Throughout the county there are about
twenty large di,che., nearly all of which are
already completed. These bitches will COW
er from FIVE ranches upwards, the Cushman
ditch being the largest, bu, not vet somple,-
ed, and it is estimated that ii will cover about
1000 acres OF land. 1t i. generally conced-
ed that there are now about 10000 acres of
land cleared and under cultivation in the
county, greater portion oft being sown in
wheat pats and potatoes. From agents who
are now canvassing the county for = nursery
in Rochester, y. Y, We learn that 10000
fruit trees have already been planted, and
as s, 900 more Small fruits are also e1ten-
sivcly being set out As ripe strawberries
are already being shown around, which
were raised in the gardens around Delta, ii
speaks we'll for our climate "A. a fruit producer
/, Isl very general and noticeable feature
that upon the advent of civilization and the
Improvements attendant thereto, that from
the dry, barren and desolate Saate in 1881,
the reservation has sprung up to be a veri-
table flower garden, and luIuriant grasses
wave throughout the valleys, and even on the
higher mcsas remote from irrigating bitches
this is the case. Heavy rains are becoming
Of more frequent occurrence, and the reser-
walton is fast becoming one vast field Of
veriurc, enhanced to great beauty by beds of
many .colored flowers. 1t is the general
theme among our farmers, Judging from the
yearly increase of rainfall, and as vegetation
is becoming more abundant, that very little
irngating will have to be done in the yean
to follow.
