A FAIR REQUEST


IN ASKING that appropriations for
: the Yakima reclamation project be
continued, the newly formed Yakima
Valley Reclamation league is making
no unreasonable demand upon the
government.
The league is asking for no new
nor increased appropriations, for no
change of policy, for no new expert
ment. 1t is merely requesting that
the business Of reclamation be carried
along in businesslike manner.
In creating the Yakima project, the
government acquired, from the state
and from individuals, valuable water
rights along the Yakima river, with
the understanding that certain lands
in the Yakima valley were to be re-
claimed by means of government aid
To the end that this purpose might
be carried out millions Of dollars have
been taken from the reclamation re-
volving fund and expended on con-
struction Of great dams and reservoirs
to impound the flood waters of the
stream and make possible the ;rriga-
ton of increased areas.
While this work has been in pro-
gress, canal construction for the IT.
rigation of new lands has been prac-
tically at standstill. This work is
nearing completion, only small ap-
preparation from the next years re-
clamation budget being necessary to
complete the work at Rimrock.
The league is asking for no new
venture in the Yakima valley. 1t is
asking only that the money expended
at Rimrock and on the other storage
work be not now permitted to lapse
into dead investment; that the Yak
ina projects prorata of the revolving
fund be kept coming so that this wa
ter, the impounding of which has
cost millions, may be put to work.
No new tax levy, no new legisla-
ton, is required. The moey is in the
reclamation fund. It's the peoples
money and it was put into the fund
for the purpose of reclamation. The
people have the right to expec. that
it shall be expended where it will in
sure the surest and quickest returns /;
where it will in reality provide new
homes for the settler and create new
markets for the manufacturer; where
it will promote the national welfare
and contribute to the national wealth.
There may be a question in the
minds of those who live east of the
Mississippi as to the wisdom of the
governments reclamation policy.
But as long as the policy stands as
long as the money comes and goes
certainly there can be no question
but that it should be expended where
it will bring results and carry out the
intent and purpose of the reclamation
act.
The last congress authorized that a
part Of this money be expended for
preliminary Investigations of two new
super-projects which can never be
built out of the revolving fund. #
this practice is to continue and grows
as it continues, it will defeat the
whole purpose Of the original recla-
nation act, government reclamation
will come to a standstill, and the mil
lions already expended in storage
works will be lost.

More Agricultural
Products Approved
AS Bases for Loans

WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a
Further assistance for farmers
through credits from the recently
organized intermediate credit banks
is anticipated here because of the
new order just issued by the farm
loan board defining additional staple
agricultural products which may
be warehoused and made to serve az
basis for loans through the banks.
The products added are broom
corn, beans, including soy beans, rice.
hay, nuts and canned fruits and
vegetables.
The Columbia, S. c., bank has
Jurisdiction over Georgia applica-
tons.
In announcing the amendment to
include more agricultural products
the board said:
Nuts and canned fruits and vege-
tables suggest special warehousing
problems in addition to the ordinary
warehousing questions which must
be solved before loans or advances
may be made, particularly rs to raar-
reliability and as to peculiar ware
housing facilities necessary TO quail
flying, these products as nonperjsh-
able" .
The federal warehouse act which
provides for the receipt after gov:
eminent inspection was broadened
at the last session of congress by a
bill of Senator w. j.: Harris, OF
Georgia, which permitted additional
agricultural products to be stored.

BRIGHT DAY HERE
FOR AGRICULTURIST,
HARDING DECLARES
Continued from Page u

machinery for administering this act,
but [ do not hesitate to express CON
fidence that this scheme of agricul-
tural credits, taken in connection
with the other enactment | have de-
scribed furnishes the basis for the
most enlightened, modern, sound
and efficient scheme of agricultural
finance that has been set up in any
country, and will enable the farmer
ia no distant future to free himself
from obstacles which have made it
difficult heretofore to conduct farm
operations upon sound, business
like basis"
The president explained the provis-
ions of the credit act in detail and
added:
MANY people have been inclined
to be skeptical of benefits which
might follow the enactment of legis-
1at4on to give the farmer a better
system of credit. They have SAID
that the farmer needs better prices
for his crops and live stock, rather
than easier ways to borrow money.
That is true but these friends do
not seem to understand that prices
of crops and live stock are directly
influenced by credit facilities.
I'm the past farmers have been
obliged to finance their productive
enterprises by borrowing money for
short terms. When times are good
they have no difficulty in renewing
these leans, but in periods of f1nan'
cial stress too many farmers have
found themselves under the neces-
sity OF pushing their crops or their
live stock on the market, not infre-
uently before the latter is fully fit
ted for market, in order to pay
notes which they had expected to be
abe to renew, thus at times flood
ing the market and seriously depressE
ing prices. Under system of inter
mediate credit, administered with
reference to the farmers seasonal
requirements, they should be able
to market both their crops and live
stock in a more orderly fashion, and
this in itself will be a potent in
fluence in keeping prices more stable
and reasonable.
81 thoroughly agree that what is
needed is fair prices; and 1 very
we'll know that the farmer wants to
get out of debt rather than to get
further into debt. But it is my opin
ion that both these ends will be
much more quickly accomplished
through this new system of agricul-
tural credits"

SINNERS
QUIT; POISON Rum
PEDDLERS BLAMED

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-The old
moonshiner has given up in dis
gust.
Refusing to compete with the mod
ern bootlegger, who manufactures
poison BOOZE" the moonshiner in the
mountains of the south has taken
to farming, reports to Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes show.
1t was partly matter of princi.
pie with the moonshiner and partly
a matter of mone.-, His personal
safety had nothing to 10 with it.
Ninety per cent &C the moonshin.
ers have gone out of business" said
q report to Haynes from one of his
Tennessee agents. "They have turn
ed to farming instead"
The moonshiner, long pictur-
esque figure of the south, and the
sworn enemy of all "revenooers." did
not surrender to the law. He was
driven out of business because he
refused to compete with the makers
of poison booze"
"Moonshiners," the dry agents re-
port continued, were ignorant
mountain folk, but they were re-
spectacle, according to their own
view of things. Their code would
not permit them to make impure or
harmful liquor. When. the bootleg
ger with his synthetic rum began to
flood the place with bad BOOZE the
moonshiner just quit"
Now the moonshiIling in the south
is done by the lowest elements Of the
population, willing to sink to the lev.
els set by the professional bootleg
gers, to whom human life means
nothing beside profits, according to
revenue agents. :.a.
