This land is the most fertile farm
land in Western America.
Witllout adequate irrigation and with
only 18 inches of rainfall per year the pro
duce from these fertile farm lauds in the
Utah Valley HAS CREATED AND MADE
PROSPEROUS a string of market cities
aggregating a population of more than .
30,000 souls. -
In those few instances where springs
or other ADEQUATE sources of irriga
tion have been accessible to the owners of
farms, the produce from the lands in this
valley has been of A QUALITY NOT SUR
PASSED ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE
WEST; unbelievable in quantity and.tho .
prices PAID FOR THE BEST of our pro
duce have been higher, in open competition
on all markets than the same kind, vari
ety or character ' of produce raised any
where else in the west. :
This valley is only 40 miles from Stilt
Lake City, population 100,000 souls, the me
tropolis of the entire inter-mountain west.
It is within from 10 to 50 miles of a veri
table mineral zone supporting mines, con
centrators, smelters and more than 30,000
men quartered in camps on unproductive,
hillsides. ' Every pound of produce raised
on the 60,000 .ACRES OF FERTILE
FARM LANDS in this valley is sure of an
immediate market.
It is literally true that a man, rising
early in the morning, may pick his crop on
his Utah Valley farm, drive it to any one
of a score of markets with a team of horse3
and have the. money for it in his pocket
before night THIS IS NOT AN EXAG

William M. Roylance, President of the
Provo Commercial Club, owns a 47-acre
orchard planted 90 trees to the acre. There
is not a lower limb upon aqy tree in this
47-acre orchard that, lit this writing, is not
borne to the ground by its weight of fruit.
Not from one but from many trees has
Supt. Humphries picked as many as 14
BOXES OF COMMERCIAL APPLES TO
THE TREE. These apples were worth
$1.10 per box ON THE TREES. Mr. Roy
lance is a business man, LIVING IN THE
CITY OF PROVO. He depends on HIRED
HELP and does not farm this orchard him
self. W 4 F. Garrison, in a nearby city,
picked this year from one cherry tree 1,194
POUNDS OF CHERRIES. These cherries '
were sold on the open jnarket, in open com
petition, AT 8c PER POUND. Mr. Garri
son's trees are planted 40 to the acre. A
total return of something more than $3,000
per acre. Figure it out yourself. Write
to any bank in the city of Provo and men

BE FURNISHED WITH AN AFFIDAVIT
SWORN TO BY THE MAYOR OF THIS
CITY AS TO THE TRUTH OF THIS
, STATEMENT,
v B. E. Alger, formerly living at Red-
, field, South Dakota, purchased 80 acres of -farm
land on Provo Bench. Mr. Alger
planted 30 acres of peach trees; the balance
of it he is devoting to diversified farming.
THE PEACH TREES ARE NOT YET IN
BEARING. Mr. Alger paid something
less than $230 per acre for this 80-acre
farm something less than 10 months ago.
Less than 10 days ago he refused $35,000
for it. You figure HOW MUCH HAS MR.
ALGER MADE PER MONTH THROUGH
