Excerpt from The 1930 Agricultural Outlook for California According to the Federal Outlook Report the apple industry of the United States has made a considerable recovery from the disturbed conditions which accompanied the rapid and excessive expansion of commercial plantings in the Northwest and other sections about 20 years ago. The drastic adjustments which followed this period of over-planting have gradually placed the industry on a sounder economic basis. There are still sufficient young trees in commercial orchards, however, to maintain production at a high level for a period of years, and in seasons when weather and other growing conditions are especially favorable production will be so heavy as to be burden some. In 33 of the states which produce over 90 per cent of the United States apple crop, 25 to 30 per cent of the trees in commercial orchards were less than 9 years old at the beginning of 1928, and 65 to 70 per cent were less than 19 years old. In View of this proportion of young trees in commercial orchards together with the general tendencies toward an increased bearing life and an increased productive capacity per tree, owing to improved orchard manage ment and to the larger proportion of orchards on better locations. It seems reasonable to expect a further increase in commercial produc tion for several years. This prospective increase in commercial pro duction, however, will be partially offset by the declining production in family orchards, which contain nearly one-third of the apple trees in the United States.

Excerpt from The 1929 Agricultural Outlook for California This report presents a summary of the present available facts bearing upon the future economic conditions of important farm products in California. If farmers are to avoid losses which result from extreme expansion or contraction, these facts should be given careful consideration when increasing or decreasing acreage of crops or numbers of livestock. The statements herein necessarily represent the state point of View, and, in many instances, must be modified to meet local and individual conditions. No attempt is made to advise individual farmers as to What they should or should not do. This circular attempts to give the available facts and to analyze their probable bearing on future prices. From these, farmers may more intelligently adjust their production to market demands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Excerpt from The 1932 Agricultural Outlook for California The preparation and dissemination of economic information de signed to assist farmers in adjusting their production to market demands is one of the important activities of the United States Department of Agriculture and of the state agricultural colleges. In planning their production and breeding programs farmers must of necessity make some estimate of the probable trend of future prices. Plans based on the best possible estimate of the market outlook at home and abroad for a year or more to come: are indispensable in obtaining higher farm incomes. A summary of the present available facts bearing upon the future economic conditions of important farm products in California is given in this report. It must be recognized, of course, that many conditions, which are not now apparent, may arise before the products are sold which will nullify the most careful estimates.

Excerpt from The 1934 Agricultural Outlook for California: Contribution From the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics Although there was a net decrease of 46 per cent in the total number of apple trees in the United States between 1910 and 1930, only a moderate decline in production occurred. During the past five years, total produc tion averaged only 11 per cent below the 1909 - 1913 level and only 24 per cent below the peak period of production, 1914 - 1918. The smaller decline in production, as compared with tree numbers, is due primarily to the shift that has taken place from farm to commercial orchards with better locations, and to the increasing bearing capacity of many trees as they have approached or reached full-bearing age. During the past twenty years, production of apples in the 11 Pacific Coast and mountain states increased about 195 per cent. At the same time the number of bearing trees increased 10 per cent, and yield per bearing tree increased from an average of bushels to about bushels. In these western states production now is apparently close to its peak for the present cycle. In the Pacific Coast states as a group, only a very small percentage of the trees is yet to come into bearing, but pro duction as a whole is being fairly well maintained by tree resets and by an increase in producing capacity of trees due to an advance in their age. Plantings in the western apple states have been very light in recent years. Commercial orchards in the better districts are generally well cared for, but in the poorer fruit districts neglect has been noticeable. Low prices of apples in eastern markets during the past three years have been reflected by sharp declines in returns to western growers, since transportation charges, which have remained almost constant, have absorbed an increasing proportion of the prices paid by consumers. This has made it difficult for western growers to compete successfully with producers near the large consuming centers.
