THE YOLO COUNTY FARMER S SILO DIFFERS LITTLE FROM THAT OF HIS EASTERN COUSIN 



A Final Word 



Facts have been set down in this booklet, and the Yolo County Board of 

 Trade — an official organization the sole object of which is to bring settlers 

 to the county — stands ready to substantiate every statement contained herein. 



Yolo County needs farmers — persons who know and practice the science 

 of intensive farming. There is room for thousands of them. Any and 

 every section of the county wants settlers, and they will find without excep- 

 tion unparalleled conditions for fruit growing, dairying, alfalfa, nuts, grains, 

 live stock, small berries and fruits, in fact, every kind and character of 

 crop that may be grown in the temperate and sub-tropic zones. 



Yolo County is close to markets having a permanent population of a 

 million and a half persons, a number that is certain to be increased very 

 materially within the next twelvemonth. There never is the slightest fear 

 of over-production of anything grown in California, for the whole world is 

 our market place, especially for citrus and deciduous and dried fruits. 



Yolo County soil cannot be excelled. This has been proved by the 

 selection of Yolo County for the location of the State Farm. This was done 

 in competition with other sections of California. It would be useless to 

 attempt to fix the price of lands in a publication of this character. Prices 

 of available and desirable land vary according to location. But this 

 much is certain : The best land is always high priced. Another thing is 

 certain and that is that almost any acreage in Yolo County, intelligently 

 farmed, will yield a handsome return on the money invested. By inquiry 

 and investigation a prospective purchaser may be guided to a location which 

 will be suited to his purpose. As anywhere else, a person must rely upon 

 his judgment and the best experience of the community. Farming is not a 

 haphazard undertaking. It requires brains to be a successful farmer. 



Yolo County climate is without rival. At no time is it extremely cold 

 and never excessively hot. "Winter" means merely the rainy season, and
