Also what crops he has been accustomed to raise and the kind of farming he prefers. The Com- mission will advise him to the best of its ability as to the locality or localities in the State he had best visit and will put him in touch with those from whom he can secure land, the price of the land, the terms of payment, and the character of the soil. If he writes asking if he may not take up land in the State under the Homestead or Desert Land acts, he will be told that if he has not previously exercised such right he can do so in Nevada, since the unappropriated public domain covers millions of acres. But that he can do nothing with any land he can homestead or acquire under the Desert Land Act, however naturally arable, without there is water obtainable for its irrigation. That while dry-farming may succeed in certain places in the State, the successes so far have been usually where there is a natural subsurface water-table close enough to supply. 32 CUTTING ALFALFA ON THE WIDE.
