Gone cheaply by the same potent
for. e. Trolley lines bring the
farm and town close together. In
a majority of the irrigated dis
tricts the farms are small-not
more than 10 acres each. With
Is to GO farm families to the
square mile, isolation is eliminated
and life in the country becomes
more nearly urban than rural.
While pioneering in this new
country calls for a good deal of
grit and not a little hard work the
compensation is sure and abundant.
Carving out a home in the desert
is no child's play. it is a mans
work, but there are few places
where nature responds more quick
ly to intelligent industry than the
irrigated country. On the govren-
ment projects the past year has
been a conspicuously prosperous
one. The success of the average
farmer in many instances has been
remarkable. On several of the
projects the crops on individual
farms this year have yielded
enough to enable the owners to re-
pay to the government every dollar
of their obligations if they were SC
inclined. AS the payments to the
government extend over a period
of ten years without interest there
is no object in meeting the same il
advance and most of the farmer
therefore are devoting theil
revenues to improving their home
and in purchasing live stock an,
implements. One of the most in
teresting features of the upbuIdlnt
> of these new communities is tn,
] larg number ,,of settlers who hav,
come from the cities and towns
Their success is all the more nota,
BILE because they had little or n,
previous experience in farming
especially farming by irrigation
Under these cir cumstances the cal
of the open country is likely to
appeal to others who have grown
tired of the stress and fume Of
city life and the never ending
struggle to make income and outgC
balance.
, The west is filing up so rapid,

WHAT ONE COUNTY RAISED.

If Just one county in California can
produce the following, is it any Won
der that the States products mount
so high in California?
More than two million pounds of
raisins are grown in this one county
every year.
b bees make more than one mil
honey annually.
The county ships abroad more than
twenty thousand tons Of hay each
year.
More than 100000 worth Of fat
cattle were shipped to market last
year.
The sum Of $1,000 0 was received
for sheep and 100000 for wool.
Horses and mules were marketed
for $4,000 and the hay and fruit
produced in the county gave returns
Of over 100000
One OF its irrigating canals is 175
feet wide at the bottom and it runs
full of water the year around.
This county contains a great fuller's
earth plant.
Forty car loads of hogs, III car
loads of beef cattle were shipped last
year.
The district also produces apples
which are locally regarded as the SUI
perior Of any raised on the Pacific
coast, and a remarkable fact in con-
nection with this infant industry is
that the trees are free from blight
n the fruit is without flaw.
In addition. the cost of living is low,
and the climate is mild throughout
the year, making it unnecessary for
changes in the weight Of clothing. and
the abundance of farm produce re-
duces the cost of maintaining a family
to Il minimum.
