Dear Friend Rush:
am enclosing herewith my
check for $500, which please
credit to my subscription account.
] do not recall whether it is $3.50
or $500 per annum. However.
that is of little consequence, as
you will credit the amount of the
remittance, anyway.
All are busy in California doing
our full quota toward Licking the
Kaiser. | am interested in the
boys who have gone from Mis-
soG"i Valley, and enjoy hearing
from them through your paper.
Many of them | have known from
babyhood.
realize what their going
means to their families, and trust
they may all return to those who
so bravely sent them away with
a smile Very sincerely.

Sugar

This staple commodity is one
much discussed at the present
time. Last week we wrote about
broom corn in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley and told you ii
would pay 10 per cent on 81, 900
land ii sold at $500 per ton. Ii
has gone up and is now worth
$3.50 per ton there.
Sugar cane is another staple
crop we grow equal to Cuba,
Hawaii or any place in the world.
One firm has about 5000 acres
now growing i'm the valley. Our
yield is from 80 to SO tons per
acre. Sugar cane is worth, gen.
orally speaking, as many dollars
per ton as sugar is worth cents
per pound wholesale. The price
is now around cents per pound,
or $500 per ton for sugar cane.
Suppose we be conservative and
figure the yield at 80 tons and
the price a! $500, a total of $3.50
per acre.
The cultivation and harvest is
very simple and the cost of put
ting on the market will not ex-
coed 1925 per acre, leaving 1925
per acre net. or 10 per cent on
st,25O land.
This land we can sell you at
$3.50 per acre now, but it will be
81 900 land in very few years,
as there is only IA small tract of it
and nothing else like it i'm the
world.
Our next excursion is Tuesday,
November goth. We have a cheap
rate; il is a fine trip. Go with us
and see for yourself the greatest
land bargain ever Offered.
I This land is actually better
investment at $3.50 per acre than
the best Iowa land would be at
$50 per acre, but we can't con-
vince you if you won't go.
Wake up and get i'm the game
before it is too late. Eight big
trainloads of Northern people
went into this valley on this
weeks excursion and the crowds
will increase from now on.
Some of our statements about
This country may sound big. but
we would not make them if we
lcould not prove them.
Don't be misled by other COM
panies Offering cheaper trip or
cheaper land. Our company has
the best proposition i'm the valley
land we can prove il The price
IOf our land is insignificant when
you consider what it will produce
and the interest ii will pay ON the
investment. The best is always
the cheapest in the end.
Remember the date. Begin
planning right now to go and ad-
wise us early that you will be
with us. We guarantee to show
you a good trip and the most
wonderful country you have ever
seen.
