Wilson, director, fice of Defense Mobilization, had informed him by letter that should we need to stimulate domestic production of natural or synthetic fibers, in order to protect our fiber position, we will do so. Mobilizer Wilsons statement was the result of a letter he re- ceived from Senator Watkins. The Senator asked for an authorative and straight-for- ward statement setting forth the nature and extent of the tax amortizations granted during the fiscal year 1952, to assist com- panies in the building of facilities for the manufacture of synthetic wopl."

How much is irrigation water worth? In all probability, your guess would be much too low. The extent to which water users will go in guarding their irrigation water against convey- ance losses, was startlingly illustrated recently in Arizona, The Phelps Dodge Corpor- ftion, requiring more water for is operations at Morenci, pro- posed that it would be willing to Py for thethelining ofsome of the Tcanal?

It is estimated that this amount of lining would save 10,000 acre-feof water each year. The Association operates a series of storage reservoirs and a system of canals, all for the purpose of Providing irrigation water for the project lands. Many of these canals have been lined with concrete to illiminate seepage, and to improve the economy and efficiency of the operations. But many additional miles of canal still are unlined. Half of the water saved would accrue to the Water Users Association entirely free of cost, while the other half would be used by the orporatiud' Furthermore, e salvaged water f.. dV1f,on Pd et T'Trf ,12 or for about 15 years, gf plant and the After that, ment ; iper cent in five years wouW acrJe to the Association5 favored companies are It is apparent that this water ablfi tQ pscape a large part 0j .g w acre their normal corporate tax lod. foot to the Phelns Dodsre Cor- y poration, That does not Indicate its worth as irrigation water, but to have anyone put such a high value on water, which we often are guilty of wasting, certainly gives us something to think about Apparently it made the water users stop a.nd think, for when the proposal was voted on at a recent election, it failed to carry by the necessary 34 majority. This is a reflection oL the water users desirg to continue their lor established program of lining portions of their canal system each year, and using all the water saved QO their own lands, This illustration of the value of water in some parts of the country, should be a warning to everyone who is affected by irrigation. Properly designed and constructed underground pipelines, lined canals, and liberally seasoned with sensible irrigating practices, will help to save that water. It is fortunate that the water situation in Utah is not nearly as acute at this time as it is in other sections of the country. However, there is little question but what Utah farmers, through their own initiative, could improve their water resources, and at the same time build a bulwark of safety to protect the productive capacity of their farms against a possible era of drouth. aCre-fee- t, equip- - m neces-laril- all 7' t. do-ch- your cash into Senator Arthur V.
