350 DRY-FARMING 



cient water for domestic use for one household, and 

 irrigated in addition 61 oHve trees, 2 cottonwoods, 

 8 pepper trees, 1 date palm, 19 pomegranates, 4 grape- 

 vines, 1 fig tree, 9 eucalyptus trees, 1 ash, and 13 mis- 

 cellaneous, making a total of 87 useful trees, mainly 

 fruit-bearing, and 32 vines and bushes. (See Fig. 95.) 

 If such a result can be obtained with a windmill and 

 with water ninety feet below the surface under the 

 arid c(jnditions of Arizona, there should be little diffi- 

 culty in securing sufficient water over the larger por- 

 tions of the dry-farm tei-ritory to make possible 

 beautiful homesteads. 



The dry-farmer should carcfull>' avoid the tem]5- 

 tation to decry irrigation practices. Irrigation and 

 dry-farming of necessity must go hand in hand in 

 the development of the great arid regions of the world. 

 Neither can well stand alone in the building of great 

 commonwealths on the deserts of the earth.
