AS there is a large number of
vineyards to visit on this tour, it
will be very necessary that the party
move along on as near the scheduled
time as possible, and those who can
not spend the entire day on this trip
are invited to join the party at any
one of the places mentioned in the
itinerary This list of vineyards was
made rather larger this year in order
to give the growers an opportunity
to see the entire grape district of
the county, and it was not the in
tention of those who planned this
schedule that very much time would
be given to any particular vineyard.
In order that the ladies of the
Capitol Grange may have some idea
of the amount of food to prepare for
the dinner on the day of the tour, it
has been requested that those who
expect to eat at the Grange Hall
will kindly notify either S. J. Hall
or w. v. Cosden who comprise the
committee on arrangements for this
part of the program.
