Deem to be that, If the lands
wore relinquished thoy would at
once be devoted to productive
uses by private enterprise,
would become tnxublo and
would contribute their eultuble
share to the cost of local gov
uinment, He described that promise at
"distinctly vulnerable."
In tho western status, lie said,
Ihero are 104,000,000 acres on
which tho annual precipitation Is
less than 10 Inches and 080,000,
000 acres on which It is between
10 and 20 Inches.
"Tho Impructlblllty of farm
ing where the minimum precip
itation is less than 19 Inches has
been frequently and tragically
demonstrated," ho observed.
The reclamation bureau, he
.mid, estimuted thut only about
20,000,000 acres more can be
irrigated,
Furthermore, he added, "a
lot" of lund under federal owner,
chip lies in 12 western states
above 8000 or 0000 feet eleva
tion, where Its productive ca
pacity la "negligible."
