their biggest effort on building
up a strong organization in
Andhra. one of the poorest Of
India's 20 states. They pinned
their hopes on peasant dissatis-

achieve social and land reforms.

Story On JObIess
And EOOdless Is
Cause For Wonder

Garrett county's legislators were
somewhat startled over last week
end when people began to call them
about Garrett county's jobless
without food, as the result of a
story which appeared in The Balti-
more Evening Sun Of last Wednes-
day. Many people wondered if such
story was a true account.
A writer who came to the county
recounted the possibility Of per-
sons going hungry through the re-
maindel Of the winter because Of
the frequency with which the areas
unemployed appeared before the
Board of County Commissioners to
ask, first for work, then for food.
The board has not been able to
offer employment assistance. Re
quests for unemployment compen-
sation have doubled in Garrett
county in a single year, according
to information received at the
State Employment office, with the
total estimated at between 1900
and 800 in a county with a popu-
lation Of p POO.
Charles L. Briner, manager of
the State Employment agency
here, told the Evening Sun writer
he considered it worse than the de-
preston years.
Erwin Roth, County Commission
er, said possible solution might
be a county works project, and
said he hoped to talk State or Fed
eral authorities into matching a
$4,000 county roads department
fund with the total being used to
hire men whose financial need is
most critical.
In the welfare department the
state agency reported it had al
lotted $335,849 for use in the
county during the fiscal year end
ing in June, 1855, with almost $780,

sub-surface percolation. If the
water is applied to the land in the
right quantity and at the proper
rate, all Of it will soak into the
soil and all of it will be taken up
by the growing crop. The old
riparian rights would just not APP
ply to water for irrigation.
In the western states, where
most crops are irrigated, the water
rights are pretty we'll defined.
Each landowner knows, within
limits, how much water he will
have available and can plan his
crops and irrigations accordingly.
These rights, and the rules gov
erning them have been developed
from necessity, and over a period
Of years. Probably they are not al
ways satisfactory to all concerned.
But at least everyone knows where
he stands.
In most Of the eastern states the
landowner who is considering in
vesting in an expensive irrigation
system is in a real quandly. What
will happen if someone downstream
complains that he is using too
much water from the stream?
What can he do if an upstream
owner takes most Of the available
water. The Maryland Association
Of Soil Conservation Districts has
been studying these problems for
about a year. Their committee ON
water rights has been getting all
available information, and consult
ing the authorities in states hay
ing the same problem. If sprinkler
irrigation continues to spread it
viii become imperative to have
rules to fairly distribute the water.
1t is a complicated problem and
should be very thoroughly studied
before action is taken.

Recently | have heard a couple of
talks about water rights, and have
read several articles ON the same
subject. All of the speakers and
writer's seem TO be in perfect agree
ment about one thing. And that is
that, as far as the eastern part of
the country is concerned, the bust
ness Of water rights is one of
pretty complete confusion. Sooner
or later these rights will have to
be Defined 1t seems that most Of
the eastern states recognize, at
least to some extent, the old
riparian rights handed down from
English law The principle Of such
rights is that the owner of land
that adjoins stream may use the
waters from that stream so long
as he returns the water to the
streamhed undiminished in quanti-
ty and unimpaired in quality. That
was all very we'll as long as all
that the landowner wanted with
the water was to use it to turn a
water wheel and run a grist mill;
which is probably what was in the
minds Of those who first developed
the principles of riparian rights.
But when the owner of land that
adjoins or straddles a stream wants
to use the water to nrigate his
crops he has no idea as to just
where he stands. And from what
| can see and hear, he will have
hard time finding anyone who can
tell him.
When water is used for iTiga-
ton. none Of it runs off the land,
either by surface run-off or by

aside in case school has to be
