As I have watched this program develop from its inception, I
am increasingly impressed with the contribution which this
symposium makes through providing a focus for research and
development in watershed development ; . . although less
widely publicized, the efforts of your division and the
Arizona water Resources Committee have been a major factor
in coordinating and stimulating work in watershed management,
throughout the United States . . . Raymond E. Seltzer, Direc-
tor, Economic Research; Agri Research, Inc., Manhattan,Kansas.

surely no field is more basic to our situation
in Arizona than is watershed management, and
it is inspiring to realize that the new knowl-
edge which we gain here in our own state can be
extended to other arid regions, both in our own
country, and throughout the world. . . Robert
L. Nugent, Executive Vice President, University
of Arizona, Tucson.

The initiation of this project required a considerable amount
of courage as well as intelligence and hard work . . . I hope
that someone will someday write a history of this watershed
program, for the history of the Arizona watershed Program will
prove to be an important part of the history of the State of
Arizona. . . Lloyd E. Myers, Director, U. S. Water Conserva-
tion Laboratory, Tempe.

I am greatly pleased to note the progress you
are making in the development of this conserva-
tion program, which is so vital to the welfare
of our state . . . Honorable John J. Rhodes,
U. S. Congress, washington, D. C.

I look forward each year to reading the Proceedings of your
annual symposia - the articles are interesting and instructive
and I congratulate you and your associates for staging these
meetings and promoting a well worthwhile program. . . V. L.
Harper, Deputy Chief, U. S. Forest Service, washington, D. C.

It seems to be a very desirable program and is
not getting into operation any too fast when
considering the terrific influx of population
into the West and the pressure is being generated
for wild land use . . . Ralph G. LaRue, Farm
Advisor, Co-operative Extension Work in Agriculture
and Home Economics, university of California,
Los Angeles, California.

Inasmuch as I am not able to attend your symposia, it is always
gratifying to be able to keep up with the technical aspects of
your work through your excellent proceedings. . Harris R.
McDonald, Head,water Resources and Utilization section, Bureau
of Reclamation, Denver, Colorado.

I thoughtit so good that I sent my copy to our
Washington office for their information . .
