CLIMATE and SOIL
BASIS OF RESOURCES
Secretary Eddy Tells of Won
ders of California in Lecture
TO High School
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STOCKTON, May 31.-"The Re
sources of California" was the subject
which Secretary J. NJ Eddy of the
chamber Of commerce lectured upon
today to the members of the com
merciaI geography class of the local
high school.
Eddy took up the distribution Of
resources stating that the first and
most important resource Of any coun-
try was an alert, vigorous and wide
awake population. He said it did not
matter what the natural resources
might be. if the people were not re-
sourceful little would be accomplished
along the line of development He
gave incidents Of countries with great
natural advantages, but an inactive
population, the result being a lack Of
development.
The speaker told the students that
there were Two basic resourcss-cli-
mate and soil-and enlarged at length
upon these points. He said that act
ing together they permitted an alert
population to secure definite resources.
The soil aided by climate gives the
agricultural products.
Te treated the products by classes,
placing wheat and the other cereals
first in Importance. Potatoes were
next named, not because Of Importance
in value, but because they were a
staple product grown in practically all
countries.
Fruits and vegetables were next
named. The speaker also spoke Of spe-
cial products stating that California
was a land OF splendid products.
Speaking along the line of products
Of the soil he referred to the mineral
wealth Of the state, which he treated
under two branches-the active or de-
veloped and the dormant.
Secretary Eddy declared the most
important mineral to be petroleum,
and showed its relation TO the civiliza-
tion Of today. Continuing along this
line he said that il was a question
whether there should be half the auto
mobiles now in use If il were not for
petroleum, as it was an important fac
tor so far as power was concerned. He
said it was the only cheap fuel IN the
state and made possible the operation
Of numerous industries.
Eddy spoke Of the development of
gold in a superficial way, and of cop
per only in spots when it is found all
along the Sierras, He also referred to
quicksilver, silver, borax and gas as
important resource. The speaker said
that California had a large supply Of
feldspar used in the manufacture of
sanitary pottery, most of this coun-
try's supply being imported from
Europe.
He laid emphasis upon the statement
that the forests were the chief avail
able resource in California. The an
nual income is $4,000. 600. and by
proper conservation could be ever
lasting.
He spoke Of the seaboard as a re-
source, and added that with all the
states resources. if it were not for
markets in the east and the orient
they would avail the people nothing.
The last resource he mentioned was
the mountains as q storehouse for
water supply and a plac where thou
sands go to witness some of the coun-
try's natural beaoties.
