(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10. — The
bulletin of the Twelfth Federal Re
serve Bank made public today, says:
"The Industrial Workers of the
World menace Is Important in certain
sections. Instead of everyone, pro
prietor, clerk and laborer alike feel
ing It a patriotic duty to work a little
| harder and a little longer In order
that we may l^are men for waging
the war to bring peace and safety tc
the world, efforts were made to di
minlsh both hours and output of work
The result is, of course, to hamper the
effectiveness of this country's efforts
which in effect is the same as aiding
to increase the enemy's effectiveness
It appears clear, says the report
that the total of food products of the
twelfth district will substantially ex
ceed that of last year.
in announcing an abundance of food
stuffs generally the report says twe
unfavorable elements were consplcu
oils. Heat and drought in the North
west have considerably curtailed the
yield of grain, wheat and oats crops
being reduced in spite of increased
acreage, to not over 75 per cent ol
last year’s production. The orangt
and lemon crops in California suffered
so greatly from the extraordinary heal
about the middle of June that the gov
ernment report of August 1 gives the
condition of oranges as 45 and lemons
55, compared with a 10 year average
of 87 for each. The effects upon the
citrus fruit of this unusual heat are
not all harmful, however, as it has
.destroyed or reduced some of the cit
rus pests.
California's yield of both oats and
wheat, though only 6,000,000 or 7,000,
000 bushels each, has been in excess
of that of last year. Barley is an iin
lortant California crop, and shows a
large increase, the earlier estimate ol
a crop of 1,000,000 tons having been
more than confirmed. This compares
with about 550,000 tons last year. The
output of beans, of which it is said
that California produces one-third of
all grown in the United States, will
•each 6,480,000 bushels, a 50 per cent
increase over last year.
The corn production in this district
is relatively unimportant. Oregon,
Washington and Idaho show a pros
pect or more than 7.000,000 bushels
which is loo per cent increase over
last year.
Rice acreage in California is rapid
.y Increasing, and this year's product
is expected to be greater than ever,
The yield of potatoes has been gen
erally large.
Reports front Utah and Nevada have
indicated unusual production of ajl
rops.
It is estimated that the yield of
trapes will exceed that of last year
y 10 to 20 per cent, and that the
product of deeidous fruit will reach
a record total in California, although
in the Northwest there will probably
be no increase over last year.
One possibility of a new supply of
meat has been brought to the atten
ion of residents of the Pacific coast
n placing whale meat upon the menus
of leading clubs and hotels. Its flavor
is not unlike that of beefsteak.
Lumber productions in the North
west is now much below normal be
cause of labor conditions.
