people. They are still raising a little

people. They are still raising little
wheat around here. There are two
quite large farms on the way out to
my place where they are cutting wheat
now that looks to me like 15-bushel
crop. This must be pretty good land
considering the fact that small grain
has been grown on it for the last AZ
or so years without irrigating or with
out putting anything back on the land
l have been told that orange orchards
in the Santa Anna country have been
sold for as much as $4,000 per acre
some price, what? When l was in
California in 1916 heard of sales be-
ing made at over $4,000 per acre,
Quite different around here. have
been looking at 50-acre orange,
peach, olive, ETC., orchard II miles
east of here, on the Lincoln highway,
with full equipment of buildings
that would cost now at least $4,000,
all in trees, most of which are bearing,
everything in first-class condition,
that can be bought for $4,000 on easy
terms. It is owned by widow, whose
reason for selling is that the RESPONSE
bility of managing the place is too
great for her. 1t looks to me like a
splendid buy. Perhaps you know of
someone in Minot who would be inter-
ested. There is packing house on
this place that the owner gets 5000
year rental for. There are two
houses and the farm could be divided
into three farms very nicely for as
many people.
As l expect to have quite little
spare time l am thinking quite serious
ly of getting into the real estate game
and with my. large acquaintance in the
east see no reason why l cannot do a
good business. believe there are
some splendid opportunities here for
investment and anyone taking plenty
Of time and investigating carefully
can, in my opinion, find what they
want. There are chances Of getting
"stung," of course, just like every
where else, and for that reason my ad-
vice is to 60 slow and investigate
everything thoroly before investing.
If you know of anyone coming out
here for the purpose of making an in
vestment kindly put me in touch with
them and / will give them the very
bests service I can. I will certainly
recommend nothing unless have very
good reason to believe it is what they
want and should have.
The roads are sure fine. We have
autoed nearly every day since we ar
rived and have hardly been off con-
crete road.
"a is the warmest it has been since
we have been here, and only one day,
but the humidity was only 13 per cent,
so the heat was not disagreeable. It
has been cool evenings and nights,
bed covers being necessary for COM
fort. Old timers tell me since the
earthquake at San Francisco there has
been decided change in the climate

town of Folsom, where gold was first
discovered in California in '1848. Have
six acres of fruit and almond trees,
most of which are bearing, have three
acres suitable for pears, which we ex-
pect to plant next spring, and straw
berries and blackberries galore. The
place is we'll equipped with buildings,
in fact, it would cost as much a.
paid for the place to put them up at
present prices. Folsom is on the Am
erican river and I understand trout is
not unknown to the natives and as
that particular brand is my favorite
fish, will make an effort to sneak up
on few.
Sacramento and this district have
not been boosted like a good many
other districts in the state, but from
all / can learn anything that can be
raised in any other part of the state
can be and is grown here and the eli
mate is ideal Especially where my
place is, of course). Consequently,
there is great deRl of undeveloped
land in the district, but it is fast be-
ing settled and largely by eastern
