PEACHES: PRODUCTION ESTIMATES, ETC. ob 
southern valleys in the State, those definitely specified being the 
Alexander, Dewey, St. John, Briggs, Belle, Elberta, Late Crawford, 
Wheatland, Krummel, Sylphide, and Saiwey. 
UTAH. 
Distribution.—In Utah the orchard interests are in valleys which, 
in general, are located to the westward and along the course of the 
main range of the Wasatch Mountains, in the north-central part of 
the State. The principal centers of peach production are as follows: 
The extreme eastern part of Box Elder County, about Willard, 
Brigham, Honeyviile, Deweyville, Tremonton, and Corinne; Weber 
County, about Ogden, Roy, and Uinta; Davis County, about Clear- 
field and Woods Cross; Salt Lake County, about Salt Lake City; 
and in Utah County, about Provo, Springville, and Payson. 
Varieties—One estimate places the Elberta at 90 per cent of the 
commercial product of the State. The Early Elberta, Foster, Sellers, 
and a few others are grown in very limited quantities. 
NEVADA. 
In most parts of Nevada the climatic conditions are not suited to 
the culture of peaches, and very littie attempt is made to grow them. 
PACIFIC STATES. 
WASHINGTON. 
Distribution.—The peach districts In Washington are coincident 
with the apple districts, though not all of the latter contain peach 
interests of importance. ‘The most prominent district with reference 
to peaches is the Yakima Valley, in which this fruit is grown at 
numerous points between North Yakima, in Yakima County, and the 
junction of the Yakima and Columbia Rivers, in Benton County; 
at Kennewick, located a few miles below the mouth of the Yakima 
River in Benton County; and at Pasco, directly across the Columbia 
River, in Franklin County. , 
The Wenatchee Valley, centering at Wenatchee in Chelan County, 
is the second most important peach district; the third is the Snake 
River valley, especially that portion included in the southern part of 
Whitman County, where at various points peaches are grown on a 
relatively small commercial basis. This valley is virtually continuous 
with the Lewiston district in Idaho. In the Walla Walla Valley, as 
in certain other districts, peach interests have been developed on a 
 suihiciently large scale to produce some fruit for shipping, but the 
two valleys first mentioned are by far the largest producing districts
