Five Crops of Alfalfa in One Season 
the Record of Sacramento 
Valley, California 
Alfalfa, which has made wealthy more farmers in the irrigated 
West than any other known product, is grown to perfection in 
California. Five crops, with the corresponding profits, are not un¬ 
common in this marvelous state. 
. And there is still enough land in California for you, and more is 
being put under water every year. 
When you have made up your mind to sell your farm in the East 
and take the money to buy 40 acres, which will make more money in 
California with not so much work, travel over the
