T OO many men pick out a farm where they are; they take what they 
can find there. The right way is to decide beforehand on just the 
things you want in a farm, and then find the one that comes nearest 
to giving you these things. 
You can do that—exactly that—if you visit the Panama-California Exposition at 
San Diego. There are 44,000,000 acres of the best land under the sky waiting for farm¬ 
ers, in the Southwest. It isn’t all one kind of land, either; there’s variety enough for 
every kind of farming known. And you can learn all about this land without moving 
out of your chair, if you choose; the Exposition authorities have gathered 'all the facts 
about every acre of these 44,000,000 acres, and these facts are ready in concise form to 
lay before you. That's the kind of an Exposition this is. 
Here are some things you’ll learn 
4 he cost of the land per acre; the general condition and character of the land; the accessibility 
to water; the kind of crops it will raise best; the cost of labor; the markets, transportation, prices; 
the average expenses for maintaining a family, and of maintaining and running a farm like that; 
these and all other facts, things that you may not even know about the farm you now have, will 
be laid before you at San Diego. 
Not only that. You’ll see all kinds of farm machinery displayed; and if you step out of the 
building, you’ll see this same machinery in actual operation in the field. You’ll see intensive 
farming going on under all sorts of conditions. 
Tomorrow rather than yesterday 
The Panama-California Exposition at San Diego shows, not merely what has been 
done; but what can be done; it’s an Exposition of tomorrow rather than of yesterday. 
Bring your family to San Diego; they’ll get as much pleasure as you will; and as much 
profit. An experience they’ll never forget. The Exposition opens January 1st, 1915, 
and keeps open until December 31st, 1915; a whole year. Come any time that suits 
you, you’ll find things to interest you and give you information that’s worth having, 
any time during the twelve months. 
It s the greatest Exposition for the farmers of the country that the world has ever seen.
