MARcUSE, CALIFORNIA, :,
LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARMING.

Marcuse Colony, located in Suffer
County, which is in the heart OF the
Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to
the front as farming community in
which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known may be successfully raised
without irrigation.
The soil is a dark, sandy loan,
sedimentary in character, level and
well drained. 1t has the advantage
over other soils in that it is loose in
character and superior to heavy soils.
With this wealth of soil, abundance
of water, unexcelled climate and long
growing season, Marcuse Colony is
the ideal place for the homeseeker
with limited means, the worn out pro-
fessional man, or the young man look
ing for a small farm in a healthful
climate.
The proximity Of Marcuse Colony to
Sacramento, furnishes a ready market
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits, vegetables,
alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry
yield large returns. The rainfall is
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is yet moderately priced, but
crop failures in other sections Of the
United States will bring new settlers
in rapidly. This, together with the
holding of the Panama Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco during 1915,
is bound to raise the price, and wheth-
er for a home, or for an investment,
now is the time to purchase. Land
may be had in tracts suitable to the
means of all and the results obtained
are almost beyond belief. Further IN
formation will be gladly furnished by
