tendencies than the quantity of product, 

 but the data for the censuses of 1910 

 and 1900 are not closely comparable, and 

 the product is therefore compared, al- 

 though variations may be due largely to 

 temporarily favorable or unfavorable cli- 

 matic conditions. 



The total quantity of orchard fruits 

 produced in 1909 was 1,6.'?4,000 busliels, 

 valued at $1,326,000. Peaches and nec- 

 tarines contributed about two-thirds of 

 this quantity, apples, plums and prunes, 

 and pears most of the remainder. The 

 production of grapes in 1909 amounted to 

 760,563 pounds, valued at $44,262, and 

 that of nuts to 866.504 pounds, valued at 

 $90,855. 



The production of all orchard fruits 

 together in 1909 was 167.5 per cent more 

 in quantity than that in 1899, while the 

 production of grapes decreased materi- 

 ally. The value of orchard fruits in- 

 creased from $440,000 in 1899 to $1,326,- 

 000 in 1909, and that of grapes from 

 $.'!9,277 in 1899 to $44,262 in 1909. It 

 should be noted In this connection that 

 the values for 1899 include the value of 

 more advanced products derived from or- 

 chard fruits or grapes, such as cider, vin- 

 egar, dried fruits, and the like, and may 

 involve some duplication, while the 

 values shown for 1909 relate only to the 

 products in their original condition.
