The arid region of the United States
covers an area of / $50 miles In its widest
part, from east to west, and 1000 miles
from north to south. 1t embraces the
area between the 1O0th meridian and the
Coast Range, and from the British pos
sessions on the north to Mexico on the
south. This space contains over mill
ion of square niles-one-third of the area
of the United States, excluding Alaska
equal to more than 600,000,0 900 acres.
All of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah,
Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado, and por-
tlons OF California, Oregon, Washington,
Texas, Kansas, Nevada, North and South
Dakota and Montana lie within this
belt 1t is estimated in the report for the
year ending June 80, 1891, of the Hon.
John Noble, Secretary of the Interior,
that $40, ,000, 900 acres that are now desert
may be redeemed by irrigation so as to
produce the cereals. fruits and garden
products possible in the climate where
the lands are located"
When it is remembered that 120, ,O0O. 900
acres about equal in area the States of
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois combined, the
gigantic possibilities and future OF so
great an extent of fertile and productive
land now lying fallow. may be imagined
when it is made to laugh with a har-
vest" The four States above named
now have population of about u, 200, 900,
and could easily support thrice that num-
ber; so that estimating the cultivatable
area OF the arid region at 10000, 900 acres,
and doubtless it greatly exceeds that
amount, the United States has in that
desert land an empire awaiting develop
ment, capable of supporting population
in comfort, almost equal to the now ex-
listing population OF The entire republic
Forum.
