The soil is an exceedingly fertile loan, and
is, without exception, the richest and most
productive in Southern California. Its vicn-
ity to the ocean insures a crop without irrigii-
ton. Excellent wheel has been raised for the
last two years upon the hills adjoining the
ocean. This wheat field contains 1000 acres
and covers the lightest soil upon the Rancho.
There is no alkali or barren land.
