be directed, in
the disposition of the Reclamation funds to adhere
to the policy of completing projects we'll under
construction in preference to new projects, units,
betterments expenditures, of later consdera-
ton, and that the Reclamation Funds be made
available and used IN accordance with the above
policy.
We recommend, for the benefit OF settlers
who are giving their lives pioneering irrigation
projects that there be a careful selection and sup
ervison of settlers similar to the plan followed at
Durham and Delhi, California, under the direction
of DR.. Elwood Mead.
We recommend the immediate passage of leg
islation embodying the purposes of the Smth-Mc-
Nary bill.
The resolutions go even further than this. They
elaborate program of constructive legislation for the
purpose of relieving the situation of farmers operat
ing under reclamation projects, proposing to remit
certain interest and penalties and readJustlng
ments so as to be less burden than they at the
present time. Altogether instead of being enemies OF
the Colorado river project and other reclamation en-
terprises, either openly covertly the Farm Bureau
organization appears to be out with constructive pro-
gram calculated to coordinate all efforts in this dl
rection and to surround them with safeguards that
when launched be assured for them IN ad-

cuddled up together.
"This is good place to stay dur

"Being lost ism t SO bad after all. -
"It's fun--it s like camping
out" said Floppy. So they stayed
there all that night, and in the morn
ing Nurse Jane got out the Police
Dog with a snow plow and they
found Uncle Wiggily and the piggies
and cleared path so they could get
home.

began to think he had been bit
foolish.
"I'll turn around and go back to
my warm hollow stump bungalow, -
he said. "l've had adventures
enough in this storm. But going
back was easier said than done, for
now the snow was quite deep, and
though the bunny leaped and jump
ed, it was hard work. For his feet,
having no snowshoes on them, sank
deep into the soft drifts.
At last the snow was so high that
il was over Uncle Wiggily's head,
and he could go no farther. There
he was--lost in the storm!
But Uncle Wiggily was brave. So
instead of sitting down and crying,
as some rabbits would have done,
Uncle Wiggily kept on, trying to
push his way through the snow.
"What would sbe the good of cry
ing9" he asked himself. "The tears
would only freeze on my face and
how funny / would Look On and
on through the snow Uncle Wiggily
pushed until at last he could push
no farther. He thought he had per-
haps run against the side of his
bungalow, but when he scraped some
snow away he found that he had
come up to big pile of dried corn
stalks. "I'll burrow under the pile
of cornstalks and stay until the
storm is over,' thought the rabbit.
He was rustling his way through
| the pile of dried corn under the
snow, when, all of a sudden, a voice
called:
"Who is there9"

of stalks. ''But how did you get

"We are lost and we wandered in
here said Curly. Then he and
Floppv nosed and rooted around un-
til they found an ear of corn. They
ate some themselves and they pound
