This summer edition of the Rancho Santa Fe News documents economic activity, agricultural production, and regional recreation in Rancho Santa Fe and the San Dieguito area in 1938.

Extensive coverage is devoted to the Del Mar Turf Club, including analysis of purse distributions, race programming, architectural design of the track facilities, and the role of horse racing in regional tourism and community development. Additional reporting addresses irrigation district land sales, infrastructure investment, telephone exchange growth, school construction, residential real estate transactions, and civic improvements at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Course. The issue reflects the interconnected development of agriculture, recreation, real estate, and public utilities shaping Rancho Santa Fe during the late 1930s.Collection
