Excerpt from First Report of the Secretary of Agriculture, 1889
The development of agriculture in the Rocky Mountain districts has been very rapid of late, and is full of promise for the immediate future. Millions of acres are already under irrigation, with results more certain and satisfactory than in States solely dependent on cur rent rain-fall. New enterprises are in progress, and Government sur veys for highland reservoirs have been initiated. Already the value of the products of agriculture on the Pacific coast, if not in Colorado, in the heart of the mountain system, is greater than that of the products of mining. The Division of Statistics, under my direction, is investigating these resources and measuring their development, with all the facilities at its command. The results will surprise the Eastern States with new views of the wealth and progress of the Great American Desert of the recent past.
