raisins in California was i'll 1918

900. and in 1922 450,000,000, and we
are now producing more than one
half Of the raisins of the world.
About four-ffths of this big pro-
duction is consumed in the United
States. Of the 3.000,000,000 pounds
produced in the past decade; l7%o
was exported and the remaining
1870 consumed at home. Even this
big consumption from our own
fields does not fully cover the re-
quirements of our people.
Great Britain is the largest sim
gle buyer of American raisins. our
total exports to that country in
1922 having been 100000 pounds
against only 100000 in 1921. Can
ada ranks next to Great Britain in
the takings of American raisins, in
1922. her total for that year being
100000 pounds. Japan has sud-
denly developed taste for Ameri-
can raisins, exports to that coun-
try in 1922 totaling something over
100000 pounds as against 2,000,-
900 in the preceding year. All the

 Too Much For Guards


 CAMP MCCLELLAN, Ala, July 23.- Company E. Eighth infantry, using Fort Moultrie's star battery of last year, Siviniu5 and Webb, breezed home an easy winner over South Carolinas fast national guard nine here today.
 The guardsmen played steady ball throughout, but the heavy sticks and sensational fielding of the Eighth infantry could not be denied. the final count being II to 0.
 Seltenrich and Dodds starred in the field for the Eighth, while Paul. with a homer and two-bagger. di- vided the batting honors with Grif- fifth, who connected for three sacks with men on; Webb's theft of home also featured.
 Sivinius hurled his usual good brand of ball, allowing but two scratch hits, and was never in danger.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 23.- Special l)-Sumpter Clarke and Stuffy Stewart led the Baronlal hosts in quite the merriest hitting on- sluaght of the year this afternoon, and the Barons defeated the Look outs by a register of 14 to 6. The home athletes punctured Earl White hill frequently, and the southpaw was wild, but six run lead batted in off Wingfield in the first was al- ways in the way and the Barons never gave up trying to make runs. Furthermore, they fielded in desper ate sensational fashion behind the southpaw, as if the score were close, and ran bases like the old thieving team of two years ago.
 Clarke led the attackers with a double, two triples and a home run singles, and a double. Johnny Neun stole home cleanly in the first, with out a tag, and stole second and third in the seventh. Stewart also pur- Joined twice and runs resulted. Drake had a lot of stuff and struck out seven men, but the enemy got to him in the pinches.
 In the seventh, while Neun was hitting and stealing two bags, Quack famed the next three. A Baron Dny Monday.
 It was just Baron day in all de- partments. The home team got 12 hits and were robbed out of half dozen more. The burglares included a shoestring stab by Sumpter Clarke that spoiled double for Clayton on the first local play and a throw by Stump to the plate in the third that shut off a run. Then with two on in the fifth. Brausen made a fast play.
 On Leonard's smash to retire the side and again in the sixth Goe- bel Jagged John Andersons liner his gloved hand. In the seventh, Goebel also went far back for Men gels drive, with two on.

 The Barons got six in the first on a pass to Stewart, Millers double, Robertson's single, scoring one. Clarke's triple scoring two, Goebel's single scoring Clarke. Goebels steal Neun's triple scoring Goebel, and Nouns steal of home. They added one off of Drake in the second on and Miller's one sack smash to cen ter. The Lookouts marked up two in the second on pass to Yockey, Drakes safety to right and John Bates corking double to the fence. Cy Anderson singled but Clarke threw Bates out at the plate.

 Barons Still Scoring.
 In the fifth the Barons grabbed two on Vann's single. Clarke's triple to right and Hartford's out, short to first. They put two more over in the sixth. Brausen got a blow and Stewart doubled along the third base line. Vann caused Cy Anderson to extinguish Brausen with fast play but Clarke's ..dn scored Stewart and Vann scored when Bates booted Goebels poke The Lookouts put over four in the seventh, Clayton, first up, am bled.
