For $50 miles from Omaha the soil has been
fertile, but We now enter upon the &" G reat
American Desert" The title, however, seems
to be a misnomer, for the plain is everywhere
covered with grass, which. where the soil is
poorest, is said 10 be sufficient for the support
Of cattle. This year, in consequences OF nm
usual rains, the vegetation is probably more
ample than ordinary, but we can sss no reason
why The name desert should be applied TO the
country. The people here, by the way, have
a theory that railroad tracks and telegraph
wires draw RAIN" They account for the
unusual rain fall OF this year on this ground.
and are sanguine that the arid character OF the
country VIII be changed through the CON.
