There are many thousands of acres there that are susceptible to irrigation and the raising of crops, are there not? A I am not qualified to say. Q Well, did you not make a study of country for any such purpose? A Not for soil, no. I was studying the rocks for oil possibilities.

A I believe I made mention of such things as I knew of there. 2077 |
