Two years ago, Oregon, Wash ington and California grew one quarter of the apple crop of the country, while the three states had only one-ninth of the acreage. Coast States in Lurk With reports of the serious damage to the apple crop east of the llocky mountains, prospects now are that the three Pacific coast states will raise fully one half of the apple crop this season of the entire United States. Apple production has fallen off In the United States during the past 10 years. In 1909 the apple crop was 145,000,009 bushels, while in 1919 it had fallen to 136,000,000 bushels. During the same period the number of apple trees In the entire country had fallen from 65,000. 000 to 36.000,000. These are the government's figures. During the pamo 10 years there was also a falling f in the number of apple trees planted, taking the country Naan whole. . H- Washington l-eiwU However, this does not apply to the Pacific northwest, which Is rapidly becoming the great apple section of the country, Washing ton ranking as the greatest apple producing state In the union. Blnce 1910 there baa been an In crease In the number of apple hearing trees In the northwest, but tbe planting of new orchards has been slightly curtailed. The following figures of the government give the production of apples In 1909 and 1919. showing bow the Industry has grown here in the northwest while taking the United States as a whole, it has fallen off. The figures are In bushels: 1909 1919 Idaho 650,000 3,645.000 Cslifnrnla.. 4.935.000 7,842,000 Oregon.... 1.3.30,000 6.921.000 Washington 2,672.000 21,568,000 Bearing Trees Decrease In the. number of bearing apple - trees, there was a falling off be tween 1910 and 1920 In the en tire country as an average but the following figures will show, tbe growth of the apple Industry In the west. The figures show the government' report for trees in the four fruit states of the west, comparing 1910 with, 1920: . 1910 1920 Idaho 1,605.000 2.380,000 California.. 2,482,000 3.128,000 Oregon.... 2.029,000 3.315,000 Washington 3.009,000 7.969.000 It will be noted that Oregon Is rapidly becoming one of the great apple producing states. Per 'Capita Consumption Iesn With the radical decrease in ap ple acreage In the country as a whole, between 1909 and 1919. the average pounds for each per son has been growing less and less, notwithstanding the fact that the northwest is -becoming the apple center of the United Slates. According to the government's figures." In 1920 there was grown an average of 120 pounds for each person. According to present crop estimates, there will be oniy &3 pounds to each person from this season's crop. There Is in prospect now hardly half the crop of one year ago. To be exatt. the government on June 10 estimated this year's apple crop at only 42 per cent of a normal crop. Peachen ami Pears Hhort The fruit shortage this year ap plies also to peaches and pears, i Last, year there .was grown 22 pounds of peaches for every per son In the country, while this year , the estimate is for only 16 pounds. The government estimates the pear crop at only 43 per rent nor mal for this season. This means that while last year there was grown 'eight and one-half pounds of pears for every person In the United States, this year there will be only four and one-halt pounds for each. fDOD FOR WOMEN.
