- - StltuteS one OF the
most important con-
ferences of the year on subjects per-
tanning to the material and moral adj
vancement of the people of the country
as whole. While the reclamation Of
arid and swamp lands will have chief
place on the program. there will also
be addresses on forestry, deep water
ways, good roads and home building.
The economic value OF irrigation
whether by national project or private
enterprise. cannot be measured In dol
lars and cents. 1t is no longer an eX-
pertinent In the west: 1t is u confirmed
success from commercial ana financial
viewpoints, and economists declare
that the development Of the country
will provide safety valve against the
impending dangers Of congestion in
the cities Of the east. Five to ten
acres of land in the irrigated districts
will provide shelter, food and raiment
for family and enable Its owner to
put aside from $500 to $1,000 a year.
Scores Of hundreds Of men and wom-
en-, many Of whom came from the
crowded cities in the east and SOUTH
are doing that much or better In the
west today.

publics, China and Japan. Officials Of
