of the valley.
The settlement and development ol
lands in this valley are as yet confined
to the best lands some distance from the
s. P. railroad. The soil for thirty miles
west of the alkali belt is a soft, friable,
chocolate-colored sandy loan, more
easily cultivated and more productive
than the rich adobe lands Of the San
Joaquin or Sacramento valleys.
There are several instances in this
section where the settler has got more
for his crop this season than the first cost
OF the land and the expense of putting
in and harvesting his crop. The charac-
ter of the soil is such that by cultivatine
it not only drains the moisture from 9
great depth, but it holds it near the sur
face, giving vigorous backing to treei
and vines as well as all kinds of agricul.
tural crops. Messrs. Adams, Bower
Col. Hotchkiss, Messrs. Bean, Eaton
Witch, Frederiksen, Dearborn, Gani
BILE, Kirstic, Sutton, Werth, Washburn
Crocker, Allen, Smith & Burns, Schmidt
Deste, and several others have cleared
from ten to 200 acres each on the nortf
side of the valley this season, and will
more than double the area of cultivated
land the coming fall and winter.
Bayles Brothers will clear and put in
