CENSUS SHOWS FEWER
BEARING APPLE TREES
I A preliminary nUtement of the gen
eral reaulu of the thirteenth census
relative to thi- number of farmi report
in apple tree of bearing aife and those
not yet of bearirg age. together with
the number of trees in each ciasg ai ot
April 1.1, 1910, and giving the number
of bushel of applet produced in 1909
and the value of the crop, haa been
issued by Director Durand, of the bu
reau ot the census, department of com
merce and labor. Comparable data are
given for 1900 wherever possible. The
report wai prepared under the direction
of Le Grand Powers chief statistician,
and John Lee Coulter, expert special
agent, for agriculture. Further analy
sis of the report may result in alight
modifications of the totals here pre
sented before final publication, but it
is not expected that they will affect
materially the figures given herein.
At the census of 1900, taken as of
June 1, there were reported 201.794,000
apple trees of bearing age, as against
151,323,000 trees in 1910 (census taken
as of April 15), a decrease of 50,471,000
trees or 3.1.4 per cent.
In 1910 there were 2,980,398 farms
reporting the growing of apple trees,
4.8 per cent of the total number of
farms in the United States. The av
erage number of trees per farm report
ing is given as 61. No report was re
ceived in 1900 showing the number of
farms reporting.
The returns of the 1900 census, like
wise, did not secure the number of
trees under bearing age. In 1910, how
ever, 1,498,746 farm, or 23.6 per cent
of the total, had ti5, 792,000 trees not
of bearing age, an average of 44 per
farm.
The present census shows that in
1909 there were produced in the United
States 147,522,000 bushels or apples,
having a total value of $83,221,000.
Tne production at that time was some
what less than it was 10 vears previ
ously, when 175,397,000 bushels were
gathered. Thereport of the 1900 cen
sus eives no information as to the
value of apples.
Among the several states, Missouri,
New York and Illinois, together con
tained in 1910. 'almost 25 per cent of all
annle trees of bearing age in the
n ted States.
The number of trees of bearing age
in Missouri at the census of 1910 was
14,3f.O,OO0, this being a decrease since
19IK) of 5.680.000 trees. The production
of apples in 1909 amounted to 9,969,000
bushels, while in 1900 it was b.Wb.uuu
bushc s. a earn or 3.473.000 bushels
The value of the 1909 crop was $4,886,-
000.
New York reported 11,248,000 trees
of bearing age in 1910, against 15,055,-
000 trees in l'JUO. This state alone
produced more apples in 1909 than the
entire east north central aivision, z.v
49.000 bushels valued at $13,343,000.
In 1899, a crop of 24,111,000 bushels
was gathered.
In 1910, there were 9,901,000 trees of
bearing acre in the state or Illinois,
while in 1900 the number was 13,4.50,
000 trees. Over 3,093,000 bushels of
apples were produced in 1909, against
9,178,000 bushels in 1899, a falling off
of over 6.000.000 bushels. The value
of the 1909 cron was $2,112,000.
While, the states of Pennsylvania and
Michigan did not report as large a
number of trees in 1910 as the above
named states, thev each produced a
considerably greater quantity of apples
than Missouri or Illinois.

Apples Lead Fruit Exports
So much is said at one time or an
other with regard to the necessity of
fruit culture that the progress made in
this particular and in other quarters is
lost sight of. Throughout broad areas,
t is true, fruit culture has been la
mentably neglected ; there is a market
almost every year for certain kinds of
fruit away beyond the possibilities ot
supply. Still the constant reiteration
f the fact that fruit culture Is profit
able wherever carried on intelligently
has contributed and is contributing to
ward the annual increase of the acre
age planted. Especialy is this the case
in the southwest, the Pacihc northwest
and in California and Florida.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
fruit and nut business of the United
States will be obtained from the'fact
that the exports of these articles from
this cotintrv have reached a total or
$21.l.r)3,12:t yearly, 'lhe exports of
January of this year were &U per cent
ureater tlmn those for the same month
of 1!11. The increase of annual ex-
iorts of this character in ten years has
iecn nearly 20,0(K).000.
Strange to say. while the United
States is sending away fruit and nuts
to the value of $),(X)U,UUU and over,
annually, it is paying $J4,000,000 for
foreien moducts of the same kind.
and the imports have increased almost
exactly 'the same amount as the ex
ports within a decade. The movement
outward is mainly in apples, canned
fruit, raisins and other dried grapes.
peaches and peanuts. The movement
inward is. of course, mainly in tropical
products, oranges, bananas, lemons,
dates and Hps.
At nresent the annle exuorts ngure
up to J',1,000,000. tins, according to
reports of American consuls and com
mercial agents, could be greatly in
creased. The American anole is I
great favorite throughout Europe, and
so Iohl' as ita once can be kept at
reasonable stage all that this country
has"to offer is auicklv taken. The for
eien fruit trade of the United States
a uuarter of a century ago. was insig
nilicant, comparatively speaking; it is
now rapidly rising toward the dignity
of a principal item, and in this fact
there should be inspiration as well as
encouragement for the American fruit
grower.-Wenatchee World.
