McCOLL, P. M. IS ASKED BY CAUTIOUS INVESTORS SOUND ADVICE YES where genuine merit and right conditions prevail. What enables $1800 per acre land to yield a net annual profit of 20 to 50 per cent ? Fertility, Science, Irrigation With that combination highly specialized lines of in tensive husbandry will yield hundreds of dollars profit per acre. Thu» many make fortunes on $1500 to $2000 land. If $300 land produces same crops, the per cent of profit would be about six times as great and up would go the price especially if it is near the town or city and close to market. My 160 acres. 32 minutes from Lents Junction and 15 blocks from live railroad town, fronts one-half mile on auto road and is mostly irrigable by perennial stream. Soil of great fertility for celery, onions, rhubarb, berries, pears and apples. The ground swells are coming from two directions. Fine view of Mt. Hood.
