III the Sacramento Valley re-
quires irrigation for its highest
development. The last California
Blue Book contains the official
declaration that irrigation will
make one acre do the work Of
FIVE in Solano County. The logi-
cal conclusion Of that opinion is
that irrigation should multiply
land values five-fold
1t is a fact that only three
farms out Of the vast number
bought by the Solano Irrigated
Farms Inc. had mortgages on
them; 800 had paid their way for
nearly a half century, without
irrigation, to stockmen and
grain growers. Such land, trans
formed by the magic Of water,
presents a promise Of an agri-
cultural empire-a farming para
disc. 1t was that tremendous
possibility that induced the So
lano company to buy out every
land holder in an area Of 100
square miles.
The soil was there, the trans
portation facilities were apparent
and the market was within arm 5
reach. But the land needed
water
Not a dozen, nor hundred,
Of the original farm owners
could afford the vast expense OF
bringing the water to their lands.

It was possible only to big capi-
tai backed by big faith. So capi-
tai went to work with money,
men and monster machines. 1t
tapped California's greatest
water supply-the Sacramento
river, with its flow of 5000 sec
ond feet; river carrying FIVE
times as much water as the San
Joaquin; river that in its low
est stage in fifty years still had
water enough to fill the Solano
canals and reservoir with a soil
tonic, sun-tempered and rich in
suspended silt, washed from the
Sierra.
The supply will never be ex-
hausted.. 1t will never fail in the
years when drought is upon the
rest Of the land. 1t will be ready
the moment it is needed to force
bumper crops Of alfalfa, to give
size and color and flavor to
fruits, to mature perfect vege-
tables for discriminating mar
ket.
In a word, your bank balance
will swell with every harvest on
a Solano Irrigated Farm.
