Robinson Crusoe’s Goat Encouragement is given to the irrigation effort in North commissioner, to the Rivers and Harbors Congress. Addressing that organization, Mr. Page explained that the two-score projects completed in the West are only about as | large in area as two-thirds of Connecticut but that all of the costs of these projects have been levied against the lands improved and that THE INVESTMENT IS BEING REPAID AND IT . WILL BE REPAID IN FULL, In other words, irrigated agriculture is PROVING PROF- ITABLE. Asking his hearers not to regard the movement as insig- nificant because of its size, he called attention to the fact that the value of Robinson Crusoe’s goat was not measured by its | size but by Robinson Crusoe’s need for a goat. 2 The parallel, he said, is that the value of a reclamation / project is not to be measured by its size but by the need for it. i His words are clearly applicable to North Dakota where farmers and the state water commission are making an effort to start irrigation in the only manner which promises to be successful, by co-operation with farmers already on the land. North Dakota needs a goat just as much as Robinson Crusoe ‘% did. The real difficulty lies in finding a way to make it grow » fast enough to meet our needs. Federal Figuring One of the reasons the federal government is going to insist that the various states assume a greater share of the relief Toad is evident from the debt statistics of many commonwealths. North Dakota, according to a recent compilation by the q 4 Associated Press, owed $36,593,000 in 1983 and only, $22,188,000 i ip 1987, a drop of more than $14,000,000. Idwa owed/$11,000,- iF # 000 in 1933 and $6,600,000 in 1937, while Wisconsin owed $184,- t i 936,636 in 1933 and $158,726,054 in 1987. Minnesota showed Hi a rise from $112,189,552 to $128,675,703. i Apparently the feeling is growing in Washington that Uncle Sam should make his nephews put their backs under the load. {} Alsc, it is rather poor politics for the administration to accept # responsibility for a steadily increasing national debt while many " : Dakota by a recent statement of John C.

It will be an unusual congress if it is. 2.
