Dr. Withycombe, in his recent
trip through Humbolt county, Ne
vada, was greatly impressed with
the results obtained from irrigation.
The land that formerly grew only
sage brush now yields immense
crops of grain and hay and supports
a large )xpulation. One farmer in j
particular harvested 6 000 tons of
alfalfa hay in one season. This
land, which in its natural state is
unfit for human habitation, by the
simple application of water becomes'
a veritable garden spot. In a few
years iany millions of acres of
western desert land will have been
reclaimed in this way.

kind of a joke can very easily-be
construed as an interference with
an officer in the discharge' of his
duty.
