COLORADO LANDS ftStt 



Bayfield, the center of one of Colorado's richest 

 and most fertile irrigated sections, was less than 10 

 years ago a sagebrush wilderness. Today it is a 

 populous and thriving town. I am a practical farm- 

 er, have farmed around Bayfield 12 years; I have 

 some fine irrigated land to sell on easy terms as low 

 as $30 an acre. I will locate you on government 

 land or sell you a rehnquishment. Write me today.

AUSTRALIA BIDS 

 FOR FARMERS 



31 Years to Pay for a 

 Home. Finest of 

 Lands Offered 

 on Most Lib- 

 eral Terms. 



None of the great English speaking sections 

 of the world has done more for the encourage- 

 ment of colonists and settlers than the gov- 

 ernment of Victoria, Australia. 



This government during the past few years 

 has outlined an enormous irrigation plan, 

 which places on the market as fine lands as 

 can be had anywhere. The finest of engineer- 

 ing talent obtainable was secured to bring to 

 a success one of the greatest irrigation prob- 

 lems attempted by a government. Victoria has 

 already spent over $20,000,000 in bringing 

 under water a great area of magnificent farm- 

 ing land. 



These lands are now offered to the bonafide 

 settlers at from $40 to $75 per acre, and al- 

 lowing 31 y 2 years for payment of purchase 

 price. 



On April 3d the steamship Tahiti leaves San 

 Francisco direct for Melbourne, chartered to 

 make this trip especially for those desiring to 

 investigate these land offerings. A particu- 

 larly low one way and round trip steamship 

 rate has been made, with free transportation 

 on all Victorian railways. 



Messrs. Peck-Judah Co., 687 Market street, 

 San Francisco, the American agents of the 

 Victorian Government, will be pleased to send 

 folders, booklets descriptive of the lands, and 

 special pamphlets on wheat and fruit growing, 

 stock raising, etc., free to any one interested.

itors. In some sections the settlers 

 are obliged to go thirty miles for 

 their drug supplies. Alfalfa meal 

 mills, cement block factories, combi- 

 nation millinery and dressmaking, liv- 

 ery stable and veterinary surgeon, 

 harness, implement and hardware 

 stores would be sure to prove profit- 

 able. 



Many of the residence lots contain 

 from one to five acres where bees, 

 truck farming, poultry raising and 

 dairying on a small scale would be 

 remunerative. On some of the proj- 

 ects there are still small farms adja- 

 cent to the townsites which could be 

 operated in connection with a busi- 

 ness in town. 



There never has been a time when 

 so many opportunities existed under 

 as favorable conditions. Schools and 

 churches have been established and 

 modern conveniences have eliminated 

 most of the hardships of pioneer life.
