RECLAMATION NEWS

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah.-Tht
problems confronting the farmers OF
the American Falls, Idaho irrigation
project were outlined by r. E. Shep
perd of Jerome, president OF the
Western States Reclamation associa'
, ton and other speakers before the
morning session of the reclamation
fact-finding committee sent here by
Secretary of the Interior Hubert
Work.
Increase the productivity OF the
land by changing the method OF
farming, work for greater diversi-
fication of farm products and form q
permanent organization to supervise
and finance the farmers of the rec
lamation projects and the difficulties
now facing the western farmer Will
be solved" Mr.. Shepperd asserted.
The intermediate credit banks are
not sufficient to supply the financial
needs of the farmer, he said IN re-
Spouse to a question Of DR.. John
Widtsoe, of the commission. Its
rules are not elastic enough and It
is not sympathetic enough with the
needs of the farmer"
Lauds Ag. Experts
Mr.. Shepperd attributed the sue
cess of the farmers in his district to
the supervision of agricultural ex-
perts.
do you think that it pays to hire
supervision for the farmers?" DR..
Widtsoe asked.
at costs less to hire a. man to
make a good farmer than 1t does to
hire a lawyer to throw him out" Mr.
Shepherd replied. I'm fact, an agrf-
cultural expert would be more valu-
able to me than an entire legal de-
partment"
Ignorance Brings Losses
1.-THE great loss to the farmers OF
Idaho has been due to ignorance OF
farming methods and to economic
generally since the war
and not to the lack of water Mr..
Shepperd continued.
81 recommend that a man with
limited capital settle upon forty
acres of land. Those who have come
to Idaho and bitten off larger piece
are generally in trouble financially.
When a man wants to settle on our
project the first question we ask is
about his ability to farm. OFTEN
times the farmer with a noodle
and not cent proves an asset while
the farmer with money and lack OF
ability is liability"
Mr.. Shepperd urged the fact find
ing commission not to base or fix
the standard of the farms in Idaho
by what the incompetent farmer is
able to do. He attacked those pro-
ject managers and representatives OF
water users association, who have
about the failure OF
projects in the Gem
state.

900, who outnumber the railroad
workers, should demand a minimum
return on their investment irrespec-
tive of the earning abilities of their
property, declaring that the railroad
employees were being paid too much
of the income-and wouldn't we
have another pretty ress?
We cannot argue that these g.
100000 are getting too much, for
many Of them are getting nothing,
and are holding on in the hope that
competent management and rational
governmental supervision will make
it possible for them to receive at
least what the savings banks pay,
per cent.
What has been said of railroads
is true Of many other concerns, large
and small-the ownership Is distrib-
uted among a lot of people-just
folks, regular folks, common folks,
who are not hell-bent on striking
and fomenting, however-who real
ize that their best interests lie in
the direction of proper maintenance
Of the road to the way out-for all.
When we get down to the hard
pan of the situation we find there
is no capital and labor" but "own-
ers and employees" with their inter-
ests identical; no producer and
consumer" as antagonistic elements,
but growers and EATERS" each de-
pendent upon the other-neither
moving comfortably on the road to
the way out unless the other travels
similarly.
We all must travel this road to the
way out. We find it long, and, at
times, wearisome route. Over
hanging 1t in places are the Rocks
of-Bugaboo, which scare us, but
never fall. Here and there the out
pourings of demagogy menace the
bridges, which keeps us nervous, but
also moves US the more theoretically
to protect the bridges.
How foolish of us If we should en-
large menace to disaster by joining
those who threaten our progress.
Just as one traveller will stop to
help another in distress-even tow
ing in his disabled car-so we,
this road to the way out,
should, as individuals and as classes
help the other fellow. We can do
this best by understanding him and
his problems; by getting into close
the table-really
getting acquainted. Then
There will be few units in this
great caravan that will not gladly
help those in trouble over the road
% the way out.

THE ROAD TO THE WAY OUT
BY GUY FLENNER

We may never have a consumers
organization, or union or even a
bloc, for consumers are not funda-
mental factors, being non-producers,
and a non-producer is not to be con-
sidered first in an emergency. Yet
the consumer is a practical factor,
being heavy purchaser. If he and
she should decide on a national or
ganization, and formulate demands
similar to some that have been set
out, 1t would further cOmplicate the
situation in the country, already
overlooking with opposing groups
that are retarding each other and
cluttering the road to the way out.
The producer can't get on very
we'll without the consumer, and so
it is with other classes, only some
of them do not seem to know it
yet. Parenthetically, let 1t be OBJ
served that the vital factor, the pro-
Queer, will have helped a lot when he
shall have shortened the distance be-
tween himself and his customers
cutting down the grades and reduc-
ing the mileage on the road to the
way out.
1t is interesting to speculate what
ullkuL udPpcu IL OFCly 80 6AOuP
should organize, and set up its own
circumstances and demands
going its own way-each possibly
arrayed against every other class
none willing to join forces with the
others and march comparatively
along this road to the way out.
The consumers, for example,
might go on strike because in their
opinion the producers charged too
much. That would certainly tie up
the producing end and diminish the
diet of the strikers. Both sides
would be hurt and the road to the
way out would be piled higher with
distractions.
The writer read the other day that
there were 100000 people in the
United States who are direct and in
direct owners of railroad stocks and
bonds OF these 100000 are direct
owners. Eliminate all but the actual
owners, and assume that the 2,0OO,-

M a ny Goo d Deeds Done By
 Heflin Unit

For several years, Mrs. John Ed mundson has been in.-charge of the business scholarship provided every year by the Linley Heflin unit. Soon after it's organization it was decided to give the scholarship, every year in memory of the beloved leader, whose life was such an inspiration to the members of her Red Cross unit. Ga pabie, earnest and a fine executive, Mrs. 'Edmundson has proved 50 we'll fitted to look after this work that each l. new ' president ,r r urges her to keep this
 Any member of the unit can give Mrs. Edmundson the name of girl de- string to take a business course and after seeing and talking with each girl Mrs. Edmundson chooses the one she thinks best fitted in every way to take the course. The story of the splendid results and the happy self supporting girls helped this way is one of the in- teresting chapters of the unit.
 Besides the gifts of a. scholarship lit has been the custom of the unit to advance the price of a business course to several girls every year and after furnishing the course obtaining a place for them, the girls often return the money in small payments just at their own convenience. This money is at once put to work again and for the girls in business college form an endless chain-not only are they given an edu- cation, but the personal side of their life is looked after. The members of the unit take great interest in their girls and they try to do all<the can to make life brighter and happier for tfss,s those less fortunately placed in the Not long ago the juvenile court called the president of the unit to ask if they were in a position to help, one of their girls who really was not case for the court. Members at once went out to the court and found dear girl of 14 who was placed there for lack of a better place to send her. She wanted to go to school but needed so many things. A good school was found and all arrangements were made for her to leave in a few days
 l In the meantime the committee, who had gone to see her, called various members of the unit, asking for every thing from a trunk to pocket book. So many responded that the committee not only had complete outfit of every thing a girl could possibly want, but an automobile full of extra things, so many spring hats than when they un- loaded the matron asked if they were going to open millinery shop at the court. Not that" they said, but ev- cry girl here who needs a hat shall have one" ts
 These are some of the reasons for the Charity ball, which will be given the evening of April 20 at the Country club, to be able to meet the demands made on the members of the Linley Heflin unit.
