"Forward to the Farm"
Reaping Riches from the Soil
While You Stay on the City Job
There'* Profit in Every Line of Thia Announcement! Read It Carefully!
rjTII'PI.YING the highly efficient, mod-
I/\I ern methyls of the silo, the feed
MflM lot, and the hog house on a colos .i!
scale, W. \V Robinson, largest
wholesale hay and grain dealer on the Pa
cific coast and sole owner of 2,'rfiO acres of
the richest improved farm land in the
famous Kittitas Valley, at Kllensburg, is
going into stockraising and dairying on the
large-.! si ale yet attempted in the North
« est.
Mr. Robin son. himself a practical farmer
of many years' experience 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
He-ire to participate in the profit* of the
soil along assured, absolutely permanent
lines, vet who for various reasons are not
ready to leave their prevent employment
or busines*
• • • •
l'rider the plan adopted by Mr Robinson
the «inall investor ha* the option of own
ing shares in the entire 2/iOO or of
receiving a deed to as many acre* a* his
or her means will allow It is the best and
fairest plan yet proposed for the person
who ha* heart) with longing desire the new
rrv of "Forward to the harm" the hope
ful. optimistic substitute for "Ba«k to the
Soil"
Best of all is the splendid business rec
ord of and financial success of the "man
behind" a man who «tarted 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 business house, and to the
highest federal gjArninent official* as to
hi* busiryss irwiPity itid financial, re
sponsibility.
• • • •
Furthermore. Mr Robinson is carrying
forward this enterprise latgelv as a method
for giving to jteople 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 ha\c a share in
bringing down the cost of li\ing if the
consumer will co-operate in making the soil
produce more abundantly of the world's
necessities.
The greater part of Mr Robinson's land
—approximately 2.000 acres i* already tin
der a high *tate of cultivation, lie having
ikpent upward* of $100,000 in registered live
stock and farm implement*
One hundred and twenty acre*-
are in 4 year-old winter apple
tree*, and the balance in liay
and grain. All of it i* sus
ceptible to highest develop
ment and ideally adapted to
stock raising, dairying, hog
raising, bee culture and horti
culture. the nio»t profitable
branches of agriculture, par
ticularly in Washington. Most
important. too, i* the fact that
there are no stumps to clear,
the relatively small portion of
the land awaiting improvement
being what i* known a* *age
brush soil, almost ready for
the plow
On the magnificent farm
now arc 125' head of horse*, largely reg
istered Percherons, 125 head of cattle,
mostly Holsteim* for the dairy and reg
istered Shorthorns for heef, and something
like 250 head of hogs, 150 of which arc
brood sows. * * * *
Fur tbe purpose of developing tlii* great
property to its utmost capacity, Mr. Rob
inson has incorporated bis holdings under
the title of tlie Kittitas I-and & Live Stock
Company. This company purposes to
stock this great ranch with 500 beef cows,
500 dairy cows, 300 brood sows and enough
big mares, which will raise a colt each year,
to supply the needs of tlie farming opera
tions.
Clans provide for the employment <>f
the best brains procurable in the farming
world scientific farmers, traired ind ex
perienced in modern methods- to head
each branch of the huge farm: a dairying
specialist, a breeding expert, horticultural
expert, marketing specialist, etc. In other
words the Kittitas Land & Live Stock
Company will be operated like a great de
partment store, efficient and competent in
every detail; a high-power m< dcrn busi
ness machine
OUT-OF-TOWN INQUIRIES WILL BE ANSWERED PERSONALLY BY MR. ROBINSON
The company will raise alfalfa, c im for
silage, and some grain all of whi< h will
l»r manufactured or converted on the
ground, citlicr in tlir w.iv of meat*. Imrv
or poultry products, or finished, marketable
produce, {'".very avenue of watte will he
eliminated- all by-products made to yield
a revenue.
This company will rut out the present 55
per icnt waste entailed in local freights,
express charge* and middlemen's profits by
going direct to the consumer where pos
sible, and by shipping in carload lots.
Shareholders will be Riven many special
highly profitable privileges: F.ggs. butter,
honey, by parcel post; live or dressed poul
try, fruits, vegetables, etc 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
• • • •
The company expects to sell the greater
[>er cent of its cattle, hogs and horses for
breeding purposes, l-'.ach year there are
hundreds of thousands of dollar* sent out
of the state for breeding st'»ck on account
of an insufficient number of high-grade
animals being raised in this state
Mr Robinson recently sold from this
great farm a numl>er of registered Sho't
liorn spring calves at weaning time at $150
fier head, and has just made a shipment
of spring pigs to Honolulu that netted $2.1
per head on the farm
An ordinary good crw will pro'u<:; *1(0
per year in butter fat. her calf »: a y'
old will easily bring $50. and the skim mi'*
is worth $25 a year for pig feed. An acre
of ground will easily *upply feed for one
cow the entire year by railing 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 th<*m You will
tpu* see that fifteen head o f pigs can be
raised to maturity on two acres of ground,
and at price* prevailing the h«t few years
they would bring from $200 io ? : 00
Thus, it does not take a mrsthcmntician
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 profit*
• • • «
F.verv 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 ' e the de

welfare of '.lie state at heart to lend some

tion. hut every < iti/en of 11»<- Mate, by keep
ing tlu« vast amount of money at home.
In or<ler to hel|> furnish .sufficient breed
ing stock on this farm we arc offering to
fell a portion of the company'* shares on
terms that will allow anyone who desires
to become interested with us
Remember, in investing with this com
pany you are not putting your money in
stump laud that will t. ke a vast amount
of money ami 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
i ultivation, and with the present number
of cows we should be aide to raise at least
2.')") hogs a year, and we now have a milk
check coming in every month. When we
increase our present dairy herd to S*JO cows
this milk check should amount to at least
$5,000 a month during ten months of the
year, and the increase from 500 beef cows
'hould at the least calculation be $35,000
per year if sold at fifteen months old for
babv 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.fKD 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 c?n
be raised on the land.
• • • •
The land referred to is close to F.llens
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 Kllensburg
within the next year.
Cream meets with a ready sale at any
one of the various creameries in Kllensburg
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 i« fast becom
ing one of the health resorts
of the United States, and
whether one is an office man
or laborer, after returning
from a few days spent in that
invigorating climate you feel
much improved in both body
and mind.
» • * •
In evolving: the plan for
handling his farm land hold
ing*, Mr. Robinson is apply
ing on a broad scale the meth
ods followed in his enormous
hay ami grain business. lie
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 \Y. \Y. 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.
It is this spirit that is going to carry
the Kittitas Land & Live Stock Company
and its 2,(>(X) wonderfully rich and produc
tive acres to splendid success; to give the
state of Washington the model business
farm of the United States.
The opportunity is open to a limited
number of investors to become associates
of Mr. 'Kohinson in this ideal project—to
share in the profits and pleasures of doing
something worth while. The wage earner,
the salaried man, the professional and busi
ness man whose applications are registered
early enough, conic in on exactly the same
terms, according to the extent of their in
dividual means.
An easy payment plan lias hern arranged
so tliat you can figure out how much of
your income you can spare each month.
