But one question should precede your purchase, and that is: Where are conditions most favorable for fig production on a commercial scale? The reply is: "AT FAKMINGTON," in the heart of South west Texas. It is directly on the Asherton and Gulf Railroad and but one hundred miles South of SAN ANTONIO, the largest city x Texas "Why '"AT FARMINGTON 1" Because of six things, namely: productive soil; an abundance of pure water ; a climate that is unsurpassed ; excellent transpor tation facilities ; nearness to market ; and, last in order but 'first in importance, the Wiggins System of Sub-Irrigation. What is this system ? Our literature explains. It describes and illustrates the won derfully superior advantages possessed by it over other forms. The system is installed "AT FARMINGTON." In fact, if you were to see how our fig trees thrive about sixteen thousand all told many of them set out as twigs last March yet today strong and healthy trees averaging five to six feet tall ; and then, if you were to have demonstrated the average yield of fruit per tree and its quick disposition at a high price, you would be amazed at such an enterprise's promise of profit. Our literature describes all this ; sets forth what has been done and what is being done now "AT FARMINGTON." It relates what others are doing and indicates WHAT YOU CAN DO. It quotes views expressed by experts ; names the prices of figs, both fresh and preserved, and tells of vast shipments to California, Louisiana and Florida (supposedly competitors) as well as other Southern states. It assures you, furthermore, that in the event you yourself decide not to come to FAUMINGTON to look after of Sub-Irrigation your purchase, The Farmington Preserving Company will lease it for five-year periods yes, and be glad to at a profitable rate to you. In short, our literature will tell you just what YOU YOURSELF MAY EXPECT. Write for it. It will cost you nothing but the time required to read it, and you will find that time well spent. It points the way to an easier living, independence and contentment. WANTED A few young men possessing a good high school education to qualify as Irrigation Engineers This may be YOUR BOY'S chance. Tuition free Here is a rare opportunity for a limited number of worthy young men to come here and receive thorough, practical training and technical instruction in a high-grade, paying pro fession. Write for particulars. First application will receive precedence. ? 7 & V & John L. Wiggins 419 Hicks Building y V John L ' Wiggins, 410 Hlcki Bldir. San Antonio, Tex.
