l En Route to San Francisco. We
. left Bed Bluff, the county seat of
Tahama county, after an early
breakfast, for an all day drive
through the fertile Sacramento val
ley to San Franclaeo. The' toad we
took ; led 7 Us through ' CorpiPir, 0r
land. Willows, Willlama,T Arbuckle,
Woodland, Davis, Fairfield and Mar
tines, the distance being 1911 mile
from Red Bluff to Seneola hlMt
miles from there to Oakland,' where
we took the ferry for San" Francisco.
It would require a dozen artioles to
describe, even briefly, the incidents of
the day's trip and the character of the
country through whiph we passed. For
hears we traveled ever wonderful roads
through the 8se ramente valley, , with,
fields of alfalfa, grain, olive orchards,
vineyards sad prune orchard along the
way. Here and there windmills dotted
the landscape and the Jon level
stretches with the windmills en the far
fcortson made on think of Holland. Hun
dreds of gasoline engines were at work
pumping up 6 and 1-Inch streams of
water to water the rice field.'- We
passsfl thousands upon thousands of
era f rio. Bom ( It was shock,
ready to ' be threshed, while in many
places It wa sjtlU uncut, atanuln knee
deep In' the water so that the heads of
rtce could fill out.

8alJlnf low ever the rice fields we
Saw an airplane. It seemed to be pa-
trolling- the whole district, and when we
Stepped at an Irrigation plant to get
water tor our engine, we found that our
surmise wag correct ' The rice grower
combine to' pay , an aviator to patrol
their fields,' The duck and wild fowl
are so fond of the rice that he Is em
ployed to sail low - over the fields to
keep the ducks on the move and prevent
their - destroying - the rice crops. We
stopped by an extensive rice field that
had just been cut and I got a good size
bunch of rice. The straw was aoout
tA -feet Ion-, with heavy clusters of
rice en each straw. The rloe runs about
H pounds to the bushel and they harvest
from to 45 sacks of rice to the acre.
The sacks weigh from 96 to 110 pounds,
fair average being about 100 pounds
of rice to the sack. ; The rice, which is a
fine quality, sells at V4 cents a pound.
Four thousand pounds to the acre is con
sidered a fair yield. There were about
177,000 acres in the district through
which we passed, ' '
TTJJUCBTB; AHE HESPE9
f fere and there, between the rice fields,
are: fields vt, stubble -with flocks ef tur
keys. :wi sawiin one field a flock of
at Jeast 1000 turkeys; which were being
herded by a man and a dog, just, as if
tt were a band of sheep.;; -.
Between Arbuckle. and Woodland we
saw large 'numbers of fine dairy: herd,
the Holsteln cow predominating, r Along
the roadway in many places tree have
beep planted, walnut; and Australian
maple, eucaliptl, with tbeirostrich-liks
plume, -palm" tree- and date palms,
oaks, pepper trees, fig and olive, v It
seemed almost that we had been trans
ported to some other country when we
ww the fig ibd olive, the pajm f.and
pine.
We took lunch at Davis, where we
ran across large numbers of Australian
boys. I fell into conversation with
group of these Australian and found
that we had covered much el ths same
country In France, . particularly around
Amiens- on the picaedy front. v. "There
are .70, of 'ua here," ; said one of , the
Australian, "attending theVu'niverstty
farnv - The Australian gevcmmnt 1
sending a conajderabla number of our
chaps.' here to yowr ' country to 'learn
American methods.? ? ;- -,t . -.

' .From Pavja on to Martfnea 'we passed
thwVgh "a country 'or smtin farm, cn
farm , apparently specializing In some-things-poultry
.o -fruit or dairying, We
crossed the bay at Benicia by ferry.' For
the next ts miles;' to Oakland, the road
louowea the bay. tms owe is a beau
tiful drive, ' a ., splendid succession of
beautiful views of the bay, wttn Its
busy shipping, and of the industries
ashore. California believes In making
upe of its liquid highways.
-Harry Child, Max GeodsiU and other
m.mbers of " tha party ware ratly
ebesred while en route from PortlJd to
receive a telegram which advised them
that at the recent meeting of the Ameri
can Bankers' association of St. '. Louis,
the bankers had decided not to send out
the advertising circulars and other mat
ter advising the American pVbllc to
visit Europe. The telegram read in part
s follows;
"It is our earnest desire at all times
to cooperate with hotel manager! and
it seems most desirable that the matter
be further considered In conference be
tween representatives , ef your associa
tion and the Bankers Trust company.
W as agents of the American Banker
association want to make our advertis
ing program eon form te the best inter,
eats of American, hotel people and at
the same time feature the usefulness of
American Bankers association cheques
to the public Will yen of one of the
members of the committee directijr In
terested be H JJew, York In the near
future, prepared to go "ever thla matter
with u with a view t bringing about
the- beat program possible for mutual
interest? In the meantime none ef the
advertising matter relating to European
travel which you feel to be injurious to
your interests will be released. May we
took to you to discontinue your efforts
to have resolutions passed by public
bodies, as we feel. In vew of our att.
tude of cooperation a here expressed,
wa would otherwise br put In a wrong
light until such conference can be held?"
SEE AMERICA FIBST
In speaking of the matter, Mr.-Child'
said: ,7' - ' ' ''. ' ..' '.
: "Europe at present Is In no condition
to take care of tourists. They have not
yet recovered from the shock of war. All
tourists will want to go and see the bat
tlefields: f FAirepe but for the next
year or . two they had better ' see some
thing of their own country. Last year
a large number of Americans for the
first time became aware ef what Ameri
ca has te offer in the way of soento at
tractions and their glowing .reports are
going to cause many more tourists to
come this year to make the tour of the
national park and playground. .-
