The vacant public lands are for the most part desert-like, and their utilization can come about only through irrigation. This land can be made to produce the finest crops in the world; and the tremendous volumes of water that flow from the mountains to the sea, once harnessed and piped or ditched to this land, will transform it into beautiful gardens and farms.
