More than 1,000 delegates from over half the states attended the fourteenth annual national irrigation congress in Boise Idaho. Vice President Fairbanks led the talks praising irrigation as a practical business endeavor and cited government plans to irrigate 6,300,000 acres at a cost around 200 million dollars with 41 million set for the initial unit.
