will make you independent. 



The ambitious man or woman who 

 wishes a home, friends, a comfortable living, 

 and money in the banks to insure against 

 future want, will find them in the San 

 Joaquin Valley. 



Here are 10,000,000 fertile acres, with 

 an abundance of water for irrigation coming 

 from the ever present snows of the High 

 Sierras. The clear, warm California sun- 

 shine compels a sturdy, healthy plant 

 growth. Every staple crop is profitable here. 

 Nature is on your side. All that you need 

 is reasonable industry and success is certain. 



The man of small capital can get quick 

 returns from vegetables, alfalfa, hog.-,, 

 dairying and poultry, while the orchard and 

 vineyard is coming into bearing. 



Let me send you a 72-page book, telling 

 in plain language what others are doing. 

 For instance, it tells of Mr. S. W. Williams, 

 Tulare, Cal., who last year sold $3,000 

 worth of milk from 30 cows; of Mr. C. S. 

 Baxter, Merced, Cal., who sold $7,200 

 worth of milk from 60 cows and got $1,200 

 for his surplus alfalfa. 



Go to California this Fall ; low rates every 

 day. Santa Fe has daily Tourist sleepers 

 in which the berth rate is only one-half of 

 the regular Pullman rate. 



Write for the 72-page hook today. Just 

 say on a postal, "Send San Joaquin Valley 

 Book." If you ask for it, I also will sentl 

 you our Journal, The Earth, free for six 

 months.
