SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10 CUP)-
California fruit and nut crops for
1943 were valued at more than a
half billion dollars, the highest on
record, the California Crop Re-
porting Service reports.
BY weight, the crops totaled g.
623,8G0 tons and were sold for about
S530000,000, the service said. The
production by weight was about
three per cent above 1912 produc-
ton and was achieved although
planted acreages increased less
than one per cent.
A higher price level was respon-
sible for setting the new dollar
value record the service said, but
costs Of production rose also.
"The urgent demands from ma
ton at war for more and more
food was admirably met" the serv-
ice said.
