Production.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3d.
"Way out West in the land o. cot
ton" is the way they hope to sing
it in California soon. This State has
moved into the cotton belt.
The California cotton harvest is
just about in, and to the surprise
of even Californians, it appears as
a major crop. The-winter's cotton
harvest will total SIG, SOC, 900. 1t
equals the raisin crop and the prune
crop, and is crawling up to the head
lfners-alfalfa, oranges and grapes.
Cotton now covers 1901 G0 acres in
California, stretching from the Mexi-
can border in the Imperial Valley to
the rice fields of the Sacramento
Valley. 1t has produced what
amounts to a bolm in the lower San
Joaquin Valley, rescuing the valley
from the disaster that came with
the breaking of the raisin market.
San Francisco and Los Angeles
are bidding for the export business,
with this port in the lead. A total
of 10000 bales were shipped this
year as compared to $4,000 last. The
business of ginning is scattered
among fifty gins in the lower end Of
the State.
Two big factories in Los Angeles
and Oakland are now making cloth,
while cottonseed oil mills are operat-
ing in Fresno and Oakland.
