DOBS IT PAY! San Diego Sun. The all -important question to be decided in oonneotion with any en terprise, and especially in the case of one that is untried, is: Will it pay? If the solution the result of the lip tiring indicates that profits will accrue, then a seoond question presents itself. It is: How much profit is there iu it? Actnal experi ence ouly ohu determine this. That fair profits results to the intelligent truck-gardener in this section has been well established, and now we have indisputable evi dence that goodly gains, pay; rich bonanzas await the plucky trnoker who can and will go to the expense necessary to secure water for irri gating his laud.

On twelve rows of cauliflower llfty yards long $50 were realized.
