VALUE OF CLIMATE 39 



ica and in the unfolding of North Pacific countries generally, 

 California is to be the source of fresh vegetables during the many 

 months of winter which prevail in those northern latitudes. For 

 this traffic California enjoys not only suitable growing conditions, 

 but has also the advantage of nearness and of transportation by 

 water. No matter how great, then, the eastern movement of winter 

 grown vegetables may become, the northern and northwestern 

 movement, of which California will have a monopoly, will induce 

 additional production to an extent which can not now be foreseen, 

 although the present traffic in those directions is considerable and 

 profitable.
