PPLYING the highly efficient, mod- feed ern methods of the silo, the lot, and the hog house on a colossal scale, W. W. Robinson, largest wholesale hay and grain dealer on the Pa- cifie coast and sole owner of 2,600 acres of the richest improved farm land in the famous Kittitas Valley, at Ellensburg, is going into stockraising and dairying on the largest scale yet attempted in the North- west Mr. Robinson, himself a practical farmer of many years’ exptrience and a successful business man of large and independent means, will share his vast enterprise with a limited number of the more thrifty wage earners, salaried men, professional and business men of Seattle and the state, who desire to participate in the profits of the soil along assured, absolutely permanent lines, yet who for various reasons are not ready to leave their present employment or business oe ee Under the plan adopted by Mr the small investor has the option of own ing shares in the entire 2,600 acrés, or of receiving a deed to as many acres as his or her means will allow It ts the best and fairest plan yet proposed for the person who has heard with longing desire the new cry of “Forward to the Farm"-—the hope ful, optimistic substitute for “ Back to the Soil.” Rest of all is the splendid business rec- ord of and financial success of the “man behind”—a man who started at the bottom round many years ago, first as a farmer, then by successive upward steps through individual effort to ownership of the largest business of the kind on the coast, and now he can refer to every mercantile agency, every bank and buginess house, and to the highest feral genes officials as to his business i ty dnd fimoncial, re- sponsibility. Furthermore, Mr. Robinson is carrying forward this enterprise largely as a method for giving to people of moderate means as well as to those of larger capital an oppor- tunity for safe, conservative investment with assurance of liberal profits from the great elemental agricultural industries of stockraising and diversified farming, the expansion of which is the crying need of the country. All may have a share in bringing down the cost of living if the consumer will co-operate in making the soil produce more abundantly of the world’s necessitics The greater part of Mr Robinson's land —approximately 2,000 acres-—is already un- der a high state of cultivation, he having spent upwards of $100,000 in registered live stock and farm implements One hundred and twenty acres are in 4-year-old winter apple The company will raise alfalfa, corn for sili and some grain—all of which will be manufactured or converted on the ground, either in the way of meats, Jarry roducts, or finished, marketable very avenue of waste will be all by-products made to yield or poultry produce j eliminated a revenue This company will cut out the present 55 per cent waste entailed in local freights, express charges and middlemen’s profits by ng direct to the consumer where pos- sible, and by shipping in carload lots Shareholders will be given many special highly profitable privileges: Eggs, butter, honey, by parcel post; live or dressed poul- try, fruits, vegetables, ete all at whole sale prices. This one feature alone will mean big dividends on your investment, through reducing the cost of so many daily necessities “eee The company expects t ell the greater per cent of its cattle gs and horses breeding purposes. Each year there hundreds of thousands of d ent out of the state for breeding stock on account of an insufficient number of high-grade animals being raised in this state Mr. Rot m recently sold from this great farm a number of registered Shot horn spring calves at weaning time at $150 per head, and has just made a shipment of spring pigs to Honolulu that netted $23 per head on the farm An ordinary good cow will produce: $100 per year in butter fat, her calf at a old will easily bring $50, and the skim m'« is worth $25 a year for pig feed. An acre of ground will easily supply feed for one cow the entire year by raising alfalfa and corn ensilage An acre of alfalfa, according to govern- ment reports, ‘will pasture fifteen head of shoats, and an acre of wheat will furnish sufficient grain to fatten them. You will thus sce that fifteen head of pigs can be raised to maturity on two acres of ground, and at prices prevailing the last few years year they would bring from $200 io $300 Thus, it does not take a nithematician to see that there are enormous profits in scientific farming. And, as stated at the beginning, if we do not help decrease the high cost of living we certainly can share in some of the profits “* @ Every patriotic citizen of Washington should blush with shame at the fact that we are sending over thirty million dollars a year out of the state, the most of which never returns, for meats, dairy and poultry products while all these supplies can be raised at enormous profits in the irrigated valleys of the state. It should be the de- sire of every business man who has the welfare of the state at heart to lend some assistance to those who wish to get on the A Safe Investment Read It Carefully! land, and not only better his own cond tion, but every citizen of the state, by keep- ing this vast amount of money at home In order to help furnish sufficient breed ing stock on this farm we are offering to shares on sell a portion of the comy terms that will allow any 10 desires to become interested with Remember, in investing with this com pany you are not putting your mo in stump Jand that will take a vast amount of money and time before it will produce you anything, nor in desert land where there are no improvements, but you are becoming interested in an established live stock and dairy business _* As previously stated, there are 120 acres of this land in four-year-old winter apple trees that will shortly be bearing. A large portion of the balance of the land is under cult n, and with the present number we should be able to raise at least s a year, and we now have a milk ming in every month. When we check ck increase our present dairy herd to 500 cows this milk check should amount to at least $5,000 a month during ten months of the year, and the increase from 500 be hould at the least calculation 5; per year if sold at fifteen months old for baby beef, but, as a large per cent of this increase will probably be sold for breeding purposes the returns undoubtedly will be considerably more In addition to this we should sell from $40,000 to $50,000 worth of hogs, to say nothing of the young horses that could be sold each year. Practically all of the hay and grain re- quired for the above amount of stock can be raised on the land see 8 The land referred to is close to Ellens- burg, a large amount of it within one and one-half miles of the city limits and the State Normal College. The farthest of it is about seven miles from town but within three miles of a railroad station. As both the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee pass through Ellensburg our shipping facilities are the best, and freight rates the lowest of any irrigated valley in the state. In addition to these railroad facilities there will be a good automobile and wagon road completed between Seattle and Ellensburg within the next year Cream meets with a ready sale at any one of the various creameries in Ellensburg or there is a big demand for it for ship- ment to Seattle, but the company would probably establish their own creamery or a milk condenser. Beef cattle and hogs command a ready sale either for shipment to the cities of the Sound, Portland, Ha- waiian Islands or Alaska An account of the altitude, the dry weather, sunshiny days, and close prox- imity to the mountains, the Kittitas Valley is fast becom- ing one of the health resorts trees, and the balance in hay of the United States, and f All of it is sus ON E ASY i ERMS whether one is an office man ceptible to highest develop or laborer, after returning ment and ideally adapted to $100.00 SHARES $10 DOWN, $5 A MONTH from a few days spent in that stock raising, dairying, hog $200.00 SHARES $20 DOWN, $10 A MONTH invigorating climate you feel raising, bee culture and horti- culture, the most profitable branches of agriculture, par- ticularly in Washington.

In evolving the plan for handling his farm land hold- ings, Mr. Robinson is apply- ing on a broad scale the meth- followed in his enormous hay and grain business. He believes that an employe who has given faithful service and the best years of his life in helping a business to a suc- cess should share in the profits of that business. The W. W. Robinson Company numbers many men in its employ who were given shares in the company on easy payments, and who now draw handsome dividends as a result of Mr. Robinson’s fairness. 2,800 acres now and fir ods Mr. Rob. ete It is this spirit that is going to carry the Kittitas Land & Live Stock Company and its 2,600 wonderfully rich and produc- tive acres to splendid success; to give the state of Washington the model business farm of the United States.
