Fifty Million Not

1t would certainly be the course
of wisdom for this country to prac-
tically annex by irrigation the vast
territory of the arid region, with
its possibilities for supporting a
population which could add so
much to the wealth and resources
of the country. The Secretary of
the Interior, in his last report, es-
Inmates that the arid region, under
a comprehensive system Of irriga-
ton and conservation of floods,
would support a population of So
100000. This seems almost incred-
ible, even with the example of our
most densely populated section Of
the country. But it is explained by
the fact that owing to its great
productiveness, small areas of irri-
gated lands suffice for the needs of
the individual farmer, and dense
farming population naturally at
tracts a large urban population en-
gagged in manufacturing and trade
