The Big Muddy Project

In the proposed Big Muddy irrigation project.
Sheridan county possibly has one of its most logical
and feasible WAFER conservation UNDERTAKINGS. not
from an engineers standpoint necessarily. but rather
from the standpoint of the direct benefit to a great
number of ptople. The proposed Bic Muddy project
would bring about irrigation along the Big Muddy
river from Redstone, east to Reseve. 1t would take
in the entire river valley which boasts productive and
fertile soil as good as anywhere in sheridan county.
To irrigate this extensive valley would not be a
stupendous undertaking. Natural waterways and con-
tours have made it entirely feasible and several times
survey lines have been run with satisfactory reports
from engineers.
In a territory such as ours, where water must be
conserved, whoehearted cooperation and interest
shiuld be given the movement. The possibility of an
irrigated territory in sheridan county more than S5
miles in length is not a proposal to be taken too light
ly. No one need be told the many direct benefits from
irrigation. Whether he be a property owner, busin-
essman or farmer. realizing an income even when ma
ture fails, interests should be directed towards seek
Ing the projects completion.
Many individuals have been working tirelessly
to bring about enough interest and support in an eff
fort to secure the project. Their efforts have met with
many disappointments inasmuch as barrier naturally
arise when such movements are started.
Surely Plentywood, in the heart of the proposed
irrigated area, should muster pulling power to see
that ii be given every consideration.
There are many ways that irrigation along the
Big Muddy river may become a reality, but the only
way that it can be speedily accomplished is by inter
est and cooperative work within the communities re-
ceiving the direct benefit.
To pass by and take too lightly an extensive
planning for the future" movement such as this and
especially at this time when federal and state bu-
reaus are water conservation minded. would be a re-
grettable expression of laxity.

BETTER HEALTH
! BY Dr. j. ROSSLYN carp
Director, New Mexico Bureau of Public Health
NINCENT'S ANGINA

Vincent's angina, or trench mouth
is an infectious disease. 1t begins
with a dryness and burning of the
gums or with a sore throat. If the
infection is in the gums they become
swollen, tender, an angry red and
frequently show raw bleeding sur
faces round the teeth. In the acute
stage there is fever with headache
and listlessness.
The infection may be conveyed di-
rectly by kissing, by droplets cough
ed or spoken into the air or by the
use of cups and eating utensils that
have been already used by an infect
ed person and have not been proper
ly sterilized.
The infection is especially liable
to take hold in a mouth that has
been neglected. Jagged teeth, over
hanging filings, pyorrhea pockets
create ideal conditions for the
germs. 1t is very probable too that
the gums are made more suscept-
ible to this infection by a diet de-
icient in Vitamin G.
1t would be mor easy TO prevent
the spread of infection if we knew
more about the relative Importance
of the causes of infection. Some peo-
pie believe that the disease is mainly
spread by the cups and glasses used
in soda water fountains, lunch coun-
tiers and restaurants. others, know
ing how very numerous are the plac-
es where glass are improperly
washed and never sterilized at all,
argue that IL this method of spread
ing the disease were important
everyone would have it by now.
Research is badly needed. In the
meantime the glass rinsed in war;
dirty water should be regarded as
dangerous. The public could do a
great deal to improve conditions IL
every customer would ask, before
ordering a drink: How has that
glass been s~terilized?" Until we feel
able to afford trained sanitarians to
do our inspecting for us, we must
do our own-or take the consequent
ces.

The Christian i'm Gods Keeping.
Epistle of Jude.
Golden Text. Jude ri.


Golden Text: Jude ri.
The short epistle of Jude is really
4 pamphlet or tract whose purpose
is to stifle heretical teaching. The
obscure author pleads with his read
ers to cling tenaciously to the ira
ditional beliefs Of the church, and
warns against men who are nomin-
ally Christian but really deny the
Christian faith. With graphic elo-
quence Jude denounces these impos-
tiers, sketching a dark picture of
their deceitful doctrine and loose
behavior. and threatening them with
the doom reserved for the blacklist
sinners.
We do not know the precise time
and place of this letter. Apparently
it was written in Palestine, and
while no particular church is men
toned, it seems clear that Jude had
in mind a definite group known as
Gnostics whose teachings flourished
in the church of the second century.
They held that God cannot be the
Creator of the world because matter
is evil, and that Jesus of Nazareth

and state programs, have the power
to say how the program shall be
applied to any individual farmer,
and to determine the extent of COM
pliance by any individual farmer.
The extent of each farmers COM
p~liance determines the size of his
benefit payments. If he is not salts
fed, he may appeal to the state COM
mittee, and from the committee, if
still unsatisied, he may go to The
region director, whose decision is
final.
Not the least important part of
the whole plan is the regional set-up
which is in line with the proposal
made by the President several years
ago, that the United States was too
large and its regions too diverse in
interests, to be administered from
Washington alone, while the state
units are not set upon any economic
plan. He suggested that the nation
should be divided into a number of
administrative regions, each with
its sub-White House, as it were,
with the elimination of state lines as
far as possible. A similar thought
prevails in the plan for seven
TWAS" for the administration of
the national power program. 1t is
understood that the administrative
regions provided for in the new farm
plan coincide with those which the
President believes should be estab-
lished in the power matter and In
other administrative plans.
Money Is the Motive
The motives far farmer participa-
ton in the new plan are clear
enough. First, there are the benefit
payments for soil conservation,
which is a term which can be
stretched to cover many kinds OF
regulation of production. These
benefits run to. 5000 or $500 a year
for a quarter-section farm. A second
reason for farmer participation is
expectation, If not the guaran-
tee, Of better prices for farm prod
ncts. And a third reason Is the con-
,ervation of the soil of his farm.

As the details of the administra-
lions proposed farm program for
1888 are learned, something like a
complete picture begins to emerge.
II is a picture which shows, for the
first time in American history, the
.reat majority Of the farmers band
ed together as a single economic
unit.
That is the clear purpose which
the Administration has in mind.
The manner in which farmers are
being organized for participation
in the new AAA activities be-
speaks a new relationship for farm
ers among themselves, with the
Government, and in their relation to
the nation as a whole.
Under the 1888 Agricultural Con-
servation program now being per-
fected, inducement will be held out
for more farmers to participate than
At any pr evious time. Every farmer
who participates will automatically
become a member Of his County
Agricultural Conservation Associ-
alton" These county associations
will be tied together through state,
regional and National setups.
Farmers Are United
This is calculated to create a
farmer unity which goes far beyond
anything which has ever been at
tempted in a democracy. If carried
through it will go much farther to-
ward bringing about a community
Of interest among all farmers, of all
sections, than any of the existing
farm organizations ever dreamed of
doing. 1t will tend to a solidarity
exceeding that of any labor organ
ization. 1t will, in effect, create an
agrarian democracy inside of the ma
national democracy, able to swing
Presidential elections and dictate
national policies, once the farmers
are all brought into line.
There is difference of opinion in
Washington as to whether, through
this tie-up, the Federal Government
will control the farmers or the far
mers will control the Federal Gov
eminent, so far as agriculture is
concerned. Spokesman for the far
mers who have been participating in
the conferences speak confidently of
the new plan as "our program" Ger
tainly a great deal of political DOW
er Will flow through the lines it is
planned to set up, but it may flow
IN both directions. Certainly nobody
can safely say. that anybody controls
that power now, nor is it likely that
the power which the plan will con-
Ter upon farmers as a whole will
die with the passing of any person
or any political party. The partici-
patlns farmers represent divergent
political and other beliefs. But in
meeting together and working to-
gether towards a common goal, thew
are becoming joined together
through their pocket nerves. in
such a way as to make them feel
their power and want to retain it.
New National Farm Set-up
The farmers themselves help to
formulate and administer their pro-
gram. They also help to meet the
costs. First, the program has been
worked out by the AAA officials

Balancing the Budget of Our Resources

IN editorial from a sunday issue of the Great
Falls Tribune brought comment from President Roo
sevelt as he sped through Montana. He raised from
his lap the torn editorial page of the newspaper and
said to a delegation Of Montanans:
Il am glad to be helpful to Montana. l was de-
lighted this morning to read during my breakfast

o. Our Resources Great Falls must be a delightful

this editorial in some one of my future speeches"

THE EDITORIAL

be brought into balance next year was dropped into
his Bonneville speech by the president in a casual
reference, but his main talk there called attention to
another budget, that of our national resources. For in
the main the comprehensive program of the Roose-
welt administration has been an attempt to bring that
greater budget into balance.
Conservation is nothing short of an attempt to
stop the deficit use Of our national wealth. For many
decades we have been operating on an unbalanced
BUDGET there, using up the capital of our natural re-
sources in serene Indifference to the fact that they
would some day be exhausted through destructive
policies.
We have mined the fertility out Of millions of
acres 81 rich soil until they no longer pay a decent
living 10 those settled upon them. We have DESTROYED
millions more by erosion of wind and water because
we stripped them of their protective cover of trees
and grass without afording them other protection.
We have moved down our forests faster than they
could renew themselves and have exploited our I'M
dergrousd wealth in a wasteful manner and with
reckless disregard of future needs.
We have destroyed stable rural life to build ire
mendous cities with poisonous slums that cannot re-
produce themselves but must continue to suck into
their boundaries fresh supplies of human beings from
stagnating rural sections. We have wasted and eroded
large human resources by denial of opportunity and
economic justice.
And because we have 'made money" in doing so
ana plled up nominal wealth in securities and bank
balances we have lost sight of the fact that the nat
ural resources of the land, our permanent capital
was being converted into those nominal evidences of
wealth at a faster rate than our real wealth was be-
Ing replaced.
That is the unbalanced budget that is most seri-
ous' and 1t is to balance that budget that the great
program of conservation and useful public works is
being carried out. The success of this form of budget
balancing is more important to the future of America
than that of the treasury, important as the latter NAV
be.

friends If you would retain their friendship.
