The return of the 1900 census, likewise, 

 did not secure the number of trees under 

 bearing age. In 1910, however, 1,498,746 

 farms, or 23.6 per cent, of the total, had 65,- 

 792,000 trees not of bearing age, or an aver- 

 age of 44 per farm. 



The present census shows that in 1909 

 there were produced in the United States, 

 147,522,000 bushels of apples, having a total 

 value of $83,231,000. The production at that 

 time was somewhat less than it was ten 

 years previously, when 175,397,000 bushels 

 were gathered. The reports of the 1900 cen- 

 sus give no information as to value of ap- 

 ples. 



Production by Divisions 



Of the nine main geographical divisions 

 into which the census divides the country, 

 the East North Central Division in 1910 and 

 1900 reported the largest number of trees 

 of bearing age, 34,135,000 and 48,493,000, re- 

 spectively. In 1909 a total of 25,081,000 

 bushels of apples were gathered, against 

 47,650,000 bushels in 1899. The value of 

 the crop in 1909 was $14,669,000. 



The division ranking next in the number 

 of trees of bearing age is the West North 

 Central. In 1910 this division had 31,745,-
