THESE ARE
THRIVING INDUSTRIES

The beauty of this great proposition
is that the wait for fruit trees to come
into a state of bearing is shorter than
anywhere else in the Orchard State"
During that short period of develop
ment the fruit farmer will pay for his
land by side industries, and when the
golden oranges. lemons. peaches. april
cots, ~raisins, prunes, etc, etc. are ready
for market the money they bring is net
profit.
The chicken industry is a source of
immediate profit - so great are the
returns from this side line alone that
poultry keepers find this land better for
chickens han any in the Middle West.
Bee culture. the most fascinating
business pursuit known. is among the
leading m~oney-makers of the San
JIG lquin side lines. This land of sun
sh nj is a haven for the tiny producers
of honey and money.
