The arid portion of the United States is to a very great extent dependent for its development on irrigation. It must grow the bulk of its own food requirements in order to permit industries to enlarge and its resources to be developed. In the earlier years of Far Western settlement, mining was the principal industry and afforded sufficient excess profit to stand the burden of high food prices resulting from expensive transportation. With the exhaustion of exceptionally rich mining fields and the advent of other industries, growth has progressively become more dependent on local food supplies.
