Gamental value, the measure of life
itself lay in the water. without
which no living being. animal or
thing can survive. Many suffered the
most horrible form OF death, that
from thirst But the lesson was not
lost on the survivors, who thus
learned that not land but water is
the ultimate value. and that not gold
but human sympathy, and mutual
support and eventual solidarity are
the real riches. the very ends of
existence. Thus new conceptions of
human rights. new views OF human
law, grew up in the strong glare of
the desert sunshine; and there are
those who today declare that the
highest standards OF equity and law,
the clearest ethical conceptions. the
sOundest sense OF relative values to
be found among men have arisen, and
are still arising. in the arid portions
OF the country where irrigation sus-
tains life. and that these standards
are gradually spreading throughout

I questions confront the American peO-

will be settled right and no other
section of the country can contrib
ute more to right settlement than

! ton. in which human life and the
| things most necessary for its main
tenance are brought into direct con-
nectiOn and relation, and in which
human sentiments and emotions are
balanced with natural resources anG
conditions. The organisms OF the
desert are different from those of
humid lands. in that they have been
adjusted 10 the more rigorous sur
rOundings; their vitality is more in
tense and tenacious: and. in like
manner, the human individuals and
families of the one-time desert have
evolved. and are still evolving. Il

The Real Gift Of irrigation.

While the benefits derived from irri-
CATION are often stated in measur-
able terms by acres of land brought
under bitches. by bushels or tons OF
product. and by increased population
of arid states-all this, great Though
il be fails To express the full meas
ur. of the benefits: for the chief gift
Of irrigation lies in the raising OF
standards Of excellence.
Through irrigation, new standards
for fruit have been set. Apples grown
on irrigated land have richness OF
color and flavor, a perfection OF form
and fullness of size that have been a
revelation to the world. Today the
apples of irrigated orchards supply
the tables of aristocracy. and even
ROYALTY. throughout Europe. and the
European demand is so great that APP
