f Where Farmers Are Making More Money Per Crop Than the Land Costs Per Acre
Tho best placo for any man to ln
vost Is where ho can do the best for
himself and family; a placo where
ho can not only earn a fair interest
on his investment, but where there
is a suro prospect of his land doub
ling in value as tho years go by. The
good land of tho middle northern
states can not bo purchased now at
prices that will not a better return
than 5 to 8 per cent on tho invest
ment, for tho prices of farm lands in
these regions have about reached a
lovol commensurate with their earn
ihg powor. Tho people who have
mado monoy up north aro tho ones
who secured their land when the
nrico was low and who waited long
years for tho country to settle up.
One Crop Has Paid for Land
The wise man knows that he can
not make much monoy by buying
high-priced land in the older settled
communities, and that is tho reason
ho is seeking newer opportunities. He
knows that it is a practical impossi
bility to duplicato tho success of his
lather or grandfather on the Bame
ground. That's why ho Jb seeking
opportunities in newer sections,
where land is bound to ris in value
as tho country is settled. That's
why so many aro coming to buy tho
La Lomita Lands at Mission, In the
Lower Rio Grande Valley of tho Gulf
Coast Country, where many growers
have mado enough money from one
crop to pay for their land.
Conditions Mean Fortunes
The La Lomita Lands at Mission
oner me best opportunity for a hap
py home and the accumulation of
wealth. We do not know of a tract
of land anywhere in the United
States (and wo have seen most of
them) where the conditions are so
favorable for tho farmer, fruit raiser
and truck grower, c: where his labor
and investment promises such rich
returns. We have farmers here who
are making $200 to $500 per acre net
from one season's crop, who are
making enough in cash roturns to pay
good interest even if tho land cost
them from $500 to $1,000 per aero.
Reasons for Rich Returns
With a climate unsurpassed any
where, with: the rich alluvial soil
ranging in depth from 15 to 30 feet
with unlimited irrigation water from
Oranges, Strawberries and Figs of the Gulf Coast Country
the Rio Grande that fertilizes the soil
with every irrigation, and with an
abundance of capable farm labor at
lower wages than anywhere else in
the United States, the La Lomita
Lands bid fair to outrival California
and Florida, in the variety and qual
ity of her products. In truck grow
ing it produces earlier vegetables and
fruits than any other part of the
United States, shipping to northern
markets in January when prices are
highest.
Big Profits in Fruit Growing
In addition to big profits from all
kinds of vegetables there are unlim
ited possibilities for all varieties of
fruits and nuts. Table grapes ripen
two months earlier than in Califor
nia. Strawberries can be shipped
north in January, and have yielded
a profit of over $1,000 per acre. You
have heard about the profits of small
orange groves in California. Oranges
can be raised with great success here,
and it takes but a few years to estab
lish an orchard that will yield 250
boxes of oranges to the acre, and
once started will yield an annual net
income of $500 per acre.
Where can you do "better? When
you have secured one of these farms
you have a property that will repre
sent to you a home in the famous
health-giving Gulf Coast Country,
where you can go at any time, and
where you can make a living and a
big income the first year.

buy a tract of La Lomita Lands at
one-fourth the price present returns
justify. There's an opportunity now
to double and treble your investment
while sharing in the immense profits
made here. Land under less favor
able conditions in other sections of
the United States is now selling for
$500 to $1,000 per acre. Our prop
osition will bear the strictest investi
gation you can make. You can make
a fortune on a small piece of land,
and if you act at once and buy on
the present market, you can buy
cheaply. Delay is costly because val
ues governed by demand are in
creasing rapidly. Write us at once

Refuses $4,500 for 10 Acres of Onions
The first shipment of onions from Mission was made on March 25.
Messrs. Stites and Nicholson have crated 10 acres of onions and their
crop is yielding 300 crates per acre. They declined an offer of $1.50 per
crate f. o. b. Mission $4,500 from 10 acres.
Irrigation is one reason for their success. In the Texas Gulf Coast
Country you do not depend on uncertain rainfall, but there is an inex
haustible supply of water to bo given to the fields just as they need it.
Wouldn't you like to have a small farm at Mission, where success does
not depend on uncertain weather with irregular rainfall?
At Mission we cut alfalfa eight and nine times per year, and raise two
big crops of corn in one year on tho same ground.
