An article captioned, 1.-THE Epoch

concludes with the following para
graph; ut is safe to say that, so far
as America is concerned, within the
next thirty years the United States gov
eminent will have reclaimed at least
ten millions Of acres of its arid lands.
This means more than $4,000 new

the stimulating of the agricultural in

before known, and the dawning of a
greater prosperity for America than
any other nation on earth.n
