A MORTGAGE LIFTER THAT DOES THE WORK 



There are mortgage lifters and mortgage lifters, but there are none 

 that give results quicker in the Yuma Valley than Mr. and Mrs. Hog 

 With an abundance of green alfalfa, plenty of water and no cold 

 Winters to stunt their growth, hogs come to early maturity. They 

 make good weight and sell for top prices. The hog industry has 

 already assumed the proportions of a big business and is growing aa 

 the country under the Yuma Project tills up with new farmers. At 

 the present price of meat there is no industry on the farm which 

 pays better returns for the money and labor put into it. As compared 

 with raising hogs for market in the cold states of Nebraska, Iowa and 

 Kansas, the corn belt states, raising hogs in the Yuma country is a 

 gentleman's game. 



THE POULTRY INDUSTRY IX THE YUMA VALLEY 



The poultry industry in the Yuma Valley offers amazing oppor- 

 tunities to the man or woman with intelligence and a small amount of 

 capital. There is no better place in the whole country for the 

 establishment of a poultry farm than here. Chickens do exceedingly 

 well in the Yuma country. The laying season is long and eggs are 

 always a good price, seldom going below thirty cents per dozen, and 

 often selling for forty, fifty and sixty cents. The local market and the 

 nearby mining camps absorb all of the eggs and chickens now pro- 

 duced here. Plenty of green feed the year around gives the local 

 poultry man a great opportunity. On a very small tract of land, one 

 to five acres, one can raise all of the feed needed to run a large flock 

 of chickens.
