Show WARREN R. DECK years and you wonder why people sat all these years with that sort of thing. You go back, oh I guess, it's three or four years ago and ---?---. Down at Round Rock, Arizona, they anticipated irrigating some of that land to grow wheat. That's the last place in the world that you would want to grow wheat, down around Round Rock, Arizona. You'd want to grow squash and watermelon and stuff like that. Anticipating that they were going to irrigate and that they were going to grow wheat, they built a flour mill. Now the remains of that flour mill are still down there and I'll take you down and show you. You see what encouragement did the Navajo have in this area? They're doing a little better with the BLO, the Bureau of Land Operations, part of the BIA, and of course their struggles down there now are to get good horse-driven work with their sheep and their cattle. They had a lot of problems there. The way I see it, this thing is going to hit all at once, that whole tribe is going to go all-out, what they've got. THey 've got because they--here' s an agriculture there that is about 60% at least of all the people on the reservation and that's all the people that would work because, that's interesting, the rest of them would have to work to serve the 60% in other services.
