Farming at good profit not an experiment IN the FL
Paso Valley. What man has done another may duph-
do better with the experience
Intensive farming the rule in irrigated country It
has been found that comparatively small acreage may
be worked economically by the individual farmer
and the net returns larger proportion than where
extensive acreage is handled The chief aim of the Ma
onal Irrigation law is to multiply homes by restricting
the acreage which may receive the stored water The adj
vantages to the resident community of small farms
manifold. The who is putting up with the discom-
forts and hardships and perhaps meager existence of
colder climate should by all look into the oppor
ty that lies in the Ell Paso Valley If from ten twenty
forty of land he canraise crops that win give him
ownership of that land and water right besides money
bank and good living for his family it looks if it
would certainly be well for him to remove to this Land of
Sunshine join in its advance and partake of its prosperity
IT something to feel the full glow of health that the
outdoors and equable climate bring and something
still to acquire competency in a pleasant land
where the toll necessary acquire it does bring age
before it can be enjoyed.
