r. A. Faul, a rugged individualist
who guided the project through its
hectic first year, concluded:
About the only difference be-
tween this cooperative farm plan
and that operated in Russia is that
the Government is paid its share

tablish the 50 families in comfort

of fertile, irrigated Gila Valley land.
it should entrust control to trained

of directors, few If any Of whom
has had executive experience.

families ever will receive other than
an existence from the project, which
remains the property of the govern
ment.
