Another Land Opening

| Land prices are based largely on the prox-
| unity Of the land TO human habitations. There
i is lot of land left In California as good as
| that of Redlands, Riverside or Fresno, and
the prices are as low the above towns were
some thirty forty years ago
| We organize and locate colonies of 500 to
| 1000 families, and make Riversides and Fres-
nos OF undeveloped land. We organized Clark
colony ts2S an acre), Alpaugh (s19 an acre.,
Wasco ($225Q acre), and three others near
Los Angeles.
We are now organizing our seventh colony

placed successfully six colonies in the held.
and established them as communities the sew
enth ought to be an important event
We are awake with the fever OF responsible
ity that rests upon us, to make the seventh
colony project that will be crowded with
happy homes devoted to rural pursuits, or
chard life. dairy. alfalfa and vegetable farm
ing.
How does the seventh colony find this asso-
citation In It's preparation, with Aland?
This is the important question right now.
Fortunately the work that we have done thus
far has attracted the attention OF a great many
land holders who have heretofore been unwill-
ing to have their land cut up the old
fashioned retail plan. as 1t was unsatisfactory
to everybody concerned. Some OF these owners
are now preparing some OF the richest acres
In this state, so that we may be able to sub
NIT them this season to our members, and we
have about five tracts proffered US, any one
OF which Will be q big, important proposition
to you, for still able to get some low
priced land Immediately upon or closely ad-
Joining railroad facilities. and there is no
doubt that these days of low priced irrigable
lands In California are soon to pass.
There is only one crop OF land and when
that is gone here in this state there will be
nothing but high priced land left
The location of this Seventh Extension col
ony cannot be decided, OF course, until we
have had expression Of opinion from mem-
bers. In almost every district of the state we
have one or more tracts in view, which will
be brought to the attention OF the members as
we investigate them.

you would prefer to have the Seventh Exten-
sion colony go In, and therefore want you to
call at our offices, on the ground door Of the
Chamber OF Commerce. and discuss the plan.
The lower San Joaquin valley shows some
excellent opportunities at moderate prices.
This district Is nearer to Los Angeles than any
other one It begins at Bakersfield and runs
north to, say, about Fresno. The upper San
Joaquin valley around Modesto and Turlock,
is another good district, with excellent water
supply. The Sacramento valley, beginning
from Sacramento city, north. presents some OPP
portunlties, think. and IL you are familiar
with this and would prefer land in this Sec
tion, would like to have you say so. Then we
come to the Salinas valley, where Clark coli
ony was located out first effort. This Is an
Monterey county, and has excellent water
Here are the fuor principal sections In which
we may sucure land. Call and let us know
which one OF these sections you would prefer
TO so to, and while you doing so bring us
the na-les of one or two friends whom you
think ought to join the seventh homeseekers'
club.
What is to be the future of the colonies that
organize during the next year two we
cann-t say, as in some districts where we
were able to get cheap land two years ago It
is now way up to the higher levels OF $40 and
500 per acre. But for this season we expect
to have land as low as SIS to $40 an acre, pos
sibly q little lower. just according to where it
is located, in what county and what its irri-
cation and transportation conditions are.
We want to make the Seventh Home Exten-
sion colony about twice large in It's extent
as any other colony that we have placed out.
Can we do this? Well. it will depend upon
the membership already enrolled to whether
you have friends whom you want to go along
and participate In the profits that arise
from the enhancement of land values under
this plan. We viii have the land ready, ana
will within few weeks have the big COM
mttee elected by you club members. and then

next colony will include the right for some to
take as high as SO or 160 acres, around the
outside OF the tract.

land for the boys that are growing up, In
these neweu districts. All the elements Of
chance have been eliminated The question OF
crops and the question OF irrigation, and the
problems of marketing, have been largely

time to get good land. The best way Is TO
