t of the people in getting a full job done.

That is true in the field of forestry. Forestry has a particular role in
the Tennessee Valley. First of all, the TVA is concerned with the
effective use and control of water, not only in the river channel
itself, but on the land. Forestry, together with engineering and
agriculture, must come together, not only come together within the
administrative framework of TVA, but within the framework of what our
colleges and state departments are doing and with what the land owners
are doing in these watersheds.

Further than that, the TVA is fully aware that watershed protection
cannot be achieved except within the economy of the region. That means
that the best use of forest lands from the economic point of view, from
the productive point of view, as well as from the conservation point of
view, must be taken into account.

For these reasons the TVA is concerned not only with multiple-purpose
dams, but with multiple-purpose land use. These activities are not
conducted directly by TVA, but in cooperation with the land grant
colleges and with the appropriate state departments.

I think and I hope that as you review the several activities which are
going on in the Tennessee Valley area that you will keep these
characteristics of TVA in mind. We are very happy to have you here. I
hope that many of you will be able to extend your visit or to come back
and see us another time.

President John Davidson: I am personally very glad to have heard this
talk. I know quite a bit more about the fundamental principles of the
work underlying TVA than I did before.

Dr. MacDaniels, will you say a word on behalf of the Association?

+Response+

Dr. L. H. MacDaniels: Mr. President and members of the Northern Nut
Growers Association, I am sure that I voice the sentiment of all of the
Association to you, Mr. Gant, and all of the Tennessee Valley Authority
our very great appreciation of your allowing us to come and meet with
you and use the very fine facilities which are available here in Upper
Norris Park.

As far as I am concerned, and probably I am in the same situation as
most of you in the North; we have heard a lot about the Tennessee Valley
Authority, but mostly it is bandied around in the newspapers and usually
connected with some sort of a political argument of one kind or another.
And I think that to come here and to see the place and to liv
