THE LORD'
Investigation will show that this F.
$4,000 acres comprises one of the
finest bodies OF Agricultural and
Truck Farming land in the entire
state, commencing about 3G miles
south OF San Antonio, and about two
miles south Of Pleasanton (the county
seat Of Atascosa County,, and ex-
tending through Atascosa and "A part
of McMullen Counties, TO within n
miles Of my 6O,O00.acre Live Oak
County Ranch, which | in four months

and turn over to three bonded Trus-
tees S250,0O0 from the proceeds of
the sale of this property to the pur-
chasers, as a bonus to the first rail-
road built through this property on
the line which l shall designate
This property is located on that
middle plain between East Texas,
where II rains too much, and the arid
section OF West Texas, where Il does
not rain enough.
Its close proximity TO San Antonio,
the largest city in the State, with
claimed population OF over 100000,
enhances its value as a market for
Agricultural and Truck farm products
far beyond the value of similar land
not so favorably located.

Page G3 Of the book entitled Beau
tifui san Antonio" officially issued
by the Business Mems Club of San
Antonio, dated May, 1906, says:
1T is readily conceded by all those
who know anything about Texas that
the most prolific agricultural section
is that which recognizes San Antonio
as its logical center, particularly that
portion directly south Of San An
tonic, with the Gulf of Mexico border
ing on the southeast and the Rio
Grande bordering on the south and
west.
Within the last four or five years,
in the territory named, special at.
tention has been given to growing
vegetables, they maturing at a time
when they secure the maximum prices
on Northern markets, which markets
they virtually invade without a COM
petitor. The profit in growing vege-
tables in this territory will be seen
by an examination OF the following
figures, secured from reliable sources,
showing
Net Earnings Per Acre,
"Watermelons from $75 10 5000.
"Cantaloupes from $4,000 TO $500.
Cabbage from S125.00 TO S225.00.
"Cauliflower from $500 to $4,000.
Beans and Peas from 10000 to
