Your letter received asking us TO
tell you something about what We,
Ford Brothers & Company, have done
and are doing with fifty acres of land
we bought year ago. We purchased
this land on the 10th of December,
1910. We bought fifty acres, one
fourth of it being within the corpor-
ate limits of Centerville. We paid for
this land $1,000 and invested $500 in
improvements. These Improvements
consisted of repairing tenant house,
putting up cheap out houses and
about $3.50 worth of woven wire fences
all around and through the farm.
I'VE planted twelve acres of this
fifty in tomatoes. Three acres of this
twelve were killed by the unusually
cold night of March 10th or 18th.
From the nine remaining acres we
shipped $5,175 worth of tomatoes.
