Impressions of California from an Iowa traveler
A Farmington man recounts a California trip noting vast raisin and fruit groves, high land values, irrigation and marketing challenges, variable fruit profitability, large orange groves, and expensive water. He contrasts California meat and railways with Iowa fare and roads, praising scenery but calling the state over advertised and listing Irrigation bonds and uneven dirt roads as drawbacks.
