This MOUNTAIN OF SALT AT REDWOOD CITY'S DEEP
WATER PORT has become a familiar sight to anyone
traveling in the area on land or by air. It belongs
to the world's largest solar salt plant, located on the
shores of San Francisco Bay. Salt from the sea is pro-
duced in thousands of acres of shallow crystallizing
ponds along the Bay where the winds and the heat of
summer finish the evaporating process. Ships from all
parts of the world are loaded with salt at the rate of
700 tons per hour.
