From the dust jacket:  This book tells how to Select, finance, stock and develop such a place. It points out mistakes to avoid as well as methods that assure success; it emphasizes the importance of good water, sanitation, drainage and irrigation; tells how to enhance crop yields while also improving soil conditions; explains how to treat neglected orchards already on the place, how to start and care for new ones; how to plant berry patches and vineyards and how to avoid losses of nursery stock. It discusses the pros and cons of fruit and vegetable crops, dairy cows, hogs, poultry and bees; presents satisfactory ways of storing perishable products; and suggests settling methods that have proved their worth.
