nual report today Of DR.. Elwood
Mead. commissioner Of reclamation.
Endorsing the conclusion OF Ithe
special advisory committee on recia-
nation, embodied In a bill which has
passed the House and Is pending be-
fore the Senate, DR.. Mead called at
tention to a .dawning realization that
development requires q study Of agri-
cultural and economic problems. and
the perfection Of settlement and de-
velopment. plans, II lands are to be
brought under cultivation without
disastrous delays. and waste OF
money and effort.
All the changes urged by the COM
mittee would be helpful. DR.. Mead
asserted. 'but If legislation stops
with these, the amended reclamation
act will not provide working plan
for the development Of new projects.
The reason for this is the fact that
many of the best opportunities for
future reclamation are where the
land Is now privately owned"
Discussing the committees coordi-
mated plan of settlement. under
which the government would be able
to purchase or control all privately
owned lands in excess Of homestead
units, Commissioner Mead asserted
that IL control of settlement were
made possible his bureau could go
ahead with" development. certain
that the future settler could get his
farm ut its actual value. 1t could
proceed to subdivide excess lands in
to farms of proper size, could adjust
the prices of land to agree with pro-
ductive values, and could give long
time payments with low interest"
Touching on the future need for
state cooperation and state aid in the
settlement and agricultural develop
ment of projects, the report recites
that the state has an even greater
interest than the nation in the char
acter of the people who make homes
on this land, since 1.-The foundation
of the states future civilization is
laid in these new communities"
During the year the bureau irri-
gated 1,21S,700 acres Of land covered
by project census statistics. On the
cropped area of 1,179,S70 acres, crops
were grown having a gross value of
more than 65,000,00O, or $55 an acre
cropped. as compared with n gross
value of s5O,OO0.OOO and SAB an acre
in the preceding year. Including
land furnished in whole or in part
with water from works Of the bur
eau, the gross value Of crops produce
ed in 1928 amounted to more than
$102.000.000, as compared with $685.
100000 in 1922. Irrigation works
operated by the bureau included 100
storage and diversion dams, moro
than $4,000 miles of canals, bitches
and drains: $50 miles of pipe line,
and thousands of structures incident
to the carriage and distribution Of
water. On irrigation projects were
built $500 canal structures, and
1.100 bridges, and the total excaya- =
tion amounted to, nearly 2s5.ooo,ooO
cubic yards.

ty delivered a paper on the subject ana
the findings of Professor Gross OF Bow
doin College were taken up by the offi-
cials and members. Commissioner Par
sons said yesterday that the general
opinion seemed to be that the blue
louise pest with which some of the
birds are affected is not fatal, but that
there is a worm which appears in the
crop of the bird which Is fatal and Tar
more dangerous.
This disease, however. has not been
affecting the Maine partridge to any
extent. Professor Gross in q recent
letter to Commissioner Parsons stated
that he had received up to that time
only four specimens taken in 0the
Maine woods. It is believed that the
seasonal conditions, the dry weather
in the State. had more to do with the
disappearance of the birds than any
thing else. as they appeared to be col
lected in the swamps and wet places.
During the hunting season, after the
rains, the birds spread out and plenty
of birds in the woods" was the report
in the northern counties.
Commissioner Parsons said that
many specimens were received from
New York, Massachusetts and other
places, but the fact that very few
specimens were found in this State
with the large number of hunters and
the big extent of the forestry section.

instituted divorce proceedings again
ut him and he tried to make q re-
conciliation with her. but she re-
fused: that Holland fired two shots
at his wife, one lodging in her
shoulder and the other in her mouth.
Mrs. Holland died a few days later
at the Augusta General hospital

tering hisaforehead above the right
eye and lodging in the rear of his
skull. and the second shot entering

chased the revolver for the purpose
Of killing himself; that things were
going wrong at home and that Mar
don had made threats to him two
months before the shooting. Hol-
land asserted that he himself had
been drinking.
