"The whole future prosperity OF
your community depends upon the best
utilization of the lands now under ir-
rigation and the building of new sys-
TENS to serve large areas of other
lands equally productive potentially,
but now barren," writes Mr.. Tiffany.
"Our first patriotic duty as. irriga-
tors during the term of the war is to
bring every acre to it's maximum pro-
ductive capacity, but we should at the
same time be devising ways and means
thru which, when the war is ended, we
will be able to take up an active pro-
gram of irrigation construction to
meet the demand for more land and
increased agricultural production,
which has always followed at the
close of great war;"
