The Government, nevertheless, is
willing to bear the jor share of the
staggering cost involved, President
Coolidge informed Congress. His mes

this protection from floods without
being taxed at least to the extent of
lands benefited by Government irri-

Those who have visited the food

that sand renders cotton land use
