HARRY HERRIOT

HARRY HERRIOT, even as lit

He would gulp down his porridge long
before his brothers and sisters had
finished theirs, and he always rushed
AWAY to school with button of or
his hair unbrushed. In his room at
home, his mother and father had hung
up appropriate notices; but these, as
he grew up. seemed to have had no

AS a man he never could bear

always was trying to get ahead OF the
engine. His friends eventually got
used to having Herriot pass them by
on the street unseeing, and came to
attribute his oversights to that
strained expression Of his eyes. as II
mentally he had arrived long before
his physical body could bring him to
his destination. His wife knew that
she would find him pacing up and
down the floor If inadvertently she
kept him waiting for minute, and
his children were quite accustomed to
hurrying through their meals. Even
his broker realized In the end that,
willy-niily, Harry Herriot would buy
above par and sell below If the alter

Herriot's wife heard that. she was
really alarmed.
"Stay in bed, give your strength
time to return, don't be in a hurry to

to the office, with temperature, and
then he was laid low in earnest with
pneumonia threatening.
Eventually they pulled him through
more dead than alive. Then, lest he
dash through medical discipline again
some day, they sent him away back
to his old home to his mother and
father TO recuperate. They put him
to bed, too Ill to demonstrate, in the
room that he had had as a boy. The
furnishings were unchanged, and the
familiar notices on the walls began
to catch his attention. His mind, how
ever, rested upon one that he did
not remember. More haste, less
speed That held him. ''Truep' he
groaned. Here at last was the logical
answer to his habit of hurry.

ADVANTAGES Of
IRRIGATION
TOLD
Good Tools, Stock and Aid of
Science on Reclamation
Farms Needed
A. InternatiOnaI News service

CHICAGO, Nov. 90 Opportuni-
ties for home-malxing on the public
lands of this country have been
the greatest single influence in
shaping our national character,
Doctor Elwood Mead, Federal COM
missioner of reclamation, declared
~sforel the Western Society of
Civil Engineers.
"The reclamation act passed by
Congress in 1902 was the outcome
Of q new and broader conception
of the future OF irrigation. 1t
set aside the proceeds from the
sales Of public land; later on added
to this half Of the money coming
from mineral leases, to create a
fund with which to build irriga-
ton works. This fund was to be
augmented further by the money
received from water users In pay
ment for irrigation works. These
payments were to be made in in
stalments extending over twenty
years. No interest is charged on
deferred payments. Water users
pay the equivalent OF 5 per cent
interest for twenty, years and get
the works as a gift. Other govern
ments donate a part of the cost
Of important works but none build
them without charging interest.
THE act has been in operation
for twenty-three years. About
$3.50 ZOO, 900 has been spent on con-
struction. The repayments have
been disappointing. On only one
project has even half OF the cost
been repaid. On some, settlers
have paid nothing on construction
and are in debt for much OF the
cost OF operation.
Mead pointed out that in its agri-
sulturaa aspects, dotting the I'm
peopled areas with homes has
brought large returns. The crops
grown in 1924 on twenty-four
projects were worth SEE, 488 $50.
Those who live on the irrigated
farms number $4,000 and an adj
aitional $4,000 live in project
towns and sites. Reclamation, he
said, has done much to save some
arid States from economic col
lapse, pointing out that the situa-
ton in Nevada would be critical
Il It were not for the Newlands
project.
western irrigation areas are
now our main source OF long staple
cotton he said. Millions of dol
lars which now go to the irrigation
farmers OF Texas, Arizona and Cal
lfornia would, without Federal
reclamation, go abroad to the cot
ton growers of Egypt. Without
The local fodder crops of irrigated
farms, the range livestock industry
Of the arid West would collapse.
These Federal projects have given
an economic support to cities that
sorely needed it.. They have in
creased the business of transconti-
mental railroads, furnished markets
for the products Of factories and
contributed far more to : the eco
nornic strength OF this country
than is realized In the humid sec
lions of the country.
