Here's Something New 



about California 



For You 



Two parties of Eastern farmers saw Cal- 

 ifornia under my personal escort last fall. 



It was not a land-selling trip it was 

 solely for investigation. 



We were guests of over forty local com- 

 munities. Their Chambers of Commerce 

 and Boards of Trade provided the auto- 

 mobiles and guides who showed us the agri- 

 cultural activities in their neighborhoods. 



We saw irrigated fruit farms. We saw 

 ' alfalfa making large yields under irrigation. 

 We saw diversified farming with its sure 

 returns paying still better because of irri- 

 gation.
