 portant of the small fruits raised in Wis- 

 consin, with cranberries ranking next 

 and raspberries and loganberries third. 

 The total acreage of small fruits in 1909 

 was 6,305 and in 1899, 12,389, a decrease 

 of 49.1 per cent. The production in 1909 

 was 9,783,000 guarts, as compared with 

 15,459,000 quarts in 1899, and the value 

 $765,000, as compared with $835,000. 



Orchard fruits, grapes and nuts: 1909 

 and 1899. The next table presents data 

 with regard to orchard fruits, grapes and 

 nuts. The acreage devoted to these prod- 

 ucts 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
