DECADE SHOWS SLACK
In United States as Whole
Production Only 42 Per

Applo orchard:? in tho northwest j
bear heavier than those in any ap
ple district in the United Slates,
according to information received
by the Oregon Growers' Co-oper
ative association in statistics pre
pared by tho department of agri
culture, bureau of crop estimate:!.
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.
