YOLO COUNTY HAS A COMBINATION OF RAIL AND RIVER TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES RARELY EQUALLED 



BY ANY COMMUNITY 



The average summer temperature of Yolo is seventy-seven and seven- 

 tenths degrees ; the average winter temperature is forty-eight and three- 

 tenths degrees; average mean temperature, sixty-two and eight-tenths 

 degrees. 



It will thus be seen that Yolo is a county of perpetual paradise, where 

 every plant known to floriculture flourishes in riotous profusion throughout

When folk in the East are shoveling real snow the trees are covered with

An oasis in the desert is of little value. It may be a garden spot in 

 which nature works her many miracles, but unless those wonderful crops 

 may be carried quickly to market by fast flying railroad trains they are 

 worthless. Therefore one must consider transportation facilities as of vital 

 importance to any community. 



In this respect Yolo County cannot be beaten. The Southern Pacific 

 Company operates two of its main lines through this county — the trans- 

 continental line over the Sierras to the East and the main line running to 

 Oregon, via the beautiful Shasta Route. Then there are two electric rail- 

 ways now traversing the county, and within a very short time it is expected 

 that two others will operate here. The Southern Pacific also has branch 

 lines in the county. 



Railroads are ever watchful of transportation opportunities. When a 

 community begins to move ahead usually the railroad keeps apace with it. 

 Freight tonnage is not to be overlooked. It must be significant that all new
