The lands of this valley are not incum-
bered by school or irrigation bonds all
the water companies have money in their
treasures. We owe nothing on our roads,
and we have some 10 or l2 miles of our
main irrigation ditch fumed and paid for;
but few valleys In the state can say as
much.
In Southern California water-not land
is of the first impor, r,ance. Irrigation
insures crops and is the foundation of
successful horticulture. The Los Nietos
valley offers the best ali-around water
supply in the whole southern part of the
state. and this should be remembered by
intending settlers. II you seek a home In
Southern California visit Downey in the
Los Nietos valley, whose varied interests
assure thunder any and all circum-
stances-a large and ever-growing pros
Alfalfa is king in this valley; we cut it I
to times year.

A free water right goes with all our
ranches all the water two men can ham

cheapest in all the state.
