in small tracts from ten acres upward for
colonization purposes. This well-known
body of land is about four hours ride from
/ the bay, and lies within the earliest and
finest fruit belt on the coast. While irri-
CATION is not an absolute necessity the
valley is provided with an ample water
supply 1t is in the main fertile allu-
vial soil, embracing within the range of its
products everything from the great staples,
like wheat, corn, hay and barley,
up to the semi-tropical orange, lemon and
| fig. For the production of prunes, plums,
peaches, apples and pears 1t has no supe-
rior on the coast. Flood this fair valley
with briefly interrupted sunshine for nine
months of the year. and temperature that
at It's coldest is not lower than 25 degrees
and you have an outline picture of Esparto
town and colony. The town of Esparto

| rolling hills. On the whole, this is one of
the most notable recent subdivisions of
country lands in California.
