The total quantity of orchard fruits 

 produced in 1909 was 4,245,000 bushels, 

 valued at $4,274,000. Apples contributed 

 considerably more than one-half of this 

 quantity; plums and prunes most of the 

 remainder. The production of grapes in 

 1909 amounted to 1,704,005 pounds, val- 

 ued at ?51,412, and that of nuts to 65,441 

 pounds, valued at $3,522. 



The production of all orchard fruits to- 

 gether in 1909 was 259.6 per cent greater 

 than in 1899, and the production of 

 grapes also increased. The value of or- 

 chard fruits increased from $999,000 in 



1899 to $4,274,000 in 1909, and that of 

 grapes from $27,242 in 1899 to $51,412 

 in 1909. It should be noted that the 

 values for 1899 include the value of more 

 advanced products derived from orchard 

 fruits or grapes, such as cider, vinegar, 

 dried fruits and the like, and may in- 

 volve some duplication, while the values 

 shown for 1909 relate only to the prod- 

 ucts in their original condition. 



The following table shows the quanti- 

 ties of the more advanced products man- 

 ufactured by farmers from orchard fruits 

 and grapes. Values were not called for 

 on the schedule.
