IS RAISIN DAY N THE
GOLDEN STATE
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW
THEY DO THINGS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

SAN FRANCISCO. April Su.---
California is celebrating Raisin day
today with almost as much eclat as
the Fourth Of July and judging from
the many carloads OF dried grapes
that have been shipped during the
last few weeks the rest OF the country
is entering heartily into the spirit Of
the occasion.
President Taft, the members OF his
Cabinet and every member of Con
gress have been furnished with the
materials for a dainty raisin feast by
the committee having the fete in
charge and scarcely a household in
the state will be without the luscious
fruit on its menu during the day.
| In San Francisco all the large no
tells are featuring raisins on the bill
of fare, the convicts in the state peni-
tentiaries will be treated to as many
as they can eat; the troops at Presi-
dio are being regaled with the deli
caey in several styles; sailors on the
warships anchored in the bay. are
Joining in the general feast, and sew
eral Of the daily newspapers are Civ
ing away raisin sandwiches to their
subscribers. 1t will be great day
for the children, as raisin parties on
a large scale have been organized for
their benefit all over the state. Ever
since the movement was started, sew
erai weeks ago, the bakers and con
fectioners have been originating new
dishes and sweet meats containing
raisins and scores Of new receipts
have been scattered broadcast over
the country.
/ According to members Of the com
mittee of Fresno citizens which has
charge of the movement, the effect oi
the great publicity given raisins Il
the press OF the whole country will
not be felt fully until week from to-
day. The propaganda has popularlz'
,, ed the fruit to astounding degree
One authority estimates that the pei
eapita consumption of dried grapes II
, Europe averages six and a hal
pounds a year, while in this country
it has been not more than half
pound The argument is advance.
that as raisins form one Of the cheap
est and most nutritious of food pro
ducts, their value as such should b.
more generally understood and ap
S preciated in the United States.
Fresno County which until few
years ago was almost a desert, pro
- duces most of the crop in this stai'
!, today, the average yield being abou
e $4,000 tons.
The citizens of the "raisin belt" in
7 augurated the festivities last nigh
