community extensive farming is pos
sible and of course is the most prof.
tabler. Here you are required to
invest in but few acres instead of
many. Not only is investment that
much smaller but your taxes that
much less. An acre here under ir-
rigation will produce about three
times as much as three there on an
average. This means a saving OF
two thirds in seeds, that much less
ground to pillow, cultivate and har-
vest. When it comes to hay a
twenty acre field here, will produce
as much as hundred acre field there.
Alfalfa is the most nutritious grass
