class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality, and is offered az
from $40 to $50 per acre. in subdivisions Of
40, 80, 40, 16o and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
Subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
Hent of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years In which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in-
terest at the rate of Z per cent. per annunl,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SIC per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement wiz prove to
home-Eeakers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at 81 o an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large

mother nursed him until bedtime, when
she retired.
