Apple Production and Value by Varieties 



[From the Department of Commercial and Industrial Service, School of Commerce, 

 University of Oregon, May 2, 1916] 



MORE Ben Davis apples were pro- 

 duced last year than any other 

 variety, the estimate being 11,100,000 

 barrels (of three bushels), or 14.5 per 

 cent of the crop. Baldwins ranked 

 second, with 8,312,000 barrels, or 10.9 

 per cent, and Winesap third, with 

 5,545,000 barrels, or 7.3 per cent of the 

 total crop. Of the total crop produced, 

 about 65 per cent was sold, varying by 

 varieties from 77.7 per cent of the crop 

 of Tompkins Kings sold to 42.7 per 

 cent of Limbertwigs, which were sold 

 by producers. 



The variety receiving the highest 

 average f.o.b. harvest price is the 



Mcintosh, being $2.50 per barrel, sec- 

 onded by the Yellow Newtown at $2.40. 

 The variety receiving the lowest price 

 is the Linibertwig, $1.41 per barrel, but 

 closely followed by the Ben Davis at 

 $1.42. These estimates are United 

 States averages, based upon reports 

 from a large number of apple growers 

 and specialists to the Bureau of Crop 

 Estimates. 



About 1<S per cent of the crop was 

 classed as "summer" apples, 25 per cent 

 "fall," and ,57 per cent "winter" apples. 



Estimated averages for the United 

 States for important varieties of apples 

 follow:

 bushels used for cider, 45,000,000 bush- 

 els consumed for human use on farms, 

 except for cider, and 34,000,000 bushels 

 wasted or eaten by live stock. 



The estimate of total production last 

 \ear of 7(i,(i70,000 barrels was obtained 

 by applying to the census figures of 

 production in 1009, an estimated in- 

 crease since then of about 57 per cent. 

 It is not likely, however, that the cen- 

 sus enumeration included all the wasted 

 portion of the crop. 



The value of the portion sold is esti- 

 mated at C9 cents per bushels, indi- 

 cating a total of about $89,000,000; that 

 used for cider, 23 cents per bushel, or 

 a total of $5,000,000; consumed on 

 farms, 53 cents a bushel, or a total of 

 $24,000,000; and that wasted or eaten 

 by live stock, 15 cents per bushel, or a 

 total of $5,000,000.

Nearly 15 per cent of last year's 

 apple production was wasted or eaten 

 by live stock; 19 per cent was con- 

 sumed on farms for human purposes, 

 other than as cider; 10 per cent was 

 used to make cider; and 56 per cent 

 was sold from farm or orchard (ex- 

 cluding that used for cider.) These 

 figures are estimates based upon re- 

 ports from a large list of apple growers 

 and specialists to the Bureau of Crop 

 Estimates. 



If these percentages be applied to the 

 estimated total production of apples 

 last year, 70,070,000 barrels, it would 

 indicate that 43,117,000 barrels, or 129,- 

 000,000 bushels, were sold from farm or
