Climate.

An important factor to the homeseeker is
that OF climate. No matter what effort is
made by the settler, If the climatic condi-
tions are not favorable no work of his can
change them. Human power or ingenuity
cannot change the climate provided by the
Almighty. Those who have not had the OPP
pOrtunity to investigate the matter often
are under the impression that the months
Of June, July, August, September, in the
Orchard Homes section. are much hotter than
the same months in the northern or western
states. In point of fact the reverse of the
case is true. The Orchard Homes summer
season is long, but equable, and very rarely
does the temperature reach 50 degrees in the
very hottest weather. The western summer
is short, but very much hotter, while it
lasts, than the same season at Orchard
Homes. Vegetation in the west and north
must receive its required amount of heat and
sunshine in a smaller lumber of days than
is the case in the Orchard Homes region.
Scientific reports show that there is really
more heat in the western states of this
latitude in the midsummer months than
during the same period in the Orchard Homes
country. In fact extremes of heat, like ex-
tremes of cold. never occur there. The
nights, too. are cool and pleasant all the
year round. Sleep is not broken by the
steady prostrating heat so often experienced
in this latitude. Where grasses remain
green all winter it is not surprising that the
cattle can run out all the time and remain
fat, No periods of fierce cold weather are
to be provided against in this balmy climate.
The cost of living is at least one-third less
than IL is here. Your garden gives you the
finest of vegetables, and what is more, gives
them to you the year through. You can raise
chickens for your own use and for market.
They do exceptionally well because of the
steady, equable temperature and all that you
can ship Will fetch you the very highest
prices. Turkeys do well and are profitable
to raise. Your fuel is an item hardly to be
taken into account at Orchard Homes, be-
cause you need fuel more for cooking than
for heating, and the very best Of hard wood
is at your disposal at a minimum of cost.
There is no fruit outside of the strictly
tropical varieties that you cannot raise sue
c~essfully at Orchard Homes. 1t has been
locally celebrated as a fine fruit belt of land
for the past fifty years. OF course all vege-
tables thrive and you can make two or three
crops each year off the same land and find
ready shipment and sale for all your product.
