Since this is something brand new, we're go ing to have to move slowly at first. "In the past, these corpora tions have appeared before dif ferent subcommittees mainly to justify their administrative ex penses. Now they're going to have to come before a single sub committee each year, not only to justify their administrative ex penses but all of their other op erations. "After all, they are handling biliions of dollars of public funds and we, who control their purse strings, should keep an eagle- eye on their operations."

Among them were weed con trol, water supply and. range. All necessary factors to settler, farmer and cattle men alike. Weed control and water sup ply depend solely on condition of range. If there is a good grass coverage it automatically prevents reseeding of weeds and will in time kill out the weeds due to the grass roots being the sturdier. This is also true in preventing brush from reseed ing, as the grass prevents the seed from germination by hold ing the seed off of the ground thereby causing it to rot instead of taking root. As to water supply, grasses are a great factor in' aiding water to seep into the ground as it rains or snows thereby gradu ally feeding the irrigation sup ply over a longer period of time. Where weeds have control of the range It is only natural that the rush of water that has no way of holding back will bring with it weed seeds that eventu ally are washed into irrigation channels thereby causing a much heavier weed growth in fields. In the reading of Mr. Bohn ert's committee report at this meeting, I got the impression that they seem to think that their weed seed trouble was coming from their neighbor's neglect. I feel that if this snme committee 'had Inspected the watersheds which furnish their irrigation supply they would find it is furnishing their neigh bor as well as themselves with the weed seed that is washed irom inese sheds due to their much over-grazed condition. i Deneve that they will be more successful in eliminating this weed menace by allowing the grasses on these watersheds to rcseed in sufficient amounts io re-esiaDllsn the grass coverage.
