CATTLE AND GRAIN cENTERs.
Malad valley Is especially adapted for
the raising Of cattle and grain The
climate Is what might be called semi
arid. though the wonderful transforma
ton wrought by that marvel Of the
age, irrigation, must be taken into ac-
count III speaking of present conditions.
The normal annual rainfall of the val
ley is about i1.62 inches, and the rela-
tive humidity is rather low During
the summer. from June to October, the
precipitation of the region is about 5
inches; but there is an abundance of
sunshine, especially during the summer
which, Of course. encourages all att
tenlpts at irrigation.
The normal annual temperature Is
about 81 degrees, the highest monthly
normal being 50 deg. in July and the
lowest "a deg. in January. The sum
mer days in Malad are often quite
warm, but owing 10 the low humidity

valley, the spring and fall frosts,

LEADING PRODUCTS.

are wheat, barley. alfalfa, potatoes,
