THE VALUE OF YUMA VALLEY LAND 



Land under the Yuma project is largely in private ownership. 

 Unimproved land can be purchased at from $75.00 to $125.00 per acre. 

 Improved land at from $100.00 to $300.00 per acre, according to loca- 

 tion and the value of the improvements. There is very little govern- 

 ment land in any of the valleys under the project and none that is 

 open to entry at this time. As the country develops all of this land 

 is sure to increase in value. Its ultimate value would be hard to 

 forecast. That all lands under the project will double in value 

 within the next five years is a conservative forecast. The individual 

 who buys now is sure to reap a substantial reward. 



COTTON- 



COTTON GROWN ON YUMA VALLEY RANCH 



The agricultural resources of Yuma project lands are inexhaust- 

 ible and the variety of crops which can be grown with profit is very 

 large. Cotton is a staple product and promises great things when 

 the market once more becomes stable and prices normal. Fifty acres 

 of cotton in the Yuma Valley in the season of 1914 produced 74 bales 

 of cotton of an average weight of 500 pounds. Had it not have been 

 for the slump in cotton prices on account of the war this rancher 

 would have secured a net income from his crop of more than fifty 

 dollars to the acre.
