/ stated that it would require from
$4,000 to $1,000 to improve and equip
an S0-acre farm; that settlers with

farms in the east and south.
/ believe We must look for settlers
who have between $4,000 and $4,000

for completing farm development.
believe if we accept them as settlers
and permit them to expend all their
capital, we are bound to provide a
source from which the remainder OF
the capital needed to complete farm
development can be secured.
An excellent bill for this purpose
was introduced i'm the house and in
the senate by Congressman Winter
and Senator Kendrick, respectively

Water for Irrigation Should be
Worth Its Cost
The fundamental question of all
future projects ought to be, will the
productive value of the water in ir-
rigation be worth what it costs to
provide it? This is far more impor-
tant than it was twenty-five years
ago because the costs of construc-
ton and of farm development are
two or three times as great as they
were then. When congress passed the
reclamation act, $25 an acre was re-
garded as the maximum construction
cost which any settler could afford
to pay. Even this figure seemed pre-
posterous to the pioneer.
About that time q cattleman met
a settler who had agreed to pay $40
an acre for water right in a private
ditch. He told the settler he could
never do it and he might as well end
his misery at once by jumping in the
river and drowning himself. The cat
