To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The arid region thus de- fined would include, in the United States, most of the country lying west of a line drawn through North Dakota and Texas, extending northwest into Canada and southward into Mexico; while in South Africa it would be found in the Kalahari Desert and in some portions of the Transvaal. The different sections of the United States comprise an Arid re- gion,^ with a rainfall of from zero to 20 inches ; a Semi-arid region from 20 to 30 inches ; and a Humid region of 30 inches a...nd upward. About two fifths of the United States is more or less arid and must be irrigated or cultivated by dry- farm methods. But as Professor Elwood Mead remarks : "If every drop of water ^ The driest and warmest State is Arizona.
91 ■ DRY-FARMING which falls on the mountain summits could be utilized, it is not likely that more than 10 per cent, of the total area of the arid West could be irrigated, and it is certain that, because of physical ob- stacles, it will never be possible to get water to even this small percentage." This statement clearly shows what a vast tract of territory in America still re- mains to be reclaimed by dry-farming.
