Here is a particularly interesting example of 

 how a combination of crops has been made to 

 produce more than a bare competence on a small 

 California farm. This particular farm is located 

 in the Sacramento Vallej T . The owner has made 

 a success of his farm for over 40 years. It consists 

 of but a single acre and in addition to making a 

 comfortable living he has laid aside, on an average, 

 $400.00 a year. Just think of it — a man with a one 

 acre farm with money to loan! 



These figures, which show the amount of space 

 devoted to the various buildings and to different 

 crops, is a good basis upon which to work in 

 planning a small place. 



The barn occupies a space 30 feet by 40 feet, 

 and the rabbitry 25 feet square. The house is 

 30 x 30 feet. There are two wind mills with towers 

 16 feet square. The water tanks are in the towers 

 and hold the water for irrigation. The crops are 

 never allowed to suffer from the lack of water or, 

 in fact, anything necessary for their best 

 development.

 feet to the growing of vegetables. His blackberry
