FARM SLIDING DOWN HILL.
Earthquake Jars Five Acres of Land
Loose in California Mountain
Side and 1t Is Moving.

Near Oxnard, the beet sugar cen.
ter, is a moving five-acre field that
is covered with grain. On this land
the residences, granaries, animals
and residents are sliding down the
valley. This fve-acre tract is on
Springville hill, and, having been
Jared loose, is slowly making it's
way toward the valley of the Santa
Ynez river.
After the earthquake of February
that shook the Santa Ynez valley,
line of demarcation, the shape of a
long eliptical curve, having the APP
pearance of newly-plowed furrow,
was noticed along the grain field
above one of the low bluffs from cor
ner to corner of the field. The space
within the eclipse, five acres, is slid
ing away from the remainder of the
field at the rate of eight inches a
week The crevasse now formed is
10 feet wide at the surface and is
several hundred feet deep.
The moving field is part of the Sol
ari estate, owned by James Kohler
of Pasadena.
