Agricultural Outlook For California Contribution From The Giannini Foundation Of Agricultural Economics 1931 PDF Download

Excerpt from The 1935 Agricultural Outlook for California: Contribution From the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics During the past five years, 1930 - 1934, the average production of apples in the eleven western states averaged approximately bushels a year. This represents an increased production of bushels, or 92 per cent, over the 1910 - 1919 average. In these states a relatively small percentage of the trees is yet to come into bearing, and a relatively large percentage has reached, or soon will reach, full-bearing capacity Under average growing conditions the trend of production may be slightly downward during the next few years. Apple production in California rose from an average of bushels in the 1910 - 1919 period to an average of bushels in 1930 - 1934, an increase of 61 per cent. The estimated production in 1934 is bushels, of which bushels, or 62 per cent, are classified as commercial crop. Much of this increase in the production of apples in California has been in the production of the Gravenstein variety in the sonoma-napa district. It has been estimated that shipments of Gravensteins from this district averaged boxes in 1921 - 1925, boxes in 1926 1930, and boxes in 1931 - 1933. A further increase in Gravenstein apple production may be expected. In 1932, 13 per cent of the total acreage of apples in Sonoma and Napa counties was nonbearing. Moreover, a large portion of the bearing acreage had not yet reached the age of full bearing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
