CROP STATISTICS. 



By Geo. P. Weldon, Chief Deputy State Commissioner of Horticulture. 



Last month a table was published giving the percentage of the normal 

 California almond crop shared by each of the main producing counties. 

 This month the table has been enlarged and apples and walnuts are 

 included. The writer solicits the aid of everyone who is in a position 

 to get accurate statistics, in this work. Our efforts so far have revealed 

 the fact that most of the information upon production of our common 

 fruits has been gathered from the last census report, and to get reliable 

 up-to-date figures has been an exceedingly difficult matter. While the 

 information that is contained in this table has been gathered from 

 the most reliable sources that we have, it is with a little hesitancy 

 that it is published, knowing that such figures at best must be more 

 or less inaccurate. If there should happen to be any bad errors it is 

 hoped that they will but point, the way toward getting more reliable 

 data. 



Estimated per cent of the total crop of the following fruits grown In each of the main 

 producing counties of the State, during a season of normal production. 



♦Less than 2 per cent of State's normal crop grown in county.
