S12 THE FUTURE OF ARID LANDS 
curiosity, and imagination of a few good research scientists, aided 
by the cooperation and good will of a much larger segment of inter- 
ested people. Groups such as those comprising the Arid Lands 
Conference are in a vital position to be of much help in this regard.
