Discusses Possibilities of Irri- gation in Missouri Val- ley Tuesday A review of the recent excursion to the Yellowstone irrigation project near Sidney, Mont., was given before the Bismarck Kiwanis club Tuesday noon by H. O. Putnam, Burleigh county agricultural agent, who also pointed to some of the irrigation problems confronting Missouri valley farmers. Putnam paid high tribute to the citizens of Sidney and Fairview for the manner in which they took care of the 275 North Dakotans who made the trip last week. The trip had value, as a goodwill builder as well as an informative project, the agent said. Putnam expressed the belief that if and when Missouri valley farmers in this area have 50,000 acres under ir- rigation, a sugar plant will be erected here. He also pointed to the possi- bility of canneries being established at Bismarck. One possibliity which Putnam sees * is the use of a floating barge for pumping activities. Putnam. read a letter from Bernice Bliss of McKenzie, who was sent to the national encampment of 4-H boys and girls at Washington by the local Kiwanis and Rotary clubs. She thanked the two clubs for paying her expenses, Putnam was introduced by J. D. Byrne, program chairman.
