Agricultural Development 

 The farm products of the several States, and the 

 values of the farm animals therein, in the following 

 table are mainly from the Year Book of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture for 1913, and the 

 figures are for that year, except as noted otherwise 

 in the footnotes: 



VALUES OF VARIOUS FARM CROPS AND OF FARM ANI- 

 MALS IN PACIFIC COAST STATES. 

 (In thousands of dollars, three figures being omitted.) 



> Thousands of tons> California product second only to Colorado. 



* From U. S. Census, 1910. 

 » Second only to Michigan. 



* Greatest state product in United States. 



All the valuations in the preceding table are 

 "farm values:" that is, no increment is attached 

 for transportation or trade handling, and they do 

 not therefore represent the market values which 

 are usually included in statements of this kind. 

 The table shows, however, the classes of farm prod- 

 ucts produced in each of the states and thus serves 

 as an index to the kinds of farming which are 

 chiefly followed and their relative importance, in 

 each State and in the group of States. 



Obviously the limitations of this writing do not 

 admit specific characterizations of the physical 

 features of the States which determine products 

 and determine also their geographical distribution. 

 Condensed descriptions along these lines may be 

 found in volume I of the Cyclopaedia of Ameri- 

 can Agriculture. Published descriptions can also 

 usually be obtained through application to the agri- 

 cultural experiment station in each State, z. e.: 

 Arizona at Tucson; Utah at Logan; Nevada at Reno; 

 Idaho at Moscow; Washington at Pullman; Oregon 

 at Corvallis; and California at Berkeley.
