ALFALFA
Land for Sale

Ayaya IS a staple. Mils is a
Deef5SH,y staple. Butter IS a
0eetssAry staple.
Alfalfa and milk and butter are
so closely related that the need
for one compliments the need
for the other.
To raise. alfalfa economically
there must be deep soil, rich
soil, sufficient water, and a long
growing season. Here is land
suitable for Gotten or any other
field crop.
At Buttonwillow, in Kern
County, we have $4,000 acres
adapted to raising alfalfa. The
soil is very deep, very rich and
fertile; it is underlaid by the
grayel-bed deep down, through
which flows an underground
river, whence comes the mois-
ture in the soil sought by the
tap-roots of alfalfa; while on.
the surface the hot summer sun
aids in the production of six
crops of alfalfa a year.
This whole neighboring district
iscomposed ofdeep alluvial soil,
partly the result of overflow
through the ages; of erosion
from the rocks of the Sierras;
and blended in with the decom-
posing vegetation which grew
lush in this abundantly watered
land in ages gone by. Atpresent
the excellent irrigation water
conditions are inviting you.
Here, then, in the prosperous
neighborhood of Buttonwillow,
IS miles west of Bakersfield,
lies garden of mulch awaiting
the planting Of alfalfa for the
product of its rich food and Of
milk, and of butter, to feed the
constantly increasing popula-
ton in and around Los Angeles.

WELFARE BOARD
STARTS WORK
ON PENSIONS
About 5000 Persons Will Receive
Old-Age Pension Checks
Shortly In State
$4,000 LEVIED BY THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

The Worcester County Welfare
Board. in their wosk in connection
with "Old Age Pensions" has not pro-
crossed much farther than sending
out application blanks to be filled out
by those desiring pensions. AS late
as Wednesday only one had been re-
turned.
Approximately 5000 persons will re-
ceive old-age pension checks within
sixty days, Lee L. Dopkin, head of
the old-age pension division of the
Board of State Aid and Charities, said
this week.
A survey of the State shows there
are about $4,000 persons eligible for
pnsions. While the Statewide ratio
of pension eligibles is six persons to
every 1000. Mr.. Dopkin pointed out,
the ratio will run higher in industrial
areas.
County welfare board to admins
ter the work have been set up in all
counties except one. Application
forms have gone to all counties and
are available. Sixteen counties have
included levies for the pensions, and
some other counties have indicated
payments would De made from their
contingent funds.
The counties already have levied
$168,000 of the 100000 expected to be
needed the first year. The county
welfare departments will make the
pension payments of not more than
$50 per month. The State then will
return two-thirds of the total amount
to the counties. A Federal bill, now
pending, will match the old-age pen
sion money dollar for dollar.
Explaining the operation of the sys-
tenn, Mr.. Dopkin said persons desiring
pensions would make application to
the county welfare department. A rec
ord of the application will be sent to
the pension headquarters in Baltimore,
where it will be checked to prevent
payments to the same person in more
than one county.
After an investigation by county
welfare workers, the case will be re-
checked by the executive secretary of
the county board. If both decisions are
against the payment, the applicant is
privileged to appeal the case to the
pension division of the Board of State
Aid and Charities.
Worcester County has levied $4,000.
Mr.. Dopkin says he believes the sys-
tenn means the eventual elimination of
the poorhouse. "And," he observed,
"it will be cheaper than the poor
house."
