important things in the history of the
United States"
Il remember the inception of the
irrigation laws. Then Utah was the
only state that understood what irri-

memorable in my life. These are the
reclamation Of the arid lands of this
country and the conservation of our
natural resources by a wel-defined
forestry policy.
