years.
Says Project 10 Sound
I have examined the project from
an engineering, economic, agriculture
al, water conservation and social lie
standpoint and know Of no single
project, either In this state or In any
other state In the union, that means
50 much, not only to the state Of
North Dakota, but also the states OF
South Dakota and Minnesota. This
project Is entirely feasible from every
standpoint from which It may be
viewed and any further delay In be-
ginning this work should not be toler-
ated by our people.
Second, as full cooperation Is the
Key to success, my object would be to
cooperate to the fullest extent with
the national administration In the So
luton Of agricultural problems. with
special emphasis on the problems Of
the people In our own state OF North

Third, we have . great natural re-
source and that Is the abundant sup
ply OF Ignite coal. Having operated q
large Ignite coal mine In the state for
Q period OF 10 years. am fully aware
