 Mir Heard stated yesterday: eve have been pretty busy the last week in enlarging the office force along the lines of systematized energy SD as to
 take care of the steadily increasing
 business. Our sales, however, during
 the past ten days have been exceedingly satisfactory and include the following transactions. some of which have been under consideration for some time but
 have been actually closed during the period referred to.
 w S Doman bought of K. s. Townsend. 360 acres of exceptionally fine land about 13 miles northwest of town for S19.SO0. It is MT. Dorman's intention to bring this entire tract into a high state Of cultivation and eventu- ally sub- divide it into small tracts. As evidence of the very desirable char acter of this land is the fact that dur ing the past two years We have sold this identical tract three times, each time at a handsome profit to the seller and in my judgment, MT. Dorman will
 make the best profit of any one who has yet purchased the property. Another transaction concluded this week uhich has been under way for some time is the sale in Los Olives to
 Mir. Winslow Of the Goldberg Bros. company, of a five acre tract on which
 he has recently completed the erection of a residence which is one of the most attractive in the city of Phoenix or its
 suburbs"
 Mir. Heard stated that he expected considerable more building in Los Olives subdivision this spring as there
 is a very active inquiry for this high grade class of property.
 ''I am glad to say" he said. that there is quite an activity in Buckeye real estate. We have closed the sale of
 a very desirable so acre ranch this
 week from C. C. Gov to Albert Nelson, and another large transaction involving the sale of 36G acres is just brought to
 a focus, while other transactions, sev- cral involving the erection of new homes. are under way.
 "The demand for small places near town still continues and among these transactions closed within the last ten days is the sale oc an acre tract near Alhambra to Mrs. Etta Bercy who for many vCars has been in charge of the Alhambra school and who has erected ia very attractive nome on this tract.
 southeast of town in the strawberry IIeIt we have sold to MT. Selman for MT Dorsett. a 20 acre tract just ad- joining the Nelson tract on the south. MT. Selman. who is an experienced farmer and small fruit grower, will at orce improve this property and bring it up to its maximum of productive ness.
 "One of the most satisfactory features of tfc real estate situation is the con-
 .taut in:a-Jvcnent going or on the purt of the rl;rC"a.,ers. There Is an lawikcnimg intefe-t throughout the val ley to the need of intensive farming. thus materially incrrr' ing IF produc- ti--. ;u.uc of OFT mary elOus rict lands" Asked as to the beets which the Southwestern Sugar & Land Company have planted on the Bartlett-H Heard ranch south of PHC eniX. Mr. Heard said: Expert beet growers tell me that l it would l,e nnposs ale for beets to gro" better than those cn the 190 acre tract which the beet @Ggar company are farming on our land south of town. over SC acres of these beets are now up with a wonderfully uniform stand, and experts advise me that in view of the exceeding richness of this land there IS q strong probability of this entire tract welding twenty-five tons to the acre. An exainpie of the class of this soil Is shown in the fact that nearly 100 per cent of the beet seed has germinated.
