''PaLIFORNIA, here we come!" will 

 ** be a loud and lusty cry through- 

 out Illinois Dec. 1 judging from the 

 widespread interest in the lAA caravan 

 trip to the American Farm Bureau Fed- 

 eration convention in San Francisco, Dec. 

 8-12. 



Reservations for the trains leaving Chi- 

 cago Dec. 1 and returning Dec. 15 are 

 coming in at a satisfactory rate, accord- 

 ing to Roy P. Johnson, lAA director 

 of special services. 



Champaign county, Johnson reports, 

 was first to ask for a block of reserva- 

 tions numbering 35. The widespread in- 

 terest is apparent in requests for reserva- 

 tions from Carbondale, Sycamore, Jersey- 

 ville, Joliet, Edwardsville, Salem, Quincy, 

 Normal, Clare, Sparland and numerous 

 other localities. 



The lAA is making plans for San 

 Francisco hotel accommodations for 500 

 caravan members. Indications are that 

 all the accommodations will soon be 

 spoken for so Farm Bureau folks plan- 

 ning to make the trip are urged to get 

 their reservations as soon as possible. 

 Indiana has already been swamped with 

 more than 1,000 requests for reserva- 

 tions. 



Requests should be made to Roy P. 

 Johnson, Illinois Agricultural Association, 

 608 South Dearborn Street, Chicago 5, 

 111., telling clearly what you wish and 



how many. If you have any questions 

 about the trip you are urged to send them 

 with your letter to avoid last minute 

 misunderstandings. 



The pullman classification "Two in 

 Lower," actually means two persons oc-

cupying one lower berth. 



Members of the lAA caravan are 

 urged to travel as lightly as possible. 

 One or two bags per person is recom- 

 mended. The weather is expected to be 

 mild to warm on the way out and. cool 

 on the return trip. A top coat is rec 

 ommended. 



Because of an adjustment in adding 

 an extra meal, the cost of the trip from 

 any point outside of Chicago will be $1.50 

 more than the prices quoted in last 

 month's issue of the lAA Record. See 

 new prices in table. 



The trip figures around $200 and that 

 includes just about everything — sight- 

 seeing, most meals, and tips. It does 

 not include food and lodging during 

 the convention in San Francisco. 



Further information will be available 

 soon in printed folder form at your coun- 

 ty Farm Bureau office. 



Leaving the I.C. station in Chicago 

 at 2 p.m., Dec. 1, stops will be made 

 at Champaign, Mattoon, Centralia and 

 Carbondale. 



Enroute to San Francisco, tours will 

 be made of New Orleans, the Alamo 

 in Texas, Carlsbad Caverns in New 

 Mexico, the Mexican city of Juarez, 

 Phoenix and Los Angeles. 



Coming back stops will be made at 

 Salt Lake City, Denver, and the Royal 

 Gorge in the Rockies. ,
