stated that the settlement of the Mississ

was worth more to the manufacturers of

the rest of the world. It was their own
market and they did not have to compete
for its trade with other manufacturing
nations. If the Mississippi Valley with its
thirty or forty million of inhabitants large

acres affords the best market in the world
000 acres and it is sign;ficant that long
before the water from the big government
ditch was turned upon the land, every
acre under it had been eagerly taken up
by settlers, in 80-acre tracts, under
agreements to repay the government
every dollar expended in the work.

from ten thousand million dollars, a val

back to the government. The first com

farmers and prospective settlers are will-
