CALIFORNIA CALLS! 



Costs and Arrangements Ck>mplete for L A. A. Tour to American Farm Bureau 



Federation Convention at Pasadena 



X- 



C^ALIFORNIA beckons to Illinois 



f\^ farmers. Plans are complete for 



\l_^ the 18th annual convention of 



the American Farm Bureau Federation, 



December 9-11, in Pasadena. 



An all-expense tour, arranged by the 

 Illinois Agricultural Association will 

 give Farm Bureau members the oppor- 

 tunity to see sunny California at mini- 

 mum cost. At the same time you may 

 attend a national Farm Bureau gathering, 

 meet farm folks from other states, ex- 

 change ideas, see and learn new things. 



The journey has been mapped out 

 to include as much of the west as can 

 be seen consistent with low cost. From 

 St. Paul to the Pacific Coast, the route 

 will be via the Northern Pacific Railway. 

 At Seattle, a big steamship will take 

 you out on the blue waters of Puget 

 Sound. The Pacific Coast down through 

 Washington, Oregon and California will 

 be covered via Southern Pacific. 



Great interest, naturally, centers in 

 California, your destination, scene of the 

 convention, and the home of tall stories 

 about the weather.

 50 years after Columbus discovered

 eastern Atlantic states which now bears 

 the title. 



Scenes connected with the famous 

 gold discovery in 1849, the film colony 

 at Hollywood, wonderful orange groves 

 and orchards, the beautiful ocean off 

 California's golden coast will greet you. 

 Individual sightseeing tours about Los 

 Angeles and Hollj^wood can be organized 

 during the convention. Pasadena is 

 only 12 miles from these cities. 



Don't overlook San Francisco. It is 

 the principal seaport on the Pacific Coast. 

 The city is built upon hills at the north- 

 ern end of a peninsula which extends 

 down the coast and shelters famous 

 San Francisco Bay, a landlocked port 

 into which the largest vessels steam with 

 ease. At the entrance to the bay, at
