The same tning as a watch, only bigger. 'And it's mighty big. River Farms is the Ford factory among farms. Not a show place there isn't, a fancy house or a needless bit of dec ortaion on it. For several years past, its gross income has exceeded $1,000,000 a year from products grown and sold.

You stand on a warehouse roof and look down on a single peach orchard with straight rows two and a half miles long, and it makes you dizzy.

Instead of one warehouse; there are a half dozen huge ones, right on the riverbank, each with its wharf where the barges can tie and load.

Yet it's all one farm, and Robert H. Geer runs it. He is the manager of it all. A young man, too; came to River; Farms 14 years ago as a swobber on a ditch digging machine. Rose four years later to be the farm manager.

Dr. E. L. Dow of San Francisco is president and manager of the corpor ation; the directors include H. C.

Morris, James McCandless, Charles Sutro. J. F. Humburg, Hiram W. Johnson and HarryA.

Kunz as secretary. This is a San Francisco enterprise. Five million dollars in net profits has been earned by River Farms in the last ten years, according to Dr. Dow. Every cent of that has been put back into the farm for planting orchards, extending the irrigation system, installing machinery, buying equipment, getting everything in proportion.

Development is about through now; 324 acres of young prunes yielded 1000 tons of drided prunes this year; and the first dried peaches went down to the Winters packing plant. Next year, the orchard yields will be heavier and the pears will start coming in Also the profits; for building time is just about over. "Bob" Geer can tell you, to a fraction of a cent, how much it costs to grow a pear tree, a carload of shoats or an acre of cotton. Keeping down costs, while getting production, is his job. His cost finding system with each division of produce on a separate basis, and each paying its pro rata of the general "overhead" is certainly among the largest compilations of farm cost figures in the world, and is a big contribution to agricultural data.
