APP0RTI0N SO
ACRE FEET OF
WATER TO LANDS

Farmers of San Carlos Irriga-
ton and Drainage District will
have an extra six tenths of an
acre foot of water for irrigation
this season according to an an
nouncement of the third appor-
tionment of water for the year
which was issued this week by
Project Engineer c. ]. Moody of
the United States Indian Service.
This statement comes in a week
in which there was a net gain of
4,435 acre feet of water impound-
ed by Coolidge Dam as a result
OF summer rains on the upper
Gi!a water shed and water for ir.
rigation purposes in the valley
coming from flash floods in the
San Pedro river.
The official order for the third
apportionment of water from Cool
idge Dam points out that there
are but $4,000 acres in cultivation
this year within the boundaries of
the project including both white
and Indian lands.
The notice of apportionment, in
part, follows:
"The SECOND APPORTION-
MENT of stored and pumped wa
ter for lands of the San Carlos
Project for the Calendar Year
1941 provided 459,225 acre feet of
water for distribution to 100 900
acres of project lands, this water
measured at the source of supply
and subject to evaporation and
transportation losses. 1t was es-
timated THAT three 81 acre feet
per acre would be available at the
point of delivery to farms.
1T has now been determined
that not to exceed Eighty-four
Thousand (S4,00O) acres is includ-
ed in farms that are under culti-
walton and irrigation during the
present calendar year. Without
increasing the amount of water to
be taken from the total Project
supply, the amount of water avail
able at the farm will be increased
en- account of using a lesser num-
Der of acres and it is now estimat-
ed that three and six-tenths (3.6)
acre feet per acre may be deliv-
cred t. farms during the calendar
year.
This apportionment shall ap-
ply TO all lands under constructed
works which are under cultivation
and irrigation. The same amount
Of water per acre is available to
all lands of the project so far as
the physical conditions affecting
delivery will permit, and subject
to the proper use of the water on
the land"

MCFARLAND TALKS
TO LEGI0NNAIRES
AT PRESCOTT MEET

Addressing members of the
American Legion in convention at
Prescott yesterday. United States
Senator Ernest Mcfarland dis
cussing conditions and events of
the last world war. said:
Following the War, the Amer
lean people, disillosioned and with
ideals shattered, decided to mind
their own business, as If by ig-
noring the rest of the world they
could escape being touched by
world conditions and world prob
lens. Never again, We said, would
we be mixed up in other peoples
wars. We had gone to war to
make the world safe for demOc-
racy and we had expected the
peace treaty to settle everything
just the way we wanted 1t. The
treaty was a big disappointment.
When it failed to guarantee to end
war or make the world safe for
anyone or anything, we gave up
In disgust. Instead of working
fol- peace, after 1920 we simply
talked against war. We decided
to be neutral and let the rest of
the world go where ii would. The
rest of the world has gone there.
In treating of the record of Hit
Ter, as delineated by the events
of the past several years, the Sen
ator told his audience:
What is Naziism? II we are
to Judge it by the standards we
apply to any other political phi
losophy, its accomplishments and
its results, we are driven to the
conclusion that is but information
al eangsterism. Under Hitler, the
German nation is organized but
for one purpose: to make war on
the rest of the world.
Like all criminals, Hitler has
had a ready alibi each time he
has attacked and invaded a help
less and unoffending neighbor."
After a discussion of the nation
al defense policies and programs
dealt with by Congress in recent
months-particularly the Lease
Lend policy and the extension of
the term of service of selectees-
the Senator called for unity be-
hiEd the defense effort. He said
in part:
THE American people have de-
termined upon their course In this
hour. We are a free people and
we intend to remain free; we
have had no experience at being
slaves, and we do not intend to
have it now; the goose-step will
always be out-of-step here. We
are irrevocably committed to a
policy of all-out aid to Britain and
full speed ahead on our own de-
fenses. Now is the time for SUI
preme effort by a united nation,
thoroughly conscious of the dan
gers which face it, resolved to
dedicate its manpower and ma
terials to national security"
In discussing the bill extending
the term of service of selectees
the Senator pointed out that all
those charged with the RESPONSE
bility of training our men in the
service testified that the men are
not now completely trained and
that to fail to retain them for a
sufficient time to enable them to
complete their training would re-
suit in losing completely the train
ing already given them.
