(Oregon's Bartlett Pear Crop Totals 65,000 Tons ifor Year Oregon's bartlett pear crop to taled about 65,000 tons, a "near record," this season, according to - the agricultural . marketing service of the U.S. department of agriculture. ' The estimate was made last week. The crop was about what was expected on the basis of earlier crop estimates. Above 10-Year Average Washington and California bartlett crops also were close to expectations, with the Pacific Coast crop totaling 500,000 tons... This compares to a crop of 498, 500 tons in 1954, and a 10-year average of 465,700, tons. Prospects for varieties other than bartletts declined a little in , -Oregon', during Septmeber, the service said, with production now estimated at 3,600,000 bushels, a "relatively ' large crop." Sizes are not quite up to expectations in southern Ore gon, it is reported. The Oregon peach crop, esti mated at 13,600 tons, was "about average, but nearly double the 1954 crop of 7,200 tons," the service reported. Filbert Crop Down The filbert crop in Oregon and Washington is estimated 20 per cent less than last year and 10" per cent below average. (In 1954, the Jackson county filbert crop totaled about 1V4 tons, but in 1949 it was more than five tons, according to the 1954 farm census.)
