Farming in an Inferno
The Most Curious Farm in the World—Where the Temperature Reaches 160 Degrees.
PROBABLY the most curious'farm in the world is that of Furnace Creek Ranch in the heart of Death Valley, Colorado, a locality that has well earned its given name by reason of the many bitter trage dies that have marked its history. John Edwin Hogg, writing in Popular Mechanics, tells of the interesting experiment:
Death Valley—the most horrible desert on the face of the earth, source of weird mysteries and innumerable tragedies, where the temperature soars as high as 160 deg., and above whose shimmering wastes dance shifting mirages of green fields and cool streams that lead thirsttortured souls to their doom—has yielded to the hands of man to make a garden therein. This miracle—often mistaken for a mirage—has been brought about by a commercial corporation as the only possible means of securing a source of food supply convenient to its borax mines in the Funeral Mountains, 18 miles away.
