S~UBSTINENCE AREA
AT MALTA

Observation-Disclosures will be
the seem of one of the "New
Deals" revolutionary experiments,
if the federal government APP
proves of an irrigation area col
o~nization plan to be proposed at
Malta, it was reported this week.
A group of dry-land farmers in
this region hope to participate in
the governments "substinence
farm" program, which proposes to
transfer dry-land farmers to irri-
gated tracts and supply them with
financial assistance, while they
learn to earn their living and be-
come independent.
The government proposes to
purchase these tracts outright, il
is understood here, provide addi-
tional funds for construction nec-
essary to make the land tillable,
and contract with the "new set
tiers" for repayment over a per-
iod of years.
1t was reported this week that
options to purchase such land for
settlement have been taken out in
Phillips, Blaine and Valley coun-
ties in the Milk River valley.
Development of the local scheme
is still in the formative stage, but
department Of agriculture officials
are said to have sanctioned pre-
liminary efforts, and should the
arrangements for land, settlers
and other requirements be met in
a satisfactory manner, there is
said to be an excellent chance the
Milk River experiment will be
authorized.

the end, 21-17. Belfry players
were Brough, Setterland, P,
