Congressman Reeder Thinks Conserva tion of Rainfall Would Be of Ma terial Help to That Region. Topeka, Kan. Congressman Uec-d-er of Kansas, chairman of the house committee on irrigation, wants the glvernuient to widen its work in re gard to the establishment of irrigation projects In the semi-arid district. He will endeavor to get some legislation this winter embodying his ideas. "It Is all right Tor the government to build the big projects in the far West," said he. "Such plants are ab solutely necessary for the development of that section. Hut money also should be spent establishing suitable irri gation projects east of the Rockies, The same amount of funds spent there will open up three times as many fer tile farms." It is simply a catch basin proposi tion east of the Rockies. Enough water falls during the year to raise crops, if It were conserved. The trouble U It falls at the wrong time of the year and runs off before the crops need it. Then when they need rain It doesn't come. In recent years enough moisture has fallen at the proper time la West ern Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, Easlern Colorado and Northern Texas to produce fairly good crops. Hut with the water which fall on that, section all conserved there would never be any excuse for a crop failure. Mr. Keeder'a plan Is for the govern ment to supervise the construction of storage reservoirs In the territory east of the Ko kien aud catch all the w ater that falls.
