Plans are being conSummated that
will make the new walnut groves at

Festors. Full care without charge is
TOW assured until 1927. but the
plan is to extend the period - thai

difference between what is practi-
rqlly the cost of the raw land and
the high value of a hearing walnut
grove.
The Fontana Farms company pro-
poses to reimburse itself for the cost
Of cultivating and t'rr9'ating tv
taking Of a bean crop between the
rows Of trees.
For the average buyers the far
more attractive plan is to build a
home and chicken plant on the . 12
on ) acres of young walnuts, and
make q. steady income, paid every
week. from eggs, Keeping the table
supplied with vegetables from the
truck patch.
Sweet potatoes, beans, melons and
other crops grow to perfection in
the easily cultivated soil of Fontana,
and there is always ready market
for all that can he raised.
Over six hundred acres at Fon-
tana have been planted with Pla-
centia walnuts. on both sides Of
the new Arrow Route boulevard,
which is expected TO carry the bulk
of the east and west traffic through
the San Rernardino valley in
short time.
Those who take up their home, in
the Fontana walnut groves and
raise chickens will have ample fer
tilizer for their trees and individual
instruction is to be given in the care
