Joseph Seymour acted as master OF
ceremonies at FL Centro At Brawley,
Col. Ed Fletcher and A. P. Johnson,
Jr., told the people all about the good
roads that San Diego is trying to
build. johnson made big hit when
he said Imperial county had agreed
to raise her share of the money needed
for the highway from Imperial to
northern San Diego county.
San Diegans marveled much over
the agricultural wonders of the inland
empire, as they made their way from
city to city. The vast tracts of de-
veloped land and the great heards of
cattle, hogs and sheep were revela-
tion to. many of the excursionlsts,
some of whom had never before
visited the valley. 1t went far be-
yond their expectations. Governor
Stephens expressed amazement over
the wonderful productiveness of the
valley.
Visit Interesting Points
The farm bureau conducted big
excursion to points of interest
throughout the valley, automobiles be-
ing furnished to haul the San Diegans
fran place to place. Among the
places inspected oy the enthusiastic
visitors We're the prize cotton ranch
of John Norton, the grapefruit or

Purcell sheep ranch, the Harold Bell
Wright ranch. the Brooks vineyard
the onion and lettuce fields, the ce
ment stave silos, the largest canta-
loupe fields in the world and many
other interesting places too numerous
to mention.
They joined in voting it the most
successful excursion ever run and de-
clared that the Imperial Valley people
are the best hosts on earth. The gen.
eral committee of the San Diego-Im-
perial Valley highway project held a
meeting and transacted considerable
business w. F. Beal, president.
1t was decided TO go ahead with the
work of raising $150,000 to build a
good dirt road out of the valley at
Kane Springs, across the county line
through San Felipe Narrows and on
