The Redemption of the Great Valley of California
The Great Valley of California, as Nature built it, by filling an inland sea with debris from the hills, seemed capable of feeding the world with wheat fifty years ago, when men were reaping from its surface the cargoes for those “swift shuttles of an Empire's loom,” the “Gypsies of the Horn.” Fifty years of mishandling natural riches and spurning natural laws have so far injured it that now it may be said, in an economical or engineering sense, the Great Valley is lost to the world. The historic wheat fields have deteriorated until they are no longer of appreciable value to the State.
