New Irrigation Projects
Create Credit Problems
By CLYDE E.. STEWART


are in this category. Long-term credit
for agriculture from private credit
sources is also limited. Thus, credit for
land purchases and land development is
considerably restricted.
Settlers on new irrigation projects
and new land usually are lacking in two
fundamentals of present credit policy.
They own few resources-their equity is
small-and they do not have an estab-
lished, productive farm. They need re-
sources through credit or other means
if they are to achieve productive farm
unit. Their goal is the farm that lending
agencies require before loans will be
made. This dilemma faces farmers and
others concerned with credit on new
projects.
A solution to this problem is not evil
dent. Several alternatives appear as
possibilities. The Federal government
has tackled the problem in limited
way by assuming risks--if they are
risks that private lenders argue are
prohibitive. But even Federal Land
Banks can't operate on new irrigation
projects. Technical assistance by agen-
cies like the Soil Conservation Service
and credit, mainly from the Farmers
Home Administration, are the chief
means of financial assistance now avail
able to settlers. These two agencies can
only partially meet the requirements
with their present programs.
On new projects, it appears that cred
it must be based to a large degree on
the integrity of the settler and his
family and on potentials of the prospec-
tive farms. Hundred per cent loans of
the Farmers Home Administration were
essentially of this nature, although this
organization also furnished advisory as
sistance. Loans to settlers apparently
cannot be covered by capital equity
If so, the loans will be small. These
loans must be based on prospective
capital resources, prospective income,
and the productive capacity that can
be achieved by loaned capital. Other
wise, settlers must progress slowly or
look for resources from other sources.
Merits of Accelerated Development
We have seen that a rapid rate of de-
velopment in Buffalo Rapids provided
productive farms in a short period of
time. The farms provided an income
base that could be used for lending
purposes. The area approached an
established agricultural condition with
in two or three years, although within
this time the settlers owned only a
small equity in resorces of the area.
Accelerated development may be
profitable alternative in the develop
ment of new farms. However, rapid de-
velopment poses difficult credit and
capital problems. Capital would have
to be provided and the means devised
so that farms could be developed rapid
ly.
Ii farmers and the general public
agree that additional credit is desirable
for farmers on new irrigation projects,
changes in present policies and pro-
grams appear fundamental.

which he analyses factors that Will
make for success of new irrigation
projects in Montana. AS basis for
the analysis Mr.. Stewart refers to
the experience of the Buffalo Rap
ids Project, which has proved to
be one of the most successful fed
eral irrigation projects thus far.
Mr.. Stewart is agricultural ecOnO-
mist with the Production EcOnOm-
les Research Branch of the USDA
Research Service, BOzeman.
LIBERAL CREDIT for buying farms
was an important feature of the Buffalo
Rapids Irrigation Project in eastern
Montana. That is, liberal credit in
terms of customary policies. After an
initial renting period of year or two,
farmers usually signed purchase con-
tracts for the farms. They made down
payments of per cent of the purchase
prices, based on 1894 prices. The rest
of the principal amount was amortized
over period of 40 years at per cent
interest. The Federal government sup
piled the capital for this program.
Lending policy on this project was
markedly different from programs of
most credit agencies. But reclamation
projects are unusual in themselves. 1t
may be necessary to broaden the regu-
lar programs in order to meet the
needs of new irrigation development.
In addition to special provisions for
purchase of the farms, several other
credit agencies contributed substantial
ly to progress on this project Farmers
Home Administration contributed great
: ly to farmer success through its pro-
gram of financial and advisory assis-
ance. The technical service program of
the Soil Conservation Service was of
material value to development of the
farms and of the project. Production
and living needs. The Bureau of Recla-
nation provided assistance that accom-
panies federal reclamation projects.
Private individuals were important
sources of credit for some families.
Adequacy of Credit
Although the supply of credit on this
project far exceeded the supply on
many new irrigation projects, several
inadequacies were apparent. Outstand-
ing needs. as expressed by the settlers,
were for construction of houses and
farm buildings and for purchase of
livestock. Credit was almost entirely
lacking for these purposes. The Farm
erS Home Administration program pro-
vided for building construction but bud
get limitations were very restrictive.
Credit agencies were considerably
more active on the project than can be
expected on most new projects. In adj
dition, special credit facilities were
available. Apparently a reasonably ade.
quate job was done in this area by
credit agencies.
Credit Problem on New Projects
Regular credit agencies have several
policies that are significant from the
standpoint of new farm development
These programs were developed pri
marily for established farming areas

The amount of credit usually is a per

Soviet Diplomatic Relations With

 It demanded that Hill, top-rank- ing Australian envoy to the Krem- lin, leave with the five-member embassy staff immediately. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko told Hill the Russians wanted the staff moved out in two or three days.

seriously considering testing the
administrations political job
clearance order involving civil
service jobs. The White House
is requiring agencies to list civil
service job vacancies with the
Republican National Committee
and to freeze the jobs for 80 days
so that G. o. P. applicants can
get first crack at them.
The committee is ready to test
it in court If it can find test
case. It will be more difficult to
find a more suitable test case
than it was in the clear-cut
Roth case. Mr.. Roth was sum-
marily fired from his job by the
Justice Department, which in
vited a legal ruling on the issues
involved.
This is because an employe or
job applicant will have to prove
he was denied a Federal job APP
pointment or promotion as a re-
suit of the political job-clearing
process. And this proof may be
difficult to obtain, at least to the
satisfaction of the Federal
courts.
However, the committee feels
certain it has the law on its side
in any good test case that might
develop. Mr.. Doherty and other
members of the committee de-
clare the law specifically pro-
hibits political clearances or any
other political consideration in
appointment or promotions in
volving civil service jobs.
Many top Civil Service Com
mission staff officials privately
agree with this view. Chairman
Philip Young and Associate Re-
publican Commissioner George
Moore, however, contend the
White House is within its legal
right in the political job clear
ance program.

FUrbon-RuroI BorderProposed
For Fairfax DepIored by Hoyt

A controversial feature of Fair
fax County's proposed new mas
ter plan has come in for indirect
attack by DR.. Homer Hoyt. land
economist who has studied the
areas suburban development
prospects.
DR.. Hoyt, in an address to the
Washington Board of Trade last
night, deplored as "a great mis-
take" any plans by officials in
nearby counties to draw a
boundary between urban
and rural development areas"
He did not apply his criticism
directly to Fairfax County or to
its proposed plan. But it fits al
most precisely a situation there
that may develop into q major
controversy.
Francis Dodd McHugh, con-
sultant who prepared the Fair
fax plan, suggested that urban
development be contained in the
easternmost part of the county,
extending roughly to the west
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-12-08

only about as far. q the towns of
Fairfax and Mclean.
Beyond this urban boundary
line, he proposed a central
belt" of agricultural land. where
lots no smaller than three acres
should be permitted. Farther to
the west, he proposed an even
more rural development section.
where lots no smaller than five
acres should be permitted. !.
One reason given by Mr.. Nc
Hugh in his proposal was con-
Germ for the county's sanitation
system He argued that, unless
a majority of the county's new
residents are located on the new
county sewer system, the system
will be extremely costly to main
tain and extend.
DR.. Hoyt, in his talk last night,
said it would be faulty planning
to "allow all of the land on one
side Of a highway to be developed
in a dense urban mass, while all
the land on the other side would
be condemned forever to remain
idle and useless"
