Irrigating the Arid Kansas Region and Population Decline
The article notes 39 Kansas counties in a near rainless zone with a 1888 census population of about 200,000. Droughts in 1888 and 1890 forced 40,000 people to abandon farms, and by spring 1893 the population waned to 143,000. It cites Wood Davis on irrigation limits and water availability for about 5 percent of the area. A humorous street dialogue on socialism closes the excerpt.
