prize?. There should be FIVE to ten
such prizes and these would do more
than ten times the same amount Of
money I'd actually develop high
grade cultivation in the valley.
Mr.. Plummer said that if five per
cent of the money his company had
spent in an experimental farm which
was now abandoned had been spent
in prizes such as is above outlined,
he felt that Mercedes would have
been full of well kept vineyards, or
chards and flower gardens.
