The cooperative spirit which
prompted the great dam and the de-
velopment Of the farming country also
makes itself manifest in the attitude
Of the people toward newcomers. They
welcome them because they realize they
need the people to build up the COM

The city itself shows this in the
rapid strides it has made. From a
struggling village only a few years ago
ii now counts a population of nearly
5000. 1t has more than so Blocks OF
broad bituminized streets. 1t boasts
a beautiful park system right in the

Sun, Soil and Water Unite to Make Farmers
Life Particularly Pleasant

Stanislaus, the gateway county of the
San JOAQUIN valley, has been endowed
by nature with advantages of wealth
that will eventually bring 10 those who
assist in her development both inde-
pendence and contentmept The fertile
plain that stretches 80 miles from east
to west across the country has COM
plete control of the waters drained by
the western slope of the snow capped
Sierras. No section of the west has
greater advantages of water, nor re-
sources so easily developed Indeed,
but few sections of large area have
adequate resources for irri CATION, and 1t
is the extent in acreage and the output
In production that bring the larger
development to q community that builds
towns and railways and factories. and
creates stability. This condition alone
will in time make Modesto the richest
farming section in the state.
PRODUCTIVE SOIL
The fertility of the sedimentary soil
of the district is indicated by the fact
that 80 years of continual cropping to
grain has brought no exhaustion 10 the
land. Dry years. of course, meant crop
failures, but with rains to RELEASE the
productive elements of the soil the
crops were abundant In facV, Modesto
long had a reputation as the banner
grain growing section of the San Joa-
quin valley.
Under the changed conditions OF irri-
cation. grain farming is fast being
abandoned, and the land in smaller
holdings devoted to intensified farming.
Today 40 acres in alfalfa or fruits is
more valuable than half section under
such conditions as obtained but a few
years past. Closely settled communities
are taking the place of the grain ranch.
and all that is necessary to complete
the Transformation is more people Of
thrift and intelligence.
To this fertile land with it's abund-
ance of water has bean given a climate
that is semitropical In crop results. This
semitropica1 character is indicated by
the two seasons-wet and dry. The
rainy season is showery, and the precip-
itation averages but slightly in excess
of IL inches.

cheaper and more abundant. The cli-
mate is even. The transportation ia
cilities, both by rail- and water, are
ample.
WHERE THE FARMER SUCCEEDS
The farmer is successful. All prod
nets OF this zone reach the most profit
able perfection. They do not simply
grow; they thrive.
While the Modesto irrigated district
gained its greatest reputation and sue
cess as an alfalfa and dairy country,
and probably viii remain pre-eminent
in that industry forever. recent years
have demonstrated the wonderful va
riety OF products possible with such soil
and water, and under such ideal eli
matte conditions.
Fruits are most successfully grown
there. Apples. apricOts, peaches, pears

100000 acres was made possible by
the public spirited efforts of the men
who conceived the project of building a
diverting dam across the Tuolumne
river a few years ago. The enterprise
required foresight, confidence and
energy. 1t represents the largest CO
operative irrigation scheme in the
world. The dam alone cost $3.50, 900.
The entire system with it's canals and
distributing bitches cost upward of $3,-

Such development has been contiuu-
Gus in the Modesto district since the
beginning of irrigation. At least n
third of the acreage has already bean
planted in irrigated crops. Population
has more than trebled. Today another
third of the grain acreage is offered for
sale in 20 and 40 acre lots at prices
ranging from 500 upward, according

tion to building improvements and
value of acreage production. Alfalfa
growing from to 10 tons of hay per
acre each season is of unQuestioned
value to the dairyman. When year
old peach trees net profit of over 800
an acre the value of the orchard may
be safely estimated. Values of i'm
proved lands depend on the variety AMI
age of crops. One 10 acre olive grove
near Modesto is valued at $1,000 an
acre. The trees are making an annual
profit of 20 per cent on that valuation.
And, here is where the opportunity
comes fn-the same quality of land,
unimproved, but with every irrigation
facility, may be purchased on easy
terms at prices that never will be pos
sible again.

CALIFORNIA Lands
IN GREAT DEMAND

There is no question that practically
al the larger land holdings throughout
California will soon be in the hands of
developing companies. who will cut
them up into innumerab bic small, irri-
gated farms to supply the growing de-
mand for such properties.
Real estate dealers in all sections Of
the state seem 10 be in accord with the
idea that this movement will eclipse in
importance all other realty transactions
IN the state. and are preparing in vari-
Gus ways TO get in on the ground floor
with their selling forces.
Some Of the larger concerns are de-
voting their time at present to the
wholesale end Of the business and are
securing big tracts for eastern clients
who are prepared to expend millions of
dollars upon likely projects, providing
they can secure the acreage at a rea-
sonably low price.
We have more calls for good, cheap
farming lands than we can supply,
ssii J. z. Green, manager of the coun-
~ land department for Baldwin &
howell. Our greatest difficulty is to
list properties at the right prices. Land
owners don't seem TO realize that there
are millions of acres awaiting develop
nlent in Canada, Washington and Ore
gon and that big operators figure val
ues without sentiment. As sooneas we
get a large ranch listed at the right
price we have no trouble finding a
buyer, our greatest trouble being to
get # listed at a price that will inter-
est big people.
The s275.OOO sale of the Union ISL
and property is a good example of the
point ] am making continued Green.
This land, based upon its average net
income of sl7 an acre, was worth at
least 100000. It didn't cost Mr.. Will
liams anywhere near as much, however,
and when he saw d good profit at the
price Of $275.000 he sold. He could
have listed 1t at 100000, but there is
too much similar land in the west to
warrant the price and he was smart
enough TO see ii.
Another example could be cited in
the sale Of the Haggin ranch for ap-
proximately $1.750.O00," added Green.
This property consisted of some $4,000
acres and was sold at an average price
Of about $40 an acre. There are many
land owners who claim the property is
worth more. and so IL is. but not TO J.
p. HaRgin. It will be subdivided and
colonized and irrigated and probably
resold. in small pieces, for $500 or $500
an acre, but Mr.. Haggin had no disposi-
ton TO tackle such a job. He was sat
ished with a reasonable profit and
shrewd enough 10 realize that the Min
neapolis syndicate who bought it knew
values and couldn't be induced to buy
at any exorbitsnt figure"

were making great strides in the deveI-
opment Of their country department

very large deals.

DANGER IN DELAY
Readers of The San Francisco Call
who have followed the Modesto articles
FOR the last three months and who
have intended TO investigate the op-
portunities at later date should not
defer their action too long. Just q
glance at the rapid increase of land
values must show the Importance of
buying soon.
In 1900 so acres of good representa-
tive land sold for $3.50 an acre. In 1902
it sold for $50 an acre. That same land
sold recently for s1s5 an acre, planted
to alfalfa.
Such advances in price carry their
own argument and sound warming
to those who seek the best land at the
lowest possible price, and to those who
wish to pitch their tent where the
difference between the price of today
and that of year from today will
alone represent snug little profit

Alfalfa Fed Cows at Modesto
Yield Handsome Returns
for Their Owners

1t is estimated that one acre of al
falfa will furnish abundant feed for
one COW the whole year round. on
alfalfa alone, the average cows
throughout the Modesto district are
producing in butter fat from 81. to s12
a month. Many of the cows are maxi
ing more than 800 a year
During the year l. w. Hunsucker,
who is located near Modesto milked an
average of 25 cows. He received from
the creamery, in bynonthly checks,
s2,53010; drew butter for his own use
to the market value of $89.39, and paid
the creamery, for hauling cream $S1.39.
The gross returns from the 20 cows
aggregated s2,70o.SS, an average of
sos per COW. In addition to this
amount, $500 worth of calves and hogs.
fed on skim milk, was sold from the
ranch.
Perhaps one of the most successful
dairymen in the district is W. P.
Stephenson, who owns a 4O-acre alfal-
ia ranch near Modesto. From careful
records showing the results obtained
from his herd of Jerseys the follow
ing statement is made:
In one month he sold from 80 cows
1902 worth of butter fat, an average
slightly in excess of $40 head. To
these 80 cows he fed during the 80
days Is tons of alfalfa, one-half ton
to each COW. No other feed whatever.
This is equal to $50 ton for the hay
The regular hay market affords
profitable returns from well farmed al
falfa. This fact is illustrated by a
statement from w. E. Garrison From
80 acres of alfalfa near Modesto he
cut ten tons of hay per acre-six crops
being grown. The hay was sold from
the ranch, loose. for So a ton-$SO an
acre.
No wonder that land like this is
steadily increasing in value and is
sought by home seekers from every
section of the United States.
