Perpetual summer. with its genial and
life-giving sunshine, its wealth OF fruits
and flowers, and the perennial freshness

The difference in conducting fruit
farm here and one for general purposes
in Iowa iB very great, and in so far as
the pleasure Of the business is concerned
is largely in favor of this place. Rela-
lively speaking, an average 10-acre ranch
here would cost about the same as 160-
acre farm in Iowa, and, of course, the
labor necessary to operate the ranch
would be very light compared with that
OF the farm, and, at the same time,
man can have his ranch under
his own immediate observation,
and see at once each individual want as
it may arise. He will, or may have, a
great variety OF kinds Of fruit, and it
will rarely happen that any two Of such
varieties will need attention just at the
same time, and still more rarely will it
happen than any considerable number
OF them will need to be harvested at the
same time. The fruit is usually sold
upon the trees, and thus all the killing
work Of harvesting and threshing crop
in Iowa is avoided. Another and very
convenient advantage with the Cal
ifornia crop is a man does not have to
wait year for returns from his labor.
