Carrot Acreage in
1910 Largest
In History

Imperial Valleys carrot crop, a
crop which has grown into one of
the county's major agricultural IN
dustries since 1882, marked an
other acreage increase this sea-
son, according to a summary re-
leased Saturday bf the Federal
State market news service.
Nine thousand acres of carrots
were planted this season as COM
pared to $500 acres in 1899 and pro-
duced 100000 crates more than the
last years crop, the service re-
ported
The valley crop was marketed in
competition with Texas crop
which was almost so per cent larg-
er than in 1899.
The first few cars from the valley
were shipped during the last week
of December but ii was not until
late January that the season really
got under way Prices were generally
good for the entire season though
the market slumped midway in the
deal.
Quality of the 1910 crop was again
below normal. Color was generally
satisfactory, but many roots were
rough and miSShapen. Because of
the large acreage, most fields were
harvest as soon as possible in or
der to get them out of the way
before an unmanagable accumula-
ton could develop.

the flrSt lndlcatlOn Dy Ile COInpdIlS1
that the flax fiber extracted from
the Imperial valley product had
been used successfully in the manu-
facture of paper
Under the present setup the COM
pany has so acres in which to store
a supply of straw, has doubled its
capacity in the fiber extracting mill
and has increased its staff of en-
ployeS accordingly.
Only a small percentage of the
1910 flax straw crop remains to be
stored by the corporation, accord
ing to Wade Ramsey, plant man
ager, who declared that this years
flax is the finest quality straw ever
purchased by the corporation.
Clean straw, Ramsey pointed out,
reduces the cost of operation in
the processing of the straw for
shipment TO the paper mill.
Ramsey was reluctant to release
the total amount of flax straw pur-
chased by his company this season,
but announced that on peak day
SO truckloads, weighing more than
one million pounds, was delivered to
the storage yards.
Another indication that the valley
flax straw fibre has passed the test
required for the manufacture OF
paper was the recent visit of two
company officials. President Harry
Straus and his assistant, Arthur
J. Loeb.
Both men made a close study of
the flax situation In the Imperial
Valley and declared they were en-
couraged to authorize the enlarge
ment of the El Centro plant. More
permanent activity in the valley
with subsequent Improvements at
the plant was hinted.
The flax plant in FL Centre is
working two shifts at the present
time in this, the busiest season,
Ramsey said, and is employing a
total of 43 laborers The rush season
ends around Sept. /.
