not enough.
Then comes the grain harvesting,
just as the fruit season wanes, but
that does not take up many men, for
machinery and header wagons do most
of the work. Last Of all come grape
and hop picking. Up on the vine-cov-
cred hills are the white tents OF the
pickers, laid out with military prec-
sion.
The work begins at dawn and ends
at sunset. Wagons rattle up and
down the avenues, collecting the boxes
that the plckers have filed and car
ried out to the roadway. Every ma
ton and race is represented among
the workers. There are Italians,
Greeks, Frenchmen and Turks, to
whom the work is not new and there
are Kanakas, Norwegians and Firms.

There is more than enough work
waiting for every man in this biz

100000 Of fruit trees and grape vines in
full bearing. There are over 100000
acres IN vineyards alone. and the hop

In an average year over 100000 tons Of
fruit are shipped out of the state. over
10000 tons Of wine, beer and brandy,
and over 100000 tons of vegetables. No
wonder an army of laborers is required
TO pick this vast crop for the markets
OF the entire world. Indeed enough
