THE CALL SENDS
EXCURSION Train

The first free home seekers excur-
sion ever operated out of San Francisco
will be run to Modesto under the
auspices of The San Francisco Call on
Thursday, June 8.
This will be one of the most progress
sive steps ever taken by San Fran
cisco newspaper in the development of
the country lands tributary to San
Francisco. There is every reason to
believe that this excursion will be fol-
lowed by similar ones into other good
farming sections under the auspices of
The Call.
The home seekers will depart by spe-
eiaI train over the Southern Pacific rail-
way. The tickets will be free. They
will be issued by the excursion manager
at the ground floor Office of The Call.

Interesting Facts About

The rapidly increasing sale of farm

that home seekers as q class are com

able and the products Of the farm more
profitable IN this section than else

on a recent visit TO San Francisco, said:
"As 4 pure matter of fact San Fran
cisco is, and always should remain, the
one great gateway to the San Joaquin
valley. This end Of the valley offers by
fully 200 per cent a better field for the
farmer In every way. Nothing but lack
Of publicity in the past has prevented
its more rapid development. 1t is plain
TO be seen that the tide is turning and
that Modesto. with its 100000 acres of
irrigable land, is attracting the home
seekers now as never before.
This is all as it should be- The
quality Of soil is indisputably the best
and the prices are fully one-fourth less
than good land in southern California
All OF our land is irrigable and will re-
ceive abundant water secured for all
time under the Wright irrigation law
at an average cost Of 81 per year per
acre. We can deliver at Modesto. with
out question, more water per acre at a
lower cost than any other Sec
ton in the world. This is broad
\ statement. but we have the facts TO
support it.
Our lands are adapted to any prod
uct requiring mild or warm climatic
conditions. deep. rich soil and regular

the foothill localities. I had occasion
recently to surprise seven residents of
South Pasadena by the remarkable size,
flavor. quality and clearness of our
oranges and lemons. These fruits ripen
and can be placed on the market six to
eight weeks earlier than those of south
ern California. Up to the present time
no case of scale or other disease has
appeared in the trees planted in the
Modesto district. While oranges and
lemons have not as yet been exten-
sively cultivated I look to see that in
dustry become more popular in the fu-
ture, as we have the right conditions in
the right localities to make it very
profitable.
Olive. peach, pear and almond or
chards and walnut groves at Modesto
rank among the best and finest in the
state. We have raised most success
fully peanuts. cantaloupes and sweet
potatoes Broom corn, Egyptian corn
and ear corn all pay well. Some of the
best figs in the market come from the
Modesto district. One of the show trees
Of the country, and probably the largest
hg tree in the United States, is near
Modesto. 1t measures Az feet through
the trunk and bears an immense crop
every year.
-Four years ago Stanislaus county
was seventh in the state, in the dairy
industry. Today it leads its nearest
competitor by 25 per cent. Modesto
creamery butter commands the highest
market price, so rich are the butter fats
that enter into 1t and so great is the
demand for it. The farmers reap the
benefit of this also. for last year the
price of butter fat at the Modesto
creameries averaged 341k cents a
pound, at one time reaching as high as
3SA cents.
There is no other place in California
that the farmer, the dairyman or the
orchardist can operate so successfully
or start so economically as in the Mo-
desto district. And there is no other
place where the value OF the land will
enhance so rapidly. Soil. water, climate
and transportation are all favorable,
and when you say that you say 1t all"

The San Francisco Call is glad to be
enabled to take this active step in the

taken upon itself in calling the atten-
ton of the home seekers Of the world to
the great central farming valleys Of
California
The San Francisco call., 1910-05-28

The Call is prepared to furnish full and
complete information and literature to
all who call. Home seekers will be
permitted to return on regular trains
during the time limit of the excursion,
thus enabling them to spend a number
Of days in the vicinity, fully satisfying g

The freight boats plying up and down

The city Of Modesto is a very modern
one, probably the most modern Of its
class in California. While an old site,
practically all the progress and growth
has come to II within the last four
years. The entire aspect is of newness
and refinement. The streets are broad
and. partaking Of the character Of the
surrounding country, are level and
smooth. There are many public parks
so blocks Of plaza being scattered here
and there throughout the corporate
limits The public buildings are of a
high order, z grammar school recently
completed costing $4,000. It's banks

operation.
The city only reflects the prosperity
Of the country around It The farmers
are prosperous and their dealings with
the stores and banks are large. Many
OF them own automobiles and use them
In their daily business. AS an alfalfa
and dairy country Modesto district pos
sesses all the advantages that appeal
to the home seeker, and being good for
these IL follows that the soil is good for
every general farm purpose The pres
ent price of land, which means land and
water, is 500 per acre and up. There
is cheaper land and higher priced land,
as in every community, but all good
land and all sure water.
This brief outline of the Modesto dis
trict and its advantages show clearly
why 1t is getting its full share now of
the home seekers coming to California.
