When there appears to be sur
plus of farm products and prices are
low, it almost seems out of place to
consider such matters as reclamation
and land settlement. And yet, we in
the west in areas where there is land
to be'reclaimed and where such rec
lamation means much to the welfare
of the state as whole, must see far
enough ahead to have some definite
policies in reclamation. With our
rapidly increasing population, it will
not take many years, variously esti-
matted at 15 to 25, until domestic de-
mand will more than catch up with
production. AS additions to acreage
by reclamation always will be small
when compared with land under cul-
tivation, products from these acres
unless specialties such as truck and
fruit are over-emphasizeed, will have
little effect on the prices of farmers
goods. With upwards of two millions
acres or more Of land to be reclaimed
by irrigation and probably two million
acres of logged off lands suitable for
agricultural purposes, we as state
need to give the matter of reclama-
tion our careful attention.
The development of logged off
lands or reclamation of lands by irri-
cation must be done in accordance
with economic principles or not at all.
The land must be of such character
first of all, that it can produce crops
of such volume and at such a cost
that their use for feed or sale will
bring substantial return. Second,
there must be markets for these crops,
either through cities close at hand,
through canneries in case of berry
crops or through livestock products
such as milk, eggs or meat for which
these is always some market.
Moreover, the prices of these lands
must be such that reasonable inter-
est on the investment and returns
from labor from the proceeds of the
land, are possible. The only real guide
to follow is the results obtained by
farmers under similar conditions and
on similar land. These will show that
for logged off areas for instance, the
prices of raw land itself, except that
to be used for trucking purposes adj
jacent to large cities, should be only
nominal, say SIS to SIS per acre. The
clearing of these lands will cost from
500 to $500 per acre, practically all
that the land is worth when cleared
and sometimes more. Original own

ers will have to contend themselves
with the profits secured from the or
iginal crop and be willing to place
these lands in the hands of land seek
ers at nominal price.
Considerable exploitation of unsus-
pecting homeseekers with or without
farm experience has been quite COM
agents who would give the impress
sion that or 10 acres of logged off
mon by over enthusiastic land sales
land will furnish a good living for
anybody and the only thing necessary
is to get hold of unit. build home
and live in plenty for the rest of ones
life. Disillusionment has come too
soon and no need wonder that those
who have been thus treated have
resentment in their hearts and offer
fertile ground for the seeds of discon-
tent and radicalism.
1t should be understood by every
one who takes up new land, whether
that be among the sage brush of the
desert or in the elogged off areas,
however salubrious the climate or
rich the soil, that the development
of farm and home from raw lands
entail hart work and thrift, under
standing of the farming game or an
intelligent studious interest which
makes it possible to profit by the ex-
perience of others.
In connection with reclamation on
any considerable scale, there should
be well organized land settlement
plans. These should include provi-
sion for the division of the land into
proper units suitable for standard
farming enterprises the building of
small house, unit poultry house,
small barn and the digging of a
well on each unit. 1t should also in
clude perhaps provision for a cow, a
pig, or two and dozen hens. All
this should be provided at cost such
that bona fide settlers may make a
first payment to cover in part the cost
of improvement. Further suitable
provision should be made whereby
adequate supervision of the. whole
project is provided for and whereby
settlers may have a long time period
under the amortization plan for fl
nal payments on their farms. Sucn
land settlement plans are essential to
the best success of reclamation pro-
gram whether that be in connection
with logged off lands or lands under
irrigation.
