OWNERS
ADVISED To
DROP Corn, j.,
COTTON
E. H. Lien Sends Timely
Letter to NONRESIDENT
Land Owners; the L. A.
Chamber of Commerce
Agrees with His Advice.

B. II. Lien during the past few
days has been busy mailing cut
circular letter TO resident and
non-re sident land owners which
contains advice of timely ma
ture. Mr.. Lien states that it Is
the tire for Imperial Valley to
drop ccttCn and ccrn ard return
TO alfalfa.
He has received number of inter-
esting replies, notably one from the
agricultural department Of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce,
which completely comedies with his
views.
HIr. LENS letter is as follows:
As a land owner in the Imperial
Valley you are, perhaps, aware OF the
extraordinary conc.tlon conFrontine'
all whose land is planted to cotton or
corn tor The yeaY 1920 The cotton Is
below the average crop and prices are
low, for which reason less land VIII
be rented during 1921 for the purpose
Of planting cotton.
We have been in the land and leas-
ing business since 1911, -and at no
time have there been so few inquiries
for land to rent - in fact, there are
no prospective tenants at all. we
have numerous applicants for alfalfa
farms every day, but we cannot OBJ
tain MANY such farms for lease, as
the tenants on such farms keep their
leases in force by promptly paying
tho rantals when or before due. We
buy nothing except farms already IN
alfalfa.
After careful study Of the situation
and consultation with our best farm
ers and business men, we have come
to the conclusion that the only rem
edy is for the owner at his own eX-
rense, to plow and carefully prepare
his ground as soon as the present
crop is gathered, which will be, where
corn is now planted, by Jan. l, and
where cotton is now planted by Feb.
p, 1921.
BY starting plowing near these
dates, you may by diligence have your
land prepared for the planting OF al
falfa the early part of March, 1921,
and by June have fair crop of hay
which, under ordinary condition.,
should pay the expense of preparing
and seeding the land. in alfalfa:
After one or two cuttings it would
then be safe to lease to dairy or stock
farmers, which should give satisfac-
tory returns on the investment.
The objection to renting land for
corn and cotton crops is that it would
be in the same condition at the end
of the year 1921 as it is now. We are
convinced that a large percentage OF
the ground now in corn and cotton
will lie idle for 1921 unless the owner
does something toward putting it in
alfalfa.
If we can be Of any assistance to
you, please feel free to command us.
Very truly yours,
