Some of the reclamation phases of Boulder Dam are sound. as are its provisions for flood control and power. More than half of the acreage. however. will simply add to the existing agricultural surplus. and the man who farms this area will find no market for his crops. Fifty years from now the picture may change. but with immigration stopped and the birth rate falling it is unlikely that this additional land will ever be needed. I want to emphasize anew that reclamation projects of this type are destructive alike to the farmer who is already on the land and those who settle on these reclaimed areas. When either group brings his crop to the market he is confronted with falling prices that do not give him and his a decent living.
