We each want from 30 to 80 acres of land with small improvements and small family orchard. Would like at least half cultivation and prefer rolling too flat nor too one, under, hilly.

We are not particular about being close to town. Anywhere from ten to twenty miles will do, as we will use trucks to do our marketing.

What you buy is cheaper than here, no irrigation ditches to dig, no water to buy, fuel cheaper, land cheaper.

Then why not come there to as the climate is equal to this! That is our idea. Southeast of your city is where would like best as fir as we have learned but we wish all the information we can get throughout the State. "Respectfully, E.
