By W. H. Porterfield 3 > MAridity is a blessing, and irri- jidn'a miracle,” is the epi-gram- ; matic style in which William E. ‘Smythe refers to southern Califor- - nia as it has been made at the: hands |i of those who have brought the fruc- tifying water to its soil. Southern California doubt the most, cons; of the Miracle ‘of, uous’ example rigation in Am- igate these sked an easterner the our train sped between ithe magnificent walnut goves of Or- ‘ange county. “People do not have ‘good, clothes or. drive fine automo- bi live in good homes or send their children to the best schools or is without |’ to wear =travel or do any of the other things |: a modern civilization suggests,” I‘ “replied; “but we realize; that these are desirable things to obtain if pos-|' sible. Just so it is with irrigation. We could raise hay on thaé soil without irrigation just as you. do, but|: “we chose to irrigate and raise ‘wal nuts which pay a handsome return on.$3000 to $4000 the acre.
