THE BISMARCK T South: Dakota Farmers Like Insurance Irrigation Gives Former North Dakota Man in Spearfish Area Getting Along ‘on Five Acres peetsdaaeyy muskmelons, corn, apples and all the usual fall vegetables. - See Demarcation Line By now we realixed we were pass- ing through an irrigated district. Looking away to the hills on either side ‘we could see a sharp line of demarcation where the watered land ended and the drouth-seared coun- try began. i Halting beside a particularly at- ditches on each side of the highway were two clear streams of water diverted from Spearfish creek. Simi- lar ditches carried life-giving water to other parts of the valley. The owner -of the stand, the five acres back of it and the modest house and barn was a friendly chap, willing to take time out for a visit. He had moved here from # half section farm south of Bowman, N. D., the pre- vious year. As he related his losing battle with nature during the pre- vious five years it was evident he was @ typical victim of the drouth. As he pointed out the boundaries of his “farm” and explained that his crop this year was 12 tons of choice alfalfa, plenty of garden truck for home: use and some to sell, plus pas- western half of both Dakotas make it possible to put in small storage dams to impound spring runoff water in ‘varying, smounts. “Suppose,” he said, “those fellows up north in the hills had only five acres of irrigated alfalfa land this ld be the differ- alee ge ae Irrigat “You believe then that irrigation ts oe of the answers to the rehabilite- tion problem confronting the govern- ment in the drouth area?” I ventured. “Yes, indeed.” The farmer was positive in his answer. “I don’t mean it ts the answer to every individua: case, because there are lots of farms where irrigation is impossible. But, look at the map of western North and South Dakota. Lots of river valleys! and lesser tributaries sloping away tothe Missouri river. All of these streams and many creeks have po- tential irrigation basins along their! courses. Some families might have to be resettled, but. that doesn’t | mean moving them clear out of the country as some of our local business- men have ne eg a be ce Jacally, 80 ) » by. realigning farm bolndafies eo each farmer will have a patch of irrigated land along with plenty of upland for range. In Gry years this income might drop to @ bare subsistence from his watered ture for his cow, I dubiously in- T asked. “Well, for fellows T’m not a stockman.

Started as Cooperative “Yes, for the individual it is,” he replied. “But take this layout here. in this valley. We started as a farm- ers’ cooperative enterprise called the Redwater Irriation association. . It embraces around 16,000 acres. The Belle Fourche Irrigation Project started by the government in 1910, encompasses about 65,000 acres, After the initial cost there isn’t much ex- pay out. With the government committed to the task of a long range rehabilitation program out here and ready to use its various construction and finance agencies to help, there is no reason why the fellow who has been cleaned out by the drouth can’t make a new start right here instead of moving out west, to Alaska or some distant point. I came here from an 8-acre Indiana farm but I’m not hankering to go back.” All But Bums Work “Bome people say there is too much work to irrigation for what you get out of it,” I remarked. “They aren’t farmers,” retorted this sturdy westerner. “They're just an- other type of bum. It’s a lot of work milking and caring for those 15 cows twice a day seven days a week the year around, but we live better now than when I tried to raise only grain and some dogies out here. The gov- ernment shouldn't help that kind of person. If they built a dam. on his place he’d want someone to put the water on the land and harvest the crop. But no use gettin’ excited about that; you town guys have the same kind of shifters livin’ on your streets, too, don’t you! Records indicate that the total motor car registration for the world last year was 37,275,264, which, with the exception of 1929 and 1930, was the highest in history.
