CONVERTING THE DESERT

The Great Southwest is just in its
earliest infancy. Today in South
ern California, Arizona and New
Mexico 800, 900 acres of land are be-
ing brought under irrigation at
cost of $20,000,000, most of this
under the government reclamation
project. Out of this acreage will
be carved, it is estimated, 1850
farms by the government alone.
Here is elbow room, plenty of cvbic
air to fill the lungs. and an op-
portunity of gaining a living, and
even more, for 10000 persons.
This work is but in its infancy.
Reclamation Service dates back
less than a decade, namely to 1906,
and the limits of its activity are
only those of human ingenuity" "
The United States Department of
Agriculture says there are over
100000 acres of good land in
Southern California that should be
irrigated, and only three quarters of
a million are now under irrigation.
