irrigation More
Importunt

Quite controversy seems to be
raging between those who would
develop some of our rivers for nav
igation and flood control and those
who would prefer to develop irriga-
ton projects as the first considera-
ton. The Missouri River is now the
center Of such a controversy.
Army engineers and communities
along the lower Missouri want to
provide 9-foot channel on the low
er reaches Of the river and build
works for flood control. Montana,
Wyoming and North Dakota are
more interested in developing ir-
rigation first. They want nothing
done that would prevent the waters
arising here from being used for
irrigation.
Aside from few of the larger
rivers, we feel that navigation is
OF relatively lesser value to the ma
ton. The area that would be served
by making the Missouri more nav
lgable is honeycombed with rail
roads and truck lines. Air lines are
also entering the transportation
field. When the heavy war burden
is ended, railroad, truck and air
lines will undoubtedly be able to
provide all the transportation ia
cllities the nation will, need.
1t has been argued that when wa
ter transportation is available, il
is much easier to hold freight rates
to a more reasonable basis. Posi-
bly, true, but isn't that the duty
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission?
There can be no objection to de-
veloping rivers for navigation
when more important interests are
not sacrificed. We believe large IT.
rigation projects in the upper Mis-
souri, River country are more i'm
portant than the small amount oil
river traffic that would be de-
veloped on the lower Missouri.

ness OF berries when you out them
up for next winters use. For whole
fruit preserves. use berries which
are just a little green. They'll hold
their shape better Then to get q
full flavor. Id the juice OF fully
rlpened berries. Color is q better
guide to maturity than size for some
varieties grow large and others
small. Berries chosen for uniformi-
