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.

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 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 1931 Agricultural Outlook for California This report presents a summary of the present available facts bear ing 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 considera tion 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 bear ing on future prices. It must be recognized, of course, that many conditions may arise that will nullify the most careful estimates. It is believed, however, that the presentation of the more important. Facts bearing upon the future economic conditions will be of benefit to farmers in adjusting their production to market demands. Adjustment of acreage or of breeding plans alone cannot, of course, assure satisfactory profits. Reduction in costs, improvement in quality, and efficiency in marketing are all important considerations. Even in a time of declining prices, some farmers located on land particularly suited to one crop may make more money by growing that crop than by planting another which is on a rising price level but to which the land, climate, or market facilities are ill adapted. Farmers need to consider both the probable future prices as discussed in this circular, and the costs of production on their own farm, or at least in their own locality. Recent cost of production studies, made in cooperation with the farm advisors' offices in various counties, are presented in Agri cultural Extension Circular 24.

Excerpt from The 1937 Agricultural Outlook for California Substantial improvement in the demand for fruit during the next two or three years seems to be more certain in the domestic market than in foreign markets. However, if the fruit industry of this country main tains high export standards, there Should continue to be a profitable outlet for substantial quantities of our fruit in export markets even with somewhat greater competition expected from increasing production of fruits abroad. The volume of United States exports of fruit declined less during the depression than most any other group of agricultural exports. The move toward stabilization of currencies, which has been coupled with lowering of trade barriers in several countries, and the reduction Of duties and other import restrictions secured under the trade-agree ments program are factors which may, in the long run, be favorable to our fruit exports. The Trade Agreement Act of June 12, 1934, has already resulted in valuable concessions on fruit in each of the fourteen agreements Signed to date. All the countries with whom trade agree ments have been Signed have given concessions on canned fruit and all but one on fresh and dried fruit. For the present season, however, the outlook for exports is not as promising as it was before devaluation of currencies began in September. Moreover, the amount of improvement in our fruit-export business that may occur during the next two or three years as a result of modified trade barriers and readjustment of foreign currencies cannot be forecast with any assurance at the present time.
