ish security and happiness for
millions of men, women and
children?
Uncle Sam is still rich enough
to give us all farm. And an
irrigated farm, at that. 1t is not
"a dream but fact that the pres
ent population of the United States
can be duplicated on the and pub
lie domain in the west
This can be done without max
ing new competitors for those al
ready engaged in agricultural pur,
suits in the east and in the south.
On the other hand, this wonderful
act of planting new nation in
what is now all but an unbroken
wilderness will confer enormous
benefits on those sections which
are already covered with farms,
factories and towns.
The subjugation and settlement
of the great empire of public lands
means that every factory wheel in
the United States must whirl fast
er, that every banking house must
handle more money, and that
every railroad must transport
passengers and freight. This. in
turn, means larger and buster
population in every eastern and
southern town, and that, of course,
will quicken and enlarge the de-
mand for all the products of the
soil in the older sections of the
country.
In the meantime that which is
grown from the soil to be conquer
ed by irrigation in the west will
go almost e1clusivly to the feeding
of new home-markets to be created
within the arid region itself and to
the satisfaction of unlimited de-
mands in the Orient and in the
frozen north.
Congress has decreed that the
great policy Of national irrigation
shall be entered upon without de-
lay. Already the engineers and

in spite of the fact that the Presi
dent of the United States has
