TIME IS NOW At HAND FOR
MAKING SMALL SUBDIVISIONS

One of the reasons, probably the
main one, why Los Angeles real es-
tate opera>ors never have taken hold
of this valley with vigor has been the
fact that there was no chance for sub
dividing the land and selling it to ac
tual settlers. The one thing these
real estate men delight in is in get
ting hold of their individual tracts
and cutting them up.
Where good sized farms are re-
quired the control of thousands OF
acres and subdivision into farms of
about 100 acres is in their line. In
fruit growing and gardening districts
they require smaller bodies of LAND
which they cut UP into ;, o and 90
acre tracts. Near the cilics they buy
land to cut UP into town lots.
AS things have been here there have
been no tracts OF thousands of acres
for them to cut into 100-acre farms,
and until the present there has been

little demand for smaller holdings, but
now the time has come for cutting
quarter sections into ten-acre tracts
and vast amount of this will be done
in the next few years. This fits the
operations. for the real estate men,
and undoubtedly many of them will
get into the field.
There are families in the valley
who are making good livings on from
five to ten acres, and thousands of
other families can do as well.
When the fact becomes known
among the Los Angeles real estate
operators that so good field is open
to them there will be a complete rev.
Olution in their projects.

WILL MAKE A MILLION BY
THE GROWING Of A SIDE CROP

Los Angeles is now drawing heavily
on the alfalfa fields of Utah, and will
of necessity go even further for hay
and grain Usually great quantity
of hay is here held in reserve, but
this year the hay will undoubtedly be
rushed to market freely, the farmers
depending on a great corn crop tC
make good the lack of hay reserve.
In all parts of the valley there is
realization that this is distinctively
Imperial valleys year, and that every
acre of land should be made to give
the utmost output.
Imperial Valley press., 1912-02-22

That the farmers of the valley will
make a million dollars or more this
year growing corn after harvesting
barley seems certain. 1t now is very
apparent that the whole southern coast
is to suffer great shortage of hay and
grain, and the demand for all kinds
of feed stuff at high prices is sure
to continue throughout the season. BY
growing a summer crop of corn this
season many farmers will thus be en-
abled to add greatly to their revenue,
for every ounce of live stock food
will be needed.
