Our country has a well-defined policy of reclamation established under statutory authority. This: policy should be continued and made. a self-sustaining activity administered in a manner that will meet. local requirements and bring our arid lands into a profitable state of cultivation as fast as there is a market for their products. Legislation is pending based on the report. of the Fact Finding Commission for the proper relief of those needing extension of time in which to meet their payments on irrigated land, and for additional amendments and reforms of our reclamation laws, which are all exceedingly important and should be enacted at once.
