Editor Ward County Independent:
So many have asked me what people
do in the land of Herman until the
Diversified farming is already we'll
fruit grows. l say to all just grow
the common old pumpkins which bring
SIS. per acre if not satisfied with such
lovely work then grow sweet po,a-
toes which will pay for the lnad in
one year. Some say, 81 know nothing
about growing fruit" that may be so,
but we can learn the same as we learn
to grow crops in North Dakota; we
have the soil and the water and the
water does not come from wells for
up on the high Sierra where Mount
Whitney tops the watershed starts the
Kings river that has carved for itself
mighty canyon down which flows a
constant and large volume of water
from the perpetual sources of the
snow. The first water right to Kings
river appertained to the canal that
serves the lands of Herman with a GER
tain and sufficient supply. There are
no fumes; so level is the country that
the bitches follow in most cases the
section lines and streets and divide
herman with lines of silver into a
checkerboard of varying verdures. It
is a wonderful country for man who
has never examined this country could
not bring himself to believe half OF
what he would be told. I understand
all this I did not believe it myself;
now have not told half of it. When
coming home met quite lot of peo-
pie from Oakland, was telling some
of them where had located and not
one of them knew of the Herman
country. They would say, "oh, yes,
that is where, they raise a lot OF
grapes" but that was all they knew.
When told them that they raised the
famous calumyma or Smyrna big
olives, peaches apricots, lemons To-
qua.s and the hundreds of other
things that grow at Herman and that
it all ripened or 4 weeks earlier
than around Los Angeles $50 miles
further, south and hence would bring
a better price on account of the holi-
day markets OF the east, they just

M ore About California
e. NJ Metcalf is Enthusiastic Over the Possibi|i-
ties Of the Herman Country--TelIs Of the
Big Money to Make

Herman News that some of them have
purchased land at herman. Now
want to confess to you Mr.. Editor that
l did not believe one half OF what was
said about the Herman tract. Like
many another l Thought that the half
would be too much and accounts for
the balance on the grounds that peo-
pie had drank too much California
wine and had become intoxicated
therefore could see double, but must
say that | was just as much surpris-
ed and concluded that l had got them
bad; but when man drives through
the oldest portions of the country and
sees the fine homes that the farmers
live in and wanders through the parks
more beautiful than tongue can tell
the beautiful homes and streets and
magnificent business buildings one
does not need to be old that he is
in an exceptionally rich country. You
can see it and the wealth comes from
the soil it was hard to get prices
while in Herman as to the lowest price
per acre also the highest. Since
came home | have written to several
different people there and this is what
one writes me. That in eight years
grapes 500 to SITS and nothing less
than 500 for peaches, egg plant, corn
bringing the least of all the crops
raised and that was $50 per acre and
that one man raised $4,000 for his
raisins net but fails to say what the
acreage was. The herman News says
that Mr.. Brossenhan got $1,000 for his
water melons grown between the rows
of fruit trees of so acres this year
and onions bring $3.50, cabbage $500
an acre. Mr.. N. o. P. Synogound Of
Grafton, s. D., Elk. Pres. S. D. Horti-
cultural Society, says after a thoro
examination of soil water rights at
Herman does not believe any other
sections of the whole country enjoys
advantages equal to the herman dis
trict. 1 would not take $3.50 per acre
for my land today for I believe 1t will
be worth several times that amount in
a very few years. He has 40 acres
in alfalfa. If you concluded to print
this will come again later on.
