that federal aid in reclamation work

that federal aid in reclamation work
is a success. If it cannot be demon
strated that federal reclamation is
successful, then congress instead of
increasing, will gradually decrease
and in time cut off all federal aid,
and reclamation will again become a
purely private undertaking.
In his new office, Governor Davis
is not yet announcing any definite
plans or changes; there is. to be no
general shakeup in the reclamation
service, but gradually changes will
be brought about as conditions are
studied, and changes appear to be
necessary. The engineering work
will be directed by Mr.. Weymouth
from his office in Denver; he has
become chief engineer of the new
bureau of reclamation, but the chief
engineer is subordinate to and work
ing under the direction of Commits
sioner Davis of Washington, and the
engineering force will not hereafter
administer reclamation affairs; they
will perform purely engineering
duties.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Experiments in the feeding Of farm
work horses and mules completed at
the Illinois experiment station indi-
cate that a practical work ration re-
quires approximately pound Of con-
centrate and a pound of roughage for
every hundred pounds of body weight
of the animal fed. That amount, in
each case, is divided into three feeds.

CORRESPONDENCE decreased. AS re-
CARDS hay, it is best to feed most of
it at night and during periods Of ex-
ira hard work not to allow more than
while the horse is cooling off, before
being watered and fed again. The
recommendations made by the inves-
rigators are to the effect that home
grown feeds should be used and that
Iegume hay, fed along with ear corn
or preferably ear corn and oats,
should be made an important part of
the roughage. While it was found
that alfalfa hay and ear corn are suf

may be replaced with timothy hay,

TUBERCULOSIS TEST TABLETS

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The United States Department of
Agriculture announces the perfection
of an apparatus through the use of
which tablets to be used in the oph-
thalmic test for tuberculosis in cattle
may be manufactured in sufficient
quantities to supply the demand. The
material used in making these tablets
takes up moisture from the air so
readily that unless atmospheric con-
ditions are ideal it Is impossible to
shape the material into tablets In
practice it was found possible to man.
ufacture them during only about thirty
days in the year, until the new appa-
ratus was devised.
The ophthalmic test, while not Off
cial, has become very important in the
fight against tuberculosis in cattle,
and several million tablets are now
needed annually to supply the demand.
Under the former system of making
them only when the humidity and fem
perature of the air permitted, it was
impossible to keep up with the de-
mand.
The apparatus, which was designed
in the bureau of animal industry, con-
sists of specially constructed, closed
chamber in which air Is cooled and
dried by having the moisture frozen
out of it by circulating over brine
coils. The air then passes over cleo
trio heating coils, which raise 1t to
the proper temperature, without |
changing the moisture content. This |
air is then supplied to a working box, |
where the tablets are to be made. |

QUESTIONING RECLAMATION

To- the western mind federal rec
amation is a success from an engi-
neering, from a farming and from a
commercial standpoint, but the i'm
preston is rapidly growing in con-
gress, as well as thruOut the east
generally, that federal reclamation
is not the bowling success that it's
friends claim for it,
And Secretary Work has con-
Guided that there is some ground for
this suspicion. He himself is a be-
lever in reclamation; he thinks ir-
rigaton under government direction,
can be successful, but he is not con-
WINGED that it is as successful as it
might be under different manage
ment. Hence his recent order con-
verting the reclamation service into
the bureau of reclamation; his call
for the retirement of Director A. P.
Davis and the substitution of the Of
flee of commissioner of irrigation for
that of director, with former Cover
nor D.. w. Davis of Idaho as COM
missioner
A great deal of western energy
was expended in two sessions of the
last congress attempting to put thru
the Smith-McNary reclamation bill,
which would have made available
$3.50, 100000 for further irrigation
of arid lands. Several causes con-
tributed to the failure of the bill, but
one Of the prime reasons for it's de-
feat was this eastern suspicion that
reclamation under government aus
pices is not successful, at least from
the standpoint of the government
that is putting up the money. And
this eastern attitude of adversely was
intensified when delegations Of set
tiers from several projects came to /
Washington with tales Of distress
among the settlers on reclamation
projects and their inability to meet

their payments, coupled with appeals
for extensions of time.
Extensions Cause Harm
For the last four or five years con-
gress has heard similar appeals, and
has repeatedly granted extensions,
but each time these extension bills
are passed there is sarcastic COM
ment. from eastern members who
want to know what it profits the gov
eminent to go on year after year adj
vancing money for building reclama-
ton projects at $40, $50 and even
500 an acre or more if, when they
are completed, the farmers on these
projects are not able to make suf-
ficient profit to keep their heads
above water, met the cost of living
and have enough left over to repay
the government each year one
twentieth of what they owe for the
reclamation of their lands.
To the western man this plea does
not indicate general failure among
the farmers or general distress
among those who have gone upon the
government projects. The records
themselves show that the number of
settlers actually availing themselves
of the terms extended by congress
are small in proportion to the total.
But these pitiful stories, of distress
nevertheless, have aroused a general
suspicion among eastern members as
to the success of government recla-
nation, and yearly the objection to
reclamation extension is growing
stronger and stronger in congress.
And Secretary Work knows this.
What Records Show
Records of the reclamation SER
vice show that only one project out
of twenty-four built by the govern
ment has a 100 per cent record for
repayment of annual reclamation
charges-that is the 'Orland project
in California. There is not a delin-
quent settler on that project; not
one of its settlers ever asked for or
was granted an extension of time At !
the same time, the general average
for all projects shows that 1872 per
cent of the settlers have paid up, |
and the relief extended by congress,
therefore, is for the benefit of only
10 pr cent of all the settlers.

situation that appeals to the eastern
mind. When the reclamation law
was passed twenty-one years ago, it
provided that the full amount in
vested by the government would be
repaid by the settlers in ten years;
he term later was extended to
twenty years. Recalling the repay
nent clause of the reclamation law,
eastern senators and congressman
lave been looking up the returns to
he reclamation fund, and find them
'elatively small, compared to what
hey might expect, in view. of the
aw. Of course, there are conditions
he easterner does not understand,
md he sees only the requirements of
he law, and the funds actually
epaid.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1923-07-26
Returns Are Slow

Official fiscal records of the recla-
nation service do not yet include re-
turns of the year ended June 80, but
these records compiled nearly year
ago give an idea of the situation as
it existed then, and it has not greatly
changed during the fiscal year just
closed. On June 30, 1922, the gov
eminent had invested in the twenty
four reclamation projects 1882, $685.
900, this being the net investment,
exclusive of preliminary work on
projects not yet begun.
In the twenty years over which
this expenditure had been made,
only S13, 100000, or less than 10 per
cent of the investment had been re-
paid by the Settlers. The total crop
values for ten years from 1912 to
1921 had amounted to $426, 900
and the crop values of 1921 alone
had amounted to nearly 100000.
Several projects are now yielding
crops each year more than the total
cost of building the projects; many
projects in" two years are returning
in crops more than the cost of con-
struction. And yet in face of these
returns received by the farmers, the
payments to the government do not
show up as the eastern man thinks
they should.
Better Business Management Be-
Iieved to be Remedy
Secretary Work believes that vii
the injection of business manage
ment into the reclamation service,
and by bringing the service into
more intimate and more friendly
relation with the settler, better re-
suits may be achieved, larger and
better crops may be harvested, and
bigger returns find their way back
into the reclamation fund, as con-
gress originally intended.
He has had many complaints of
the dictatorial attitude of the heads
of the reclamation service, all en-
gineers, and has been disposed to at |
tribute this state of mind Of the aver
age engineer, who is not primarily a !
business man, or one by nature
fitted to develop close and friendly
contact with the settlers on the land
He has an idea that if the engineer
ng work is left to the engineers, the
business side of the reclamation
service can better be handled by a
business man knowing the west,
the conditions of the pro-
ects, and understanding conditions
hat confront the settler. Hence the
