DICKINSON FOR
DAM PROJECT
BY JOSEPH TIMMONS


Representative L. j. Dickinson OF
Iowa, leader of the farm group in
the House, yesterday gave his I'M
qualified Endorsement Of the Swing
Johnson bill for the Boulder dam
project on the lower Colorado River.
Mr.. Dickinson pointed out in par
ticular that the agricultural in.
terests Of the nation will not be in.
jured by the reclamation feature Of
the project, but on the contrary
actually will reap benefits.
II have personal knowledge of the
problems Of the lower Colorado
region" Representative Dickinson
said, 'by. reason of personal inspec.
ton which impressed me with the
great importance Of the Boulder.
Canyon project. 4
Need Of. Control =
mo one can visit Imperial Valley
and the lower Colorado River region
without being deeply impressed with
the necessity for flood control. The
danger to both life and property IL
apparent.
This project Is dissimilar to, flood
control plans in other parts Of the
country in that, through connection
with production Of hydro-electric
power, flood control can be made
nations taxpayers anything.
Market for that power exists in
adjacent localities, and the electric
-,lz
rally in the development Of mining
and industrial interests in that part
Of the country. 1t.
Reclamation Of arid lands under
the project will be at least seven
years in the future, and 1t will be
II years before those lands could
possibly produce any food supplies.
That production when It comes will
be Of vegetables and fruits, and,
therefore. will not compete with the
present surplus production of major
farm commodities.
Principal Crops
"In my travels through Imperial
Valley, classified the crops ami
found that principal production was
OF lettuce, tomatoes, cantaloupes, q
limited amount of alfalfa and not
sufficient dairy products to satisfy
the needs of, the valley itself. The
increase In population In this vast
territory in the Southwest that viii
result from the expansion under this
project will create a new market
that will help absorb our SURPRISES
Of major food products.
There can be no possibility of
this area growing even food prod
uct value that would any way near
equal its food value consumption.
''They will grow the winter vege-
tables, and If more production will
give US their head lettuce during
winter months at Is cents head in.
stead Of 20, that will interest US.
1.-THE all-American canal is an
important feature Of the bill. The
fact that there is always uncer
tainty in dealing with another coun
try over such things as water rights
| forces the conclusion that the canal
must be provided for as a part Of
this major improvement, which IL
the most forward looking step in the
development Of the Southwest ever
proposed"

1.-THE billion dollars in credits which
Wall Street granted to European
