Acutal photo at Model Fruit Farm
Emmett Idaho (ID), Divided Back unused

Only two years have elapsed since the ranch shown in this picture was in sagebrush. Originally a homestead, the owner, Mr. Hopper, has disposed of a portion of this land at over $300 an acre. He has refused many offers of $25,000 for the remaining portion. Many other instances are scarcely less remarkable in the fruit district of the Emmett Valley.
