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.

point near the top of the ridge, and 

 from there an open ditch will run to 

 a point further east and from there 

 the water will be pumped to the top 

 and distributed by pipe line to the 

 high points. Eighteen hundred acres 

 are embraced in this project, 1,500 

 acres being classed as fine agricultural 

 land and 300 acres as part alkali land, 

 this last being the lowland under the 

 old lateral. 



The following have been elected of- 

 ficers for the Pinecroft Irrigation Dis- 



trict: C. H. Chrisman, three-year 

 term; Abe Johnson, two-year term, 

 and J. J. Kelly, one-year term. 



Miscellaneous 



In the case of Henry M. Thornton 

 against Vernon Kingery and others, 

 a suit from Scottsbluff county, Ne- 

 braska, the supreme court holds that 

 the village of Gering, through which 

 an irrigation ditch flows, must furnish 

 him another lateral through which he 

 may obtain water for the purpose of
