Government irrigation battle pits big landowners versus small
A long analysis tracks the historic fight over government irrigation in California and Congress. It notes rider amendments by Elliott and Carter to favor large Central Valley ranches, challenging Ickes and small-farm advocates whom the piece casts as defending 160-acre limits and practical smallholdings. It also touches on War Manpower policy quirks and a looming rail worker vacation dispute.
