PAGE 13 What Can 5 Acres AT ALDERWOOD MANOR | Do for Me? We are often asked the question by prospective settlers: “Do I have to raise chickens if I buy a five-acre farm at Al- 9” derwood Manor? Emphatically NO! It is your land to do with as you please and there’s a dozen- and-one things you can raise on this splendid soil at ‘rood profits. BIG PROFITS IN BERRY CULTURE Senator Paulhamus has stated publicly that five acres of cleared land at Alderwood Manor set out to strawberries, will produce $3,000 net per year, and his big company will contract for ten years to take all youcan grow at a fixed minimum price. Loganberries produce 3 to 4 tons to the acre, worth from $200 to $300 per ton. You can easily figure the profits. ‘The big canneries want all Damson plums, pie cherries and Western Washington pears they can get—offer to make ten- year contracts. They are now shipping pie cherries to Puyallup canneries from Colorado, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, in order to meet the demand. Western Washington grows the finest pears for canning purposes on the Pacific coast. The yield is heavy and the profits big. Five acres of cleared land will keep four cows besides producing green feed sufficient for 1,000 hens. Each laying hen will produce $2 net per year and there’s good profit in “pry cream and butter, all of which can be sold right at your oor. Bee culture is profitable and fascinating, usually conduct- ed by the women folks. Fireweed blossoms, of which there are thousands of acres in season all around you, produce the finest-flavored honey in the world. Several “little landers” have already started in the bee business at Alderwood Manor. Many of our people are raising Belgian hares as a profit- able side line. The list of the things you can do on five acres at Alderwood Manor is well-nigh inexhaustible. POULTRY FOR QUICK CASH INCOME But when it comes to quick cash income, you can bank abso- lutely on poultry. Gather your eggs this evening and turn them into spot cash in the morning. The thoroughbred White Leghorn is everlastingly at it— paying for her own feed, supplying your table, making the payments on your land, paying for the home and _ poultry buildings and putting a surplus in the bank for the “rainy day.” Remember this: No matter what you choose to dowith your land, there’s a staff of skilled experts always ready to teach you (free) how to do things the right way. COME OUT SATURDAY OR SUNDAY FREE EDUCATION SECRET OF SUCCESS Free Education is the very foundation of the beautiful Al- derwood Manor plan. It’s your insurance against failure. The wonderful Demonstration Farm, completed and equip- ped with the most modern facilities at a cost exceeding $150,- 000, is dedicated to the upbuilding of the greatest poultry dis- trict and home gardening community in America, if not in the world. Intensive cultivation, that’s the system. Little Farms with Big Profits close to the big market center. The thrifty farmers of France, Holland, Belgium, Italy and other European countries would feel rich beyond their fond- est dreams if they could own a five-acre farm. There’s a Big Income awaiting you at Alderwood Manor. Hundreds of city folks have already made the start out there and are making good in a big way. Many of the greatest successes at Alderwood Manor are among those who started with the least money. They had grit, plus confidence in themselves. MRS. CURRIER ENJOYS BIG INCOME Mrs. Currier started with a few hens a year or so ago. Today she has 1,200 White Leghorns, and there are few women in Seattle that can match her income. H. Otto has 4,000 hens on six acres, a wonderful plant with an enormous net income. M. T. Marston has already achieved Independence and Plen- ty on his little five-acre poultry farm. Business people and salaried people own sightly homesites at Alderwood Manor just for the pleasure of living in the quiet, healthy, wholesome environment of this ideal community.

There’s upwards of a thousand people living in the Alder- wood Manor district now—a remarkable record for two years.
