before the conference of governors of
the northwest states being held here
in the interest of joint development

reclamation service. He told those
present that the increasing demand for
greater food production throughout
the world, caused as a result of the
late war, coupled with the practical
exhaustion of the available reserve
land of America, made it imperative
to take immediate steps by appropri
ate legislation to reclaim the large
areas of waste land in the western
states.

addressed by Frank H. Jeffrey, rep
resenting Franklin D’Olfer, head of the
American Legion, who, speaking on

pledged the legion as being behind the
reclamation work. He stated that it
was a conservative estimate to say
that one-fifth of the former soldiers in
