have been benefited by irrigation and
from the nature of the soil that l saw
and a study of the conditions in Okla
homa, I am confident that irrigation
would be entirely feasible in this
state, and that nothing like the
amount of water would be required
for our purposes as found to be neCes-
sary at these places, for the reason
that a study of the rainfall in Okla
homa since its first settlement shows
that every year there is sufficient pre-.
cipitation to raise bumper crops were
it properly distributed and were we
to place ourselves in position Ito
preserve the water that falls in the
winter and spring and early summer
months, and that good crops could be
insured each year
There is no doubt but what Okla
homa soil is more productive than
many tracts of land l saw in Colo
RADIO which were producing immense
crops by reason of irrigation.
I'm Denver l inspected the display
Of the agricultural products Of that
state, and especially those which had
been produced on irrigated land. 1t
was a surprise to see the quality and
quantity of different kinds Of crops,
such as wheat, corn, oats, sugar beets,
etc, that are being produced in that
state on land which, previous to the
days of irrigation, would grow nothing
save short grass and cactus.
after an Investigation of these
plants and other products and study
of the conditions in Colorado, l can
see great possibilities for Oklahoma
agricultural interests if our people
will only take up the matter Of irri-
Cation and a preservation of our rain
fall.
There may be other ways in which
it would be better to do this work,

most of the automobile competition
