To them the suggestion of artificial
irrigation carries with it the idea OF
limited area, deficient product, barren
nees, and generally, results wholly in
adequate and Improbable in proportion
to the cost and labor incident to that
process.
Their idea of the profitable cultivation
OF the coil is, unconsciusly perhaps, but
ineeparably, connected with humid at
mosphere, frequent and copious rains.
an alienation almost daily of sunshine
and clouds, and the succession OF spring,
summer, autumn and winter.
1t may be generally known fact that
three-fourths of the inhabitants OF the
globe obtain their food supply from lands
artifcially irrigated, yet these conditions
are 30 remote to most of the people oi
the United States that the knowledge oi
of that fact fails to make an adequate
impression of the Importance OF the
subject.
Aridity of climate, high temperature,
long rainless periods and almost perpet-
ual sunshine are to them symbolic oi
the desert, of poverty of soil and physi-
cal discomfort. So prevalent is this
opinion in the United States, and &c
firmly set that it requires iteration and
reiteration to impress upon them that
for the best development of certain
products, aridity. heat and perpetual
sunshine are absolutely essential.
To take from Southern Arizona that
characteristic would blast her fondest
hopes that che will ere long supply the
United States with those products.
The fig, the olive, the pomgranate
and most particularly the vine, best
thrive under such conditions.
Pinal county has soil unsurpsss ed
for fertility and its adaptation to these
particular products.
With artificial irrigation these prod
ucts exceed in value those of any lands
in the United States. The cost Of Yatel
supply and distribution is many times
repaid by the excess of product of such
lands over that OF lands not irrigated,
The question is not one 80 much OF cost
of supply as of its reliability.
There are in the Casa Grande valley
more than a million acres of extremely
fertile land to bring them under cult.
vation water supply is necessary.
The Gila pronounced Heel.a) river il
the principal source of water supply in
the county. That river rises in New
Mexico and pursues generally western
course to its confluence with the Col.
orado river at Yuma, distance OF more
than 400 miles. It's principal tributaries
are the San Francisco, Black, San Carlos
and Salt rivera from the north, and the
San Pedro from the south.
The river, as are all rivers in the
southwest, is subject to great variations
of volume, ranging from flood to com.
psratively small flow. During the win
ter months OF December. January and
February it carries an immense volume
of water. From that time it suffers y
continuous diminution, until again il
is replenished by the rain in the noun
tains in June and July. The San Pedro
river, tributary of the Gila, traverses
the eastern portion OF the county. The
San Pedro has it's source in Sonora,

The Peculiar Conditions of the SUM-
Kisscd Land.
lFhoenix Gazette, Aug. i, 1881
The vastness of this country, within
whose confines exist conditions OF eli.
mate and soil varying from frigid to
torrid. from one extreme of aridity to
tho other of excessive humidity, from
prodigal fertility to sterile niggardliness,
is very vaguely impressed upon the
people of the United States.
Men become so accustomed to the
conditions under which they immediat-
ely live that by habit and association
they come to regard these conditions as
the only Ones adapted to human happi-
nesE, and that variation from them
must be fault to be deplored.
More than 80 per cent of the popula-
tion of the United States are so accus-
toned to the cultivation of the soil
under climatic conditions making an
artificial application of the moisture re-
quisite for the growth and maturity of
their crops unnecessary, that irrigation
is to them an unknown art.
