To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This land is assessed at an average valuation of $1. 50 an acre. The extension of irrigation from the Colorado River will probably render 12, 000 acres tillable. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe holdings of 8, 752 acres are not grant lands but an old Spanish-Mexican ranch which is operated as a farming enterprise. Of the 359, 797 acres in the 28 holdings apart from the Southern Pacific lands, it is probable that 20 per cent is till- able. But estimates are here more than elsewhere unreliable b...y reason of the conflict of opinion regarding the potential water supply. There is good rainfall in the mountains, but the soil drinks up much of it, and the run-off is comparatively light. Even this run-oft' has not been properly conserved, and the county is far behind other counties in the development of its water resources. Estimates of the amount of tillable land therefore differ not only by reason of the variance of opinion regarding soils but by reason also of the variance of opinion regarding the potential supply of water.
