ALFALFA VALLEY

Alfalfa Is King
THE FAMOUS JOHNSON CATTLE RANCH
better known as the place where thousands of whitef aces roamed,
is being subdivided in small tracts to suit the purchaser, and on
practically your own terms. It consists of almost 2000 acreSj
all level, all improved, no stone, plenty of water for irrigation
and domestic purposes, some of the rest seeded to grain. This ,
land, properly seeded to alfalfa and taken care of, will pay for
itself in four years, but you can have 10 or 20 if you-desire. It
is not money wc want, but we do want men with families; want
you to move right on the land and harvest the crop this" season,
which we expect to be a big one. There has been a thousand
dollars' worth of sulphur already put on this land, which will,
-insure a bumper crop for the next three years without anyfur-?
ther fertilising. - " 'V
ALFALFA SEED WILL BE FURNISHED ;
t .
by the First National Bank of Bend, at cost, to the purchaser,'
with easy terms of payment to seed a certain amount of the;. ,
unseeded land. The bank will also furnish scientific instructions" ,
. for .the seeding of the same
: " . I ALSO WISH TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO
THE FACT THAT THERE IS ONE OF THE LARG-. ;
EST OPEN BUNCH GRASS QOUNTRIES TRIBU
'52.TARY TO THIS LAND THAT IS IN THE UNITED , -
" STATES TODAY, WHICH WILL FURNISH WINTER "
RASJGE FOR STOCK. , I
The land is situated 16 miles northeast of Bend, near the
Powell Buttcs, which is considered the most favored locality' for .,
the production of alfalfa in Central Oregon. It is nothing lift-.
common to harvest four tons of alfalfa or clover in one year,
and as a side line a few acres of potatoes, carrots and all other
root crops will do well.
I own an alfalfa ranch near this land, and I want to tell you
right now that the man who gets it will have to pay me $150
per acre, as I am now getting more than 10 per cent, interest
on that amount every year from crops harvested t hereon", and
the land is gradually getting better. I shall be pleased to show
you this big ranch, however, while it lasts, at a price ranging
,"from $75 to -$100 an acre. , mo

REMEMBER!
your experience as a farmer is to be considered by myself above
the amount of cash you have. References as to your honesty
and as a neighbor will also be considered. I expect to colonize
. this tract in 'wch a manner that it will be a credit to Central
"Oregon, as well is to the community and myself. There is a
good school and church nearby; we also expect to organize a
literary society, have, regular correspondents to our home papers
in fact, there jurlll be everything that goes to make the rural
life pleasant, thereby making your children love the farm home
and 'fireside.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED
and want to talk over the proposition, I shall be glad to meet you
at anytime and place in Central Oregon and explain in detail the
most wonderful opportunity you have ever had to proclaim your
"own declaration of independence, making you independent of
boss and landlord. The question is:, "What is this life unless
you own your own home, and what is a home .if it is not self
. supporting?"
In this big farm yowiwill find the key to' this life. It is yours
forthc asking. Will youdo it? Yes, now is thc.timc: first come,
first served. " ' " . '
I thank you. ' ' ' ' '
