The group discussed conservative measures on several of their canals, and plan to work with the soil conservation service to see that the water is used to its maximum potential. This group also is on record as 100 behind the Joes Valley proin ject, and they have been active seeing that the work moves along. One of the highlights of this session, in our opinion, was the honoring of Ole Sitterud for his many years of service as secretary of this organization. As was pointed out there, he probably knows more about the business of the association, the canals, and the waterways, than any one man. We would like to add our. congratulations for a job well done.
