California's Golden Crop in Citrus Growth League
The Los Angeles Times notes California's citrus industry now earns about 85 million dollars a year, grown on over 2000 acres of trees's vast spread. It credits two Brazilian orange and lemon importations for the state's thriving, high value farming and tens of thousands of ranching families. The piece contrasts citrus wealth with the fading placer mining lore of Sutter Creek and flags England's growing film city at Walton-on-Thames as a rival industry.
