Montana Irrigation and Development Speech at Live Stock Convention
The speaker urges Montana to expand irrigation to feed growing stock and revive agriculture. He traces state growth from frontier days to a mined and farmed economy, warns that open ranges decline, and calls for federal canal projects and reservoirs to store water. He cites Chittenden’s report, urges unified political action, and highlights potential grain and cattle throughput for a robust Montana economy.
