Présentation de l'éditeur

To this must be added 1,552 farms, containing 66,965 acres irrigated, in the western parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas, designated, for convenience, the subhumid region, where irrigation is slowly making its way, as a method of agriculture always advantageous but not always absolutely necessary. The average value of the land irrigated in 1889, with the improvements thereon, is found to be $83.28 per acre, and the average value of products for the year stated $14.89 per acre.
