Production of Fruit in Oregon 



Small fruits: 1909 and 1899. The following table shows data with regard to 

 small fruits on farms. 



Strawberries are by far the most im- 

 portant of the small fruits raised In Ore- 

 gon, with raspberries and loganberries 

 ranking next. The total acreage of small 

 fruits in 1909 was 5,122 and in 1899, 

 3,470, an increase of 47.6 per cent. The 

 production in 1909 was 9,348,000 quarts, 

 as compared with 6,646,000 quarts in 

 1899, and the value was .^641,000 in 1909, 

 as compared with $387,000 in 1899. 



Orchard fruits, grapes, nuts and tropi- 

 cal fruits: 1909 and 1899. The following 

 table presents data with regard to or- 



chard fruits, grapes, nuts and tropical 

 fruits. The acreage devoted to these 

 products was not ascertained. In com- 

 paring one year with the other the num- 

 ber of trees or vines of bearing age is 

 on the whole a better index of the general 

 changes or tendencies than the quantity 

 of product, but the data for the censuses 

 of 1910 and 1900 are not closely compar- 

 able, and the product is therefore com- 

 pared, although variations may be due 

 largely to temporarily favorable or un- 

 favorable climatic conditions.
