Soils once depleted by systems of farming which were the results of ignorance now respond to intelligent care by yielding bountiful crops; desert lands upon which grew scattering cacti and sage brush now produce under irrigation marvelous yields of fruit, vegetables, and other products; swamp lands, once thought worthless, are being drained and furnish homes for thousands of people; even soils that contained such large amounts of harmful salts as to make the growth of common plants impossible are being acted Upon by irrigation and drainage until the salts are reduced to such an extent that farming is practicable.
