commodities. The latest industry 1
•nd root in Southern California is t
growing of the* current gra,>c, miu ;
used in preparing the succah
Christmas plum pudding and otr .
delicacies.
For centuries regarded as. n ti
only to Gro-'ce, the Liberty Fair .
ccntly held here has demonstrate ,
that his commodi y can bo grown • *
ccssfully in Californ'a. When ti.
blockade of Greece early in the v.c
nut down on the importation of ti
currant grapes, the Department of
Agriculture sought to stimulate their
culture hero.
Most Americans probably have
thought that the dried grapes used in !
ouddings and cakes arc the dried fruit
of the current bush. In reality, how
ever. the currents of commerce arc
made from these currant grapes.
One ot the outstanding leaturcs >r
the currant grapes’ culture is the me* j
hod adopted to force the setting on of
fruit from the blossoms. While the
vines are in bloom they are “girdled",
two pa raid 1 incisions being made
through the bark around either the
trunks arms or canes of the vines. The
bark between these incisions then is 1
removed.
How this particular variety of
grapes came to be called currant is
explained by the government expert
During the eleventh century, it ap
pears, in the old hcrbals and in the
literature of the fourteenth, fifteen
th, and sixteenth centuries, referenc-1
es to them occurred as “reysyns do
corauntz,” “corauntz”, “corent”, “rev
son^> of Corawnce” and “currans.”
Previous to the war, the United
States annuity imposed over 20.000,
000 pounds of dried currants from
Greece, the equivalent of 50,000 tons
of fresh grapes. The prospetive im
portance of the new industry can ho !
real*zed from these figures.
