Diagram showing the annual farm production of pears (in bushels) in 
the United States for the 9-year period from 1909 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 
production 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 very largely in those 
States which are shown in figure 3 to have an average annual yield
