A PROLIFIC YIELD OF GRAIN HAY. THE GRAIN AND HAY CROP IN YOLO AMOUNTS TO MORE THAN 



$3,500,000 ANNUALLY 



the average annual rainfall is eighteen inches. Summer is hot but not 

 oppressive. The atmosphere is dry. At night cooling breezes are wafted 

 up the valley and across the Coast Range from the San Francisco Bay and 

 the Pacific Ocean. It is the unusual climate of Yolo that ripens some of 

 the first fruits shipped from California to the markets of the East. From 

 end to end Yolo County is covered with blossoming trees at a time when 

 the East is covered with snow. 



Yolo County has the added advantage of inexhaustible water supplies — 

 the Sacramento River washing its shores for ninety miles as it rushes on to 

 the sea, Cache and Putah creeks, which race down from the mountains, and 

 diversion canals which are always filled witli water when it is needed for 

 irrigating purposes. In addition to this there is a subterranean supply that 

 may be tapped at comparatively shallow depth, and right at hand is a 

 high-tension electric power line ready to be connected with a motor for 

 pumping purposes. 



With soil, climate, water, transportation, highways, schools — everything 

 that civilization has to offer — in its favor, Yolo County unhesitatingly 

 extends an invitation to all persons to come here on a visit. One who is 

 seeking a home surely will make permanent his stay in this beautiful 

 section of glorious California ! 



A reader anxious to ascertain additional facts about any community or 

 condition will be served promptly and properly if an inquiry be addressed to
