CUT In BEET
ACREAGE Seen
BY DELEGATES
Men Return from Reclamation
Meet and Say Situation
Is Serious.
Also Discuss Missouri River
Water Agreements with
Commissioner.

General opinion among delegate!
at the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Reclamation association in
Denver was that sugar beet acreage
in the mountain states will be
greatly curtailed next year, it was
reported on their return Wednesday
by Joseph Shower and Otto M
ChristinSon of Glasgow, who were
among Montana representatives al
the convention.
The securing of Mexican labor
was believed to be held up by de-
partmental red tape. Japanese labor
from relocation centers has been
procurable only in limited numbers
and many are unframed to do beet
work." Mr.. Shower said.
1T was felt that it vas too late
to correct the labor situation caused
by drafting of farm labor and exc
dus of farmers to war work. Mech
anization offers a solution if pri-
critics can be obtained"
At Beet Meeting
The delegates attended a meeting
of the Western Beet Growers asSo-
citation before the reclamation con-
vention. They found that "the beet
labor situation is critical everywhere
from Texas north to Montana"
Later the delegates met with Com
missioner John C. Page of the recla-
nation bureau, along with North
Dakota and Wyoming men, to dis
cuss interstate compacts for use of
water in the Missouri watershed. An
eight-state agreement, Mr.. Page
said, is necessary to the proper de-
velopment of the Missouri river
projects.
He added that prospects for i'm
mediate work on projects are not
likely unless their power production
is regarded as important or unless
a food shortage develops.
Warden Is Speaker
President o. S. Warden of the ma
tional association, in his address,
Suggested a tentative formula for
control of watershed development.
He frankly criticized the govern
ment's handling of the sugar and
rubber problems.
John w. Haw of st. Paul, general
agricultural agent of the Northern
Pacific railway, declared in his adj
dress that a national food shortage
is in the making. He advocated that
agriculture be given the same status
as a wal industry and that the draft
and hire of labor from farms be
stopped by appropriate legislation.
Another speaker was c. H. Wilson
of Denver, former Valley county
agent, who discussed the part the
farm security administration plays
in Case Wheeler projects. The dele
gates discussed local projects with
him.
Maj. Gen. Eugene Reybold, chief
of army engineers, made a stirring
address, they said, urging every eff
fort be bent toward winning the
war. He stressed, however, that the
army engineers are very interested
in irrigation and wherever possible
they will cooperate with the bureau
of reclamation.
