DRAINAGE DIRE
NEED OF BOISE
PROJECT LANDS
Walter GriHiths Appeals
to. Kiwanis Club for
Support of Much Need
ed Improvement.

That concerted action is imperative
and the drainage for the Boise prof.
ect must be the first order of bust
ness" were assertions made by Walter
Griffiths, local attorney and irriga-
ton authority.
"Here is a problem which must be
met right now" Mr. Griffiths de-
clared. He challenged Caldwell bust
ness men at the Kiwanis luncheon
Thursday relative to the general
knowledge of this new development
in Boise project history and startled
his audience when he asserted that Is
per cent of the land on the project
today is already seeped or is rapidly
becoming unfit for cultivation through
failure to take full drainage precau-
tions.
Mr.. Griffiths pointed out specific
instances of land that had become
water logged in the past year, laying
stress upon the Wilder territory, once
regarded as the cream Of the land or
one of the very best projects in thu
il United States. That the conditions
!, lconfronting this particular owner o
40 acres are common to great por
ton of the project was Mr.. Griffith
, assertion who urged all possible co
: operation and expedited action in car
: Trying out relief measures through
| drainage.
Tom Tarr of the Fargo district as
serted that present measures TO
carrying on drainage work are nc
sufficient because they are based o
the cash payment plan.
"I believe that not more than 4
lper cent of farmers on this proje'
Ihave been able to pay their constru
tion charges this year, How, the
can they hope to dig up addition
: cash for drainage work." he asket
j The only method, in the opinion
