Ruling on Desert Lands: Land Not Desert in Character
Land Commissioner Binger Herman adopts a new method to determine desert land status in the arid west. In Frank D. Bailey v. R. B. Campbell, the Weed Patch land near Wade was found to have produced profitable crops under natural rainfall without irrigation. Evidence showed four to six sacks of wheat per acre in nearby lands and increasing cultivation from 32 to 740 acres, proving the land is not desert in character.
