DESCRIPTION: Mr. Roberts saying, “It’s not the land nor the water nor the man that’s going to make the success or failure for these farmers on this project. It could be a Paradise, and was meant to be, but I don’t think it’s going to be a go. It’s the market that makes the success or the failure. Our hay sells for $4.00 a ton, our hogs for 6 ½ cents, and we get 9 ½ cents for clover seed that we had to pay 42 cents for in ’36, when I came.”
