<br />~ <br /> <br />,I <br /> <br />The investment is permanently productive-- <br /> <br /> <br />To date the project farms have produced crops worth <br /> <br /> <br />20 times the original project cost. The ability of the <br /> <br /> <br />project farms to produce wealth in the future as they have <br /> <br /> <br />for over 50 years is unquestioned. Progress in the science <br /> <br /> <br />of farming, together with the pride of superior accomplish- <br /> <br /> <br />ment these farmers possess, will set new records of production <br /> <br /> <br />as the next half-century unfolds. In contrast to extractive <br /> <br /> <br />industries, the liyes of which grow progressively shorter <br /> <br /> <br />as each productive day passes, water conservation projects <br /> <br /> <br />such as these can be credited with the conversion of other- <br /> <br /> <br />wise wasted resources into new wealth and opportunity. <br /> <br /> <br />Society places a high psychological value on an <br /> <br /> <br />expanding economy and the development of a region. Throughout <br /> <br /> <br />American history, the opening of new lands to settlement, the <br /> <br /> <br />building of railroads, and the developing of greater markets <br /> <br /> <br />can best be described as "progress". <br /> <br /> <br />This great project, lasting and self-sustaining, <br /> <br /> <br />will continue to play its part in meeting the needs of the <br /> <br /> <br />Nation by providing jobs, adequate living standards and <br /> <br /> <br />economic opportunities. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />1\ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />30 <br />
