E. Pick of the army engineer corps,

visitors at a Missouri river develop
ment conference here today that
now is the time TO develop the
Missouri river, when we are all
flood-conscious."
Colonel Pick said he had p%artici-
pated in flood control work in
Montana last February and saw
hundreds of acres of crops inun-
dated because of insufficient means
to hold back the waters.
we cannot afford to waste mil
lions of dollars worth of food-stuffs
through unnecessary flooding at a
time like this" he said.
Immediate flood control work
on the Missouri river and its trib-
utaries will solve our problem of
ruined crops"
He said first on the list of pro-
jects in Montana would be the Fort
Peck dam which could be utilized
as a major source of flood control
and expanded irrigation work.
If the Missouri river is to pro-
vide an inland waterway system,
ana IlOOU control, lJS
tributaries must first be developed
and their waters held back through
an extensive reservoir network"
Pick said.
o. S. Warden, Great Falls news
paper publisher and president of
the National Reclamation ~associa-
ton, said he was willing to enlist
under the banner of Gov. Sam G.
Ford" and would do all I can to
carry through this great task"
Il thoroughly agree with Colonel
Pick that we have let these prof.
ects go too long" he said. Mon
tana now has 100000 acres of
land under irrigation and there is
no reason why that much more can
not be irrigated"
Montana officials and citizens
alike must get behind Colonel Pick
and the army engineers to see this
project through" Warden said.
