Excerpt from The Irrigation Age, Vol. 1 SO far as past time is concerned, the resolution does not cover the facts, unless in a technical sense. The Officers Of the National Irrigation Association were for several years in practical control of the National Irriga tion Congress, and the connection was one of substance if not of form. The connection proved anything but fortunate for the Irrigation Congress. The National Irrigation Association has been made up of men who had personal rather than public interests to serve. It was developed during Congressional hearings that this association was receiving a subsidy of a year from certain corporations, and it was plain that the usefulness of the National Irrigation Congress must come to an end if such influences were allowed to con trol it. They are not now in control, and we trust that they never will be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
