A LITTLE LAND 10 2 



AND A LIVING 



Ignorant people, women, cripples, boys, the 

 aged and infirm have proven their ability to sup- 

 port themselves from lots 100 x 150 feet of poor 

 land without hotbeds, greenhouse or any perma- 

 nent improvements. 



Unfortunately in every city the willingness to 

 work far outstrips the opportunities now open. 

 Most of us prefer to keep the land and the peo- 

 ple idle. 



The following is a sample of many letters re- 

 ceived and shows the importance of this oppor- 

 tunity :
