The size  of California agricultural products is due to this: a
galvanic current runs  from the North Pole to South Pole - hence the
compass. This current mostly  runs through the oceans until it reaches
California, where for the first  time it runs across the land. This
current achieves full force in  Napa.
Our pumpkins grow to such a size that it is customary to place a  small
pig inside. As he eats, he grows, until he attains his full  size
inside the pumpkin.
The growth of these pumpkins is necessarily  very rapid. On rough
ground it is necessary to place wheels or rollers  beneath the pumpkins
to prevent their being worn out. You see, the vines  grow so fast that
they drag the pumpkins about."
