i', • P age 4 <br />2. The Agricultural Conservation people and the Soil <br />onservation people have had programs for years to help <br />people develop and tAus provide better water for their <br />pastures. Several of our bigger ranches put in their own <br />extensive pipelines. Many others have ,out in systems with <br />the help of the Government programs. I had about 4 mi~.es <br />of pipeline on my ranch in addition in addition to two deep <br />pits designed to catch runoff of heavy rains. When full <br />these pits would hold water for two to four years. Any <br />livestock man in this area will do all he czn do to utilize <br />and develop as widespread a system of watering as he can <br />because it provides a much more efficient use of pasture. <br />So if a rancher requeats that we leave a water hole we will <br />try to do it even though the pit water holes are usually <br />shallow and dry up in dry years. <br />Very truly yours, <br />"1 , <br />i ~' ~ _, <br />~,= <br />J .
