Every man who has property or is interested in property here and desires to see it increase in value should take an active interest in the subject of irrigation. We need to have more ditches and the water must be taken from the larger streams, as in case of a very dry season the smaller streams are very liable to fail. We have enough land here, which if properly irrigated and cultivated would produce all that is needed for home consumption and much for shipment and would prevent all fears of shortage. With plenty of water we can produce an abundance of good and cheap food instead of having to depend upon others at a distance to produce it for us."NO KNOWN COPYRIGHT The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
