Irrigation Is Independence 



In working unirrigated land, the farmer is dependent for success on moisture and 

 sunshine. Irrigation makes him independent of rain, but he needs light and heat. In the 

 Yellowstone Valley the sun shines 300 days out of the 365. See the point? The land is rich, 

 markets and transportation facilities of the best. 



" The Yellowstone Valley is noted for its large strawberries, luscious raspberries, and 

 richly flavored blackberries. Apples of the finest quality are grown. Pears, grapes, plums 

 and cherries are harvested in great prolusion. The people make big displays of tomatoes, 

 weet potatoes, hops and flowers at the annual county fairs."
