THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION AT CHICO. 



Please, therefore, do not feel disappointed in case immediate results do not 

 follow all the lines of investigative work. Trusting that the above will meet your 

 needs in this connection, I remain, 



Very truly yours, 



P. H. DORSETT, 

 In charge.

EASTERN HOTEL MAN FINDS CALIFORNIA LITERATURE INTERESTING 

 AND INSPIRITING— A LOT OF GOOD KENTUCKY PEOPLE INTER- 

 ESTED IN THIS STATE. 



The California Promotion Committee has received the following letter from Pike 

 Campbell, proprietor of the Fifth-Avenue Hotel, Louisville, Kentucky: 



"I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 31st ult., together with publica- 

 tion FOR CALIFORNIA, and 1 think it is a splendid way to advertise your resources, 

 as you put your advertising in quite an attractive form. If you desire to send these pub- 

 lications to me monthly, I would take great pleasure in placing them before my guests, 

 and I do not doubt but what your method will eventually result in an increase of 

 immigration to California. A great many Kentucky people locate in that country every 

 year, and with your regular and persistent publishing of your present form of adver- 

 tising, I bespeak good results for you. I find your reading matter quite interesting and 

 inspiriting. If you keep the standard of matter up to that of the issue I have just 

 read, you will be sure to create a great deal of confidence throughout the country. 



"Wishing you every success in your undertaking, I remain, 



"Yours truly, 



(Signed.) "PIKE CAMPBELL." 



The Committee has placed its monthly publication FOR CALIFORNIA, and many 

 of its other publications, in the reading rooms of the hotels throughout the United 

 States and on the limited trains. 



A home that does not have plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as home- 

 canned things, falls far short of the ideal.
