awak-ni to the fact that water
is the most important element in
the organic world, and that its
conservation is the most important
problem of today. In tie last
twenty years We have learned a
great many interesting things
about water and its use. We learn
ed how much water is required to
produce a.pound of vegetable mat
ter under normal conditions and
with this knowledge came the con-
viction that the greater part of the
agricultural world was suffering
from too much water rather than
from not enough. We have learned
that water car be stored in the soil
as in a reservoir, for the use of
the plant in times of drouth. We
have learned that there is water
enough falling on the we:tern half
OF the United States to produce
abundant crops on all of the till
able land if it be properly conserv-
ed and utilized. These discoveries
have doubled the agricultural posi-
bilities of this continent and Of the
world.
In the industrial field, Trough
the agency of electricity. We have
learned to put to use-turn into
available poxer-the rainfall of
the mluLtAin regions while i'm
pounding it for agricultural and
navigation purposes. Within o
decade the railroads OF the inter-
maintain sertions will oil be op r.
ated by electricity supplied by the
rains Of su inner and the melting

There is now pending in the con-
gress of the United States a bill

an appropriation of $500, 900, 600
per year for ten versa total of

to conserve and put to use the sur

most far reasnilg legislation that
has ever been attemated by the
national government. 1t makes the

be carried out as outlined, it will
mean the redemption of all swamp
