SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
Hence, the law OF supply and demand
tends TO make n small farm unit In the
arid region. This law, incxorable es II
is, would be far less Immediately ef-
feotiye unless supplemented by other
natural laws which operate In the aane
direction.
To bring water upon land by arti-
fetal means Is costly. The cost varies
widely according to conditions, but
even under the most favorable circum-
stances irrigation involves an initial
expense and n burden OF maintenace
which becomes an unavoidable charge
uron agriculture--a charge which Is
wholly absent where moisture Is obtain

Now, the thing that cost3 money can

costs the more II win be divided end

rather a necessity OF existence. So far
this reason also the tendency TO make

Is absolutely independent OF rainfall
IL equivalent TO four acres which de-
pend upon the caprice OF the clouds.
SO Il happens that a little irrigated
farm satisfies the same demand that
n much larger piece Of land would be
required to satisfy under different con-
ditlons.
But this, IN turn, has it's economic In
fuence. A large product on each acre

find an inevitable tendency mt work
to compel small farm areas in the arid
region.
TOO LITTLE FARM,
Very likely the reader will say, but
can people make a living on these lit
tie farms?' Yes, generous living,

An the laws OF the universe are

region OF the west the highest triumph
Of agriculture that is. tho little farm
owned and titled by the proprietor and
his family and rewarding their indus

laws which Congress- has made are
sadly out OF time with the laws OF the
