These two things water and roads.

streams and their reservoirs and dams depend the future
crops of this locality With crops assured by irrigation and
proper drainage facilities, the southwest viii be the most
iveabe place in the western hemisphere For everything
that makes for health and comfort is already here
With crops assured It viii not do to neglect the roads
over which they must be hauled to market The citizens
