Ty-Jicil Northwest County Eoad.
THE NORTHWEST is t.lio liorae of fertile farms and healthy cattle. Pasture lands are nowhere greener.
Nowhere does the soil contain greater potentialities.
The traveler through the farm lands in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, for example,
may find prosperous farms, but the land is old. It has stood the burden of providing for generations, and un
less given the reviving influence of nitrates or various fertilizers, bears smaller crops every year. In California
irrigation is a groat problem for many of the farm lands, without which tfco dryness of the land prohibits ex
tensive cultivation.
But in the Nor! Invest the land is new and its fertility is as yet scarcely touched. Irrigation is not the
problem that it is in the South for the welcome rains of winter are plentiful and the drouths are few ami in
frequent. Why should this land not prosper?
Tim above illuslralion, taken along a typical country road in the Northwest, shows several healthy appear
ing Jersey cows off for pasture.
