The fruits Of the world contribute to
Madera's prosperity. With few excep-
tions nearly all fruits may be profitably
grown at MADEIRA.
This fertile region also grows all the
agricultural products of the famous San
Joaquin valley, with lumber and wines
in a proportion still more vast
Cattle, horses, sheep. hogs, wheat,
barley, oats, rye, Egyptian corn, broom
corn, oranges, lemons figs, olives and
all the deciduous fruits grow album

raisin grapes form a most important
asset and have contributed to the
wealth of the community and made
many vineyardists independent for life

portunity to the farmer of small means.
Alfalfa planted in the fall or early
spring yields from a ton to ton and a
quarter in the summer and after the
first year yields as many as five crops
annually and sometimes more.
About 100000 acres are annually
planted to wheat and barley
In addition to the home consumption
the value of hay and grain shipments
from this county reaches $1,250,00O.
The ideal conditions of the climate
and the abundant yield of cattle, sheep
and hog feed render stock raising very
profitable.
The soil and climate of MADEIRA
county permit the development of
the finest orange and lemon groves.
Along the hills the soil is impregnated
with iron and manganese so necessary
to the life and tonic properties of fruit.
There the fruit ripens earlier than in
southern California and the industry is
destined to become leading one.
What MADEIRA county needs is more

farmers who. without fear of work,

localities where labor is reduced to a
minimum. Water is plentiful and

of them are continuous bodies of rich,
productive soil. The system of farm
ing these great properties permits the
renting of small farms to individual
tenants. The rentals vary from one
fourth to .one-half of. the crop The
renter who pays one-fourth of his crop
supplies his own seed stock, imple-
ments and other necessaries. All, or
some of the accessories are furnished
when half of the crop is paid for the
rent
One of the large ranches, the Chow
chilla, numbering $1,000 acres, is soon
to be divided into small tracts. The
others, it is predicted, will soon follow
the same march of Improvement. A
recent article in the MADEIRA Daily
regarding them:
DIVISION OF BIG TRACTS
To determine when these great
aggregations of landed properties are
to be segregated is a matter largely
of speculation. In all probability
they will not remain in their entirety
for many years. The lure of gain,
owing to the influx of eastern and
foreign home seekers and the capacity
of the soil will divide them. Taxa
ton based on relative values will ma
terially increase assessment roles.
The big land owners can not much
longer resist the magnet of prices.

This is not hearsay evidence. The

of California behind them.
M. E. Jaffa, professor of nutrition in
the university, says these things about
alfalfa:
1T is three times as rich a food as
the best wheat hay.
1T is twice as good as the best oat
hay.
Alfalfa is so per cent better than
the best clover.
1T is one and a half times better
than barley.
Alfalfa is rich in muscle making
