Can Irrigation Farmers Teach the East

Can Irrigation Farmers Teach the East
What are the lessons of irrigation
farming to the East 1t is eleven
years since / left the West to reside
permanently in the East; and in those
eleven years there have been at least
four years when drought seriously af-
fected farm values in the East. Yet
the East has never thought of irriga-
ton except for truck-gardens and green
houses. The East has plowed along in
the same old furow it was blowing in
100. To construct water reservoirs
for the East would be a joke compared
to what is being done in the West; for
water is always plentiful at some time
of the year in the East; and the contour
of hills lends TO natural reservoirs.
Even without irrigation storage one is
constrained to ask, what would be the
result if the East, right at the door of
it's markets, adopted the irrigation
farmers methods? Long ago the East
gave Of it's manhood and its means for
the winning Of the West. The day may
be at hand when the West, youthful
and buoyant and perhaps even bump
tious, will bring back some return for
that old obligation to the East. The
west has been reclaimed. Isn't it time
for somebody TO launch the eyangel of
retaining the East From Lessons
