Mayer Stock Farm to Be Sold Comprises Over 500 Acres PERRIS. Calif., May 1.— The L. B. Mayer stock farm here, which is up for sale, is one of the worlds finest thoroughbred nurseries and having already served as a vital part in improving the breed in California, it will probably continue to do so for many years to come. The Mayer Farm comprises 504% acres of flat, rich, valley land. It is contained by 23 miles of woven wire fence and has seven wells, insuring a plentiful water supply. Two 36-stall training barns, two eight- stall foaling barns, a six-stall stallion barn, three hay and feed barns and a 12-stall isolation barn are on the property. The huge farm is divided by a state highway, enabling the property to be sold either in one parcel or two farms of 2641* acres and 240 acres, respectively. Buildings, liberally apportioned on each section, include residences and cottages, office buildings, commissary, carpenter, machine and paint shops and tool shed. A one mile training track, considered one of the finest racing strips in the United States, is equipped with a 12-stall electric starting gate. The center field is planted in 35 acres of alfalfa.
