Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Report on the Climatic and Agricultural Features and the Agricultural Practice and Needs of the Arid Regions of the Pacific Slope, With Notes on Arizona and New Mexico, 1882: Made Under the Direction of the Commissioner of Agriculture
In the winter of 1869 J. T. Stratton planted 43 acres of E. Globulus or blue gum, and two of E. Viminalis or red gum; seedlings of same season, 8 by 8, or to the acre. Cultivation given at first, but no irrigation. The trees are now from 80 to 100 feet high, the tallest 100 feet, and 2 feet in diameter 3 feet above the ground; some larger have been cut down. No damage has ever been done by frosts or northers. The past season 20 acres have been cleared; their yield was 600 cords of cord-wood, 130 of butts and roots. In 1876, the Central Pacific Railroad Company got 40 ties for trial, and the telegraph company bought 800 poles for trial. The wood has not proved durable for these uses.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive report of a US commission instructed by Congress to investigate the agricultural prospects of the western United States and particularly the arid lands west of the Rocky Mountains. The report provides a detailed look at the climate and agricultural practices in California, situating them within the broader context of the challenges and opportunities of arid agriculture. The author analyzes the unique climates of California's regions, discussing how distinct factors like rainfall, wind, and temperature affect the growing seasons and types of crops that thrive there. Through observation and interviews, the author delves into the techniques employed by farmers to cultivate crops in the face of limited rainfall, and explores the use of hardy, drought-resistant plants, as well as irrigation methods. The report emphasizes the potential for cultivating certain plants adapted to arid climates, such as eucalyptus and other trees, for both timber and environmental benefits. By examining the successes and challenges of agriculture in California, this book offers insights into the possibilities and limitations of farming in arid regions worldwide.
