apples raised on these elevated lands
are superior in size, appearance and
flavor, bringing the highest prices of
any put in the coast markets. In the
mountains are found many wild fruits
and nuts-grapes, cherries, raspberries
and black walnuts, and there is no
reason to believe but that they could
also be grown under cultivation. The
water fall on these mountains is many
times greater than that which falls in
the valley. No records are kept, ex-
cept here at Kingman, and for the last
four years the precipitation has been
n, fOllous.
Mohave County miner., 1909-03-27

This shows an average of about 10
inches of precipitation annually for
the four years at Kingman. On the
mountains, ten miles distant, this
could be multiplied by four, or per-
haps more.
Before leaving the subject we wish
to touch on the question, dry farming.
An abortive attempt was made in the
valley a couple of years ago, but was
abandoned as unsuccessful. The trial
was made by parties without previous
experience and upon, in our opinion,
the most difficult land to tackle, under
the circumstances. The land selected
was low down in the valley where
there was less rainfall and less moist
ure than if the experiment had been
made nearer the mountains. 1t is
true that the soil was rich sandy
loan and that near the mountains it is
gravelly, but it is question if this is
not an advantage, as this land will
hold the moisture longer. As it was,
the attempt was not wholly pro-
nounced failure, and we believe that
there will be future experiments
made.

Agricultural Possibilities
of MOhaUe County
Irrigation Plans # the Government
and Other Projects.

If you have the idea that Mohaye
county is a desert country, please ex-
punge it, for there are agricultural
possibilities within its borders that
will in the future bring the county to
as much notice as its mineral re-
soures have in the past. A few years
ago such a statement would have been
received with a smile of incredulity,
but in the face of agricultural develop
ments in other western states. to the
thinking, reasoning man the assertion
is not only plausible, but there is an
assurance that many of the projects
suggested at this time will be carried
out within the next decade.
First in Importance is the great gov
ernment project at Bulls Head. This
is a site selected for dam on the Col
orado river. nearly due west of King
man, where nature has provided an
ideal place for converging the waters
of the great river onto a magnificent
body of irrigable land, which lies on
the Arizona side of the river. A few
years ago, before the work had COM
menced on the Roosevelt or Laguna
dams, a government corps of engineers
thoroughly exploited this project,
gathering all the data, making nee
essary soundings, surveys and plats,
and it was found TO be one of most
feasible of the governments irrigation
schemes. But Arizona's allotment
from the Congressional appropriation
of y, ,O00,00 made for irrigation pro-
jects in the western states, was already
covered by the other two great enter
prises, so this was set aside, with the
understanding that it would receive
consideration when future appropria-
tions supplied the necessary funds.
By this plan an immense tract of
fertile land, containing 250,OOO acres,
will be brought under cultivation, act
ually more land than is available for
farming purposes in some of the small
er states. A good part of this land,
resem bling the river Nile, is subject
to over-fow and thereby each year is
fertilized by the red waters of the Col
orado. Farming in the valley of the
Colorado is no experiment, for in a
small way crops are grown along its
banks throughout the county, and
these crops afford all the evidence nee.
essary as to the lands fertility.
Next on the list comes the Sandy
scheme. No move has ever been made
to bring this to the attention of the
government, but as it has announced
its intention to make a reservation anC
settle thereon the tribe of Wallapa
Indians who have resided in the vale,
for many generations, il will be absol
utely necessary to subserve the water
for irrigation purposes. Feeding int
the main stream are a number U
branches which come out of the noun
tain regions, and these afford excel
ent sites for reservoirs which are fec
by running streams. Prominen

Mounds by the whirlwind's breath uptown
Barren save for the cactus lone

Ger jagged peaks and canons grim,
The coyotes chant thy weird night-hymn-

Yet lilies wave on a golden dune.
And night is day meath the desert NOON,
While earth and heaven seem atune-

With only the birds child-song OF mirth
