This one was being planted right across the street. Before the trees even arrived, the big grower – no one from around here seems to know his name – turned on the pump to test his new deep well, and it was at that precise moment, Annie says, when the water in his plowed field gushed like flood time, that the Coopers’ house went dry.”1 Introduction Many suppose that Annie Cooper’s story is emblematic of California’s water problem. Often the culprit is named – almonds, pistachios, walnuts – each of which is very profitable to farm in California and is water hungry. It is true that California Almond growers supply 80% of the worldwide supply despite severe drought conditions in recent years. In 2015 a story in the Sacramento Bee reported that “the amount of California farmland devoted to almonds has nearly doubled over the past 20 years, to more than 900,000 acres.” Similar increases have been experienced by other nut crops (pistachios, walnuts, etc). There is no question therefore that there has been an immense change Central Valley agriculture.

Perry, 2005 Usage: Unless otherwise stated by NSL staff, these records are open for research without restrictions. Biographical Note William Haggin Perry (1910-1993) was a prominent owner and breeder of Thoroughbred racehorses. He was the son of Henry Pierrepont Perry, a Wall Street Stockbroker, and Edith Lounsbery, the daughter of Richard P. Lounsbery and Edith Hunter Haggin who in turn was the daughter of one of America's most prominent horsemen, James Ben Ali Haggin. Perry and his wife Nicole made their home at Waterford Farm, a 144-acre equestrian estate near Middleburg, Virginia. The Chronicle of the Horse publication called Waterford Farm "one of the ten most important thoroughbred facilities in the United States during the late 1970s and early 80s." Perry raced many top runners including 1979 Belmont Stakes winner Coastal. His early success in racing came with the filly Alanesian who in turn produced Boldnesian and Princessnesian. Perry's first Champion was Lamb Chop in 1963, followed by U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Gamely in 1967, and Revidere in 1976. Perry died at Waterford Farm at age eighty-five in 1993. He was inducted posthumously in the Virginia Thoroughbred Association Hall of Fame in 1994. Collection Description The William Haggin Perry Archive is comprised of an extensive series of photographs and a series of poster boards and scrapbook materials detailing the Thoroughbreds bred and raced by Perry throughout his life.

The Trial of the Century: "Lux v. Haggin" and the Conflict Over Water Rights in Late Nineteenth-Century California Abstract the late 1870s a titanic legal struggle developed in the southernmost region of California's agricultural heartland, the San Joaquin Valley. Two mutually exclusive doctrines of water law, one allowing for irrigation, appropriationism, and the other denying this right, riparianism, clashed in the courtrooms, the legislatures, and the farmlands of California. Most Cal- ifornians at the time believed that the court case that pitted these two doc- trines against each other, Lux v. Haggin, would decide the fate of California's future economic development.
