Why Broadmead in the Next Three Months Will Develop Into the Greatest of Great Intensive Farming Sections Who has not heard of Broadmead, Ladd & Reed's famous farm, situated in Yamhill County, on Dallas and Sheridan branch of the S. P? Broadmead is in the most fertile section of the most fertile valley in West ern Oregon. It is the kind of land that any farmer anywhere in the United States will take his hat off to. IT'S GREAT! Ten acres of the high land or as many of the bottom land is a fine investment for any man for you. Your future may depend upon your investment in BROADMEAD. BROADMEAD ENTERING AN ERA OF DEVELOPMENT. AFFW kCRV An IIRRRTY Dld vou ever tOD to think that Intensive farming; on B, 10 or 20 acres ICilt AUftUiJ AIMJ LilDEin.1 k. ia liberty for the farmer? IT IS! He buys no expensive machinery; he does all the work himself; he has no monthly pay-roll; he is situated in a closely built up community; he is near churches and schools; his neighbors are close by; his market Is good, and easy of aocess; his income is reaular, sure and remarkably big. He's a free man in a free land, with an Income large enough to buy lux uries for his family. Do you want to be that man? THEN SEE BROADMEAD. The wonderful Interest shown and the activltv taken in th RroamMH move ment show that this great section has definitely entered into a new and distinctly great era. Broadmead offered in 6, 10 and 20-acre tracts is a great event in the history of Oregon it is going to stir this state and surrounding states as no other land opening has ever done. Broadmead's success is assured by its wealth of natural resources, brought to-its present high state of development by the investment of thousands of dollars in Improvements. - The soil is uncommonly rich and productive and Is easily cultivated. TALK WITH THE MAN ON THE GROUND. M'Si rii1 him tell you of the productiveness of the soil, the healthful climate, the abundant pure water supply and the money-making opportunities at Broadmead. See for yourself the cheapest land In the state, considering the many natural resources and the immense sums of money that have already been expended in developing the property. v r RBDAnilRAn AS A N INVESTMENT Broadmead from the investor's standpoint is full of opportunity. D&UAUMEiAlJ A3 A LI IlI I ii3 1 1UUL1 1 . The fact that Broadmead Is today producing its full share of the world's wealth is conclusive proof of its future rise In value under intensive systems of farming. Broadmead is a garden spot of fertility, and at from $100- to 200 per acre a ten-acre tract becomes better than a gold bond investment. Nine-tenths of the area of Broadmead Is now under cultivation place your crop In the ground and the harvest leaps forth. There's no stump grubbing, no unnecessary preliminary work before the ground re ceives its crop. On all sides, at the present time, hjgh production Is seen, large plantings of fruit trees, great stretches of clover, magnificent fields of wheat,' rye and oats, orchard upon orchard, acre upon acre, field upon field. From the farmer's standpoint Broadmead has yet to find an equal. It is ah investment that will pay for Itself every year that It Is worked. Many instances might be given of large yields and fancy prices $260 worth of strawberries per acre $250 worth of loganberries from three-fourths of an acre $210 worth of onion sets from three acres 76 bushels of oats per acre, and so on. . These examples are common, and Broadmead stands ready to duplicate and even excel them. From a 10-acre tract a man may expect to get a yield of a one-year crop In sufficient abundance to pay for the land, thus with proper attention two acres of Broadmead set to strawberries may be easily made to return $B00 In clear profit In one year. It is not at all uncommon to produce 10,000 pounds of fruit to the acre. Among the vegetables there Is a remarkably surprising variety, from which the returns are large In one year: potatoes, celery, asparagus, cab bage, turnips, peas, beans, tomatoes, beets, parsnips, radishes, lettuce, green onions, cauliflower and melons, all of these are one-year crops and the immediate returns are heavy and -certain. Potatoes yield as heavily as 6oO bushels to the aore and sell for not less than $1 per 100 pounds. Jn point of quality and abundance of crops Broadmead, challenges the world. BROADMEAD'S WATER SUPPLY IS ABUNDANT. ff S&SWtgTlSZ TnrSena IT ATT DO An PAflTTITIES The Junction of the Dallas and the Sheridan branches of the Southern Pacific namnuaL' inuiliHiun. mark the townaite of Broadmead. The railroad cuts the property In two, thus affording easy access to the markets of Portland, Oregon's metropolis. The projected IttcMinnville branch of the Oregon Electric line to Corvallls runs through the townsite. CONFIDENCE IN BROADMEAD'S FUTURE IS SHOWN BY THE NUMBER OF SUBSTAN TIAL BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS MOVING INTO THE NEW TOWNSITE. J2Siywp ""'t dent and manager of the Oregon Planing Mill Co., of Denver, Oolo., has purchased tract No. 69 at $200 per acre. Jlr. Little will erect a planing mill on lots 6 and 7, in block 7.

Directly adjoining this store a restaurant has been built, and is now fully established and in running order. A lodging-house will bo conducted in connection therewith. Adolph Hoag will Immediately erect and fully equip a barber shop. J. J. Curtis, formerly of Lexington, Kentucky, is now erecting his Broadmead home in the townsite, and it Is hla opinion that Broadmead far outstrips Kentucky's most fertile sections. II: .
