It wil! take money. It. will take hard work. It will take yea: But it can be done.” J. M. Thompson, Burleigh county pioneer and a former member of the State legislature, déclared “Young farmers should be intérested in irriga- tion. It is the hope of the future. It is a young man’s work. If what adapt- able land we have can be placed under water, North Dakota need never want for hay, no home need ever want for vegetables. Whether we make any monéy or not on what we raise we will Still be sure of having food to eat.” John N. Hagen, commissioner of agriculture and labor, said “The lower Yellowstone valley is practical dem- onstration of what North Dakota can do, especially along the Missouri river.

But let’s not kid our- selves, it's no spot for a lazy man.” L. L. Rudrud, deputy state game and fish commissioner: “Until western North Dakotans change their methods ot farming or ranching as the ot the Yellowstone have done, country will continue to be a hazard- cus place to live in, a land where there will be little opportunity for the youth cf today.” ‘ i Ben F. Lawyer, cashier of thé First, National bank of Bismarck: “From én economic standpoint, I am convinced that irrigation can solvé for Bismarck |’ nd the surrounding territory many of the troubles with which we are now confronted. The Yellowstone project +s an inspiration for the people of the Missouri Slope to utilize all the water resources at Our command.” John Gray, state treasurer: “That fume old man who so many years preached the gospel of intelligent farming in North Dakéta—Dr. John H. Worst—proved what he preached by practice. That his reasoning was sound has been borne out by what he and his son have done in the Yellow- stone. Intelligent usé of the land com- bined with intelligent use of the water is still the crying need of our state.” Youth Should See Milton EK. Higgins, assistant attor- ney general: “The Yellowstone project is a marvelous opportunity for North Dakotans to see what irrigation can do for the northwest. I am sorry there were not more young: people present. to receive inspiration.” J. C. Thysell, associate agronomist of the U. 5. Great Plains Field station, Mandan: “The splendid crops in the Lower Yellowstone valley demonstrate the stabilizing influence of small, well ‘)irrigated areas in regions of limited rainfall.” Mayor Obert A. Olson of Bismarck: “There is no reason why thé Missouri Slope can’t outshine the Yellowstone valley. We have a better valley, better Soil, and better water supplies. Bis- marck’s population will double if irri- gation is placed on a profitable basis.” George F. Shafer, former governor and president of the Bismarck Asso- cation of Commerce: “Our inspection trip was a genuine success from every viewpoint. We saw, first hand, a beautiful valley made highly produc- tive through the efficient application cf irrigation principles under condi- tions very similar to those existing in the Missouri valley in North Dakota. on the Missouri slope.” Real Social Security commissioner: “Let no one get the buflt overnight.
