Fig. 2, — Diagram showing the annual farm production of pears (in bushels) in 

 the United States for the 9-year period from 1009 to 1917, inclusive. The esti- 

 mated farm crop of pears in the United States for 1918 was 10,342,000 bushels ; 

 for 1919 (October estimates), 13,687,000 bushels. The estimates of the com- 

 mercial (in distinction from the farm or agricultural) crop for the past two 

 years are: 1918, 7,589,000 bushels; 1919 (November estimates), 8,422,000 

 bushels. 



Figure 3 shows in a strikingly clear manner the average annual 

 procluction of pears (in bushels, by States) for the 5-year period, 

 1912 to 1916, inclusive. As will appear in considering the distribu- 

 tion of the industry, occasional commercial orchards of more or less 

 importance are found in a large proportion of the States, but those 

 in which the industry is of more than local importance are few in 

 number. The commercial industry is located ver}-^ largely in those 

 States which are shown in figure 3 to have an average annual yield
