Talk Irrigation Project Shaped by State Water Engineer
State water resources engineer George S. Knapp told 250 north-central Kansas farmers and business people that proper use of Republican River resources via irrigation could be worth 1,000,000 dollars annually. He discussed an irrigation plan tied to a proposed Harlan County Nebraska dam and warned neglect would cost hard-won farm population. He said dam irrigation would preserve river flow with surplus water for farming. Also noted is a conference date change for the Big Six indoor track meet in Kansas City from March 7 to February 28 to accommodate officials.
