Orchard fruits, grapes and nuts: 1909 

 and 1899. The following table presents 

 data with regard to orchard fruits, 

 grapes and nuts. The acreage devoted to 

 these products was not ascertained. In 

 comparing one year with the other the 

 number 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 close- 

 ly comparable, and the product is there- 

 fore compared, although variations may 

 be due largely to temporarily favorable 

 or unfavorable climatic conditions.
