The production of all orchard fruits 

 together in 1909 was 162.1 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 $273,000 in 1899 to $956,000 

 in 1909, and that of grapes from $82,706 

 in 1899 to $88,620 in 1909. It should he 

 noted in this connection that the values 

 for 1899 include the value of more ad- 

 vanced products derived from orchard 



fruits or grapes, such as cider, vinegar, 

 dried fruits and the like, and may there- 

 fore involve some duplication, while the 

 values shown for 1909 relate only to the 

 products 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:

South Dakota 



South Dakota has great extremes of 

 altitude for a country that is generally 

 called a "Plains Country.'' The Big Stone 

 lake, in the northeastern part, is its low- 

 est point, 1,000 feet above the sea. The 

 Black Hills, in the southwestern part, 

 rise to a height of 8,000 feet. There are 



narrow canyons, broad valleys, and high, 

 rolling prairies; there are areas where a 

 stone can scarcely be found within a 

 square mile, and others where the sur- 

 face is almost covered with rocks. 



The average amount of rainfall in the 

 state is 20 inches, ranging from 13.9 at 

 Ashcroft to 26.9 at Aberdeen. The tern-
