C.—American pro- duction of apples has fallen away rather heavily in the 1909-1919 decade. The Pacific states have shown great | increases, but not enough to keep up the national standard, according to a bulletin released by the census bureau. | Apple production in the nation fell from 145,000,000 bushels in 1909 to 36,000,000 bushels In 1919, while the | apple trees of bearing age dropped in period from 151,000,000 to the same 115,000,000. | | The bulletin revealed that Washing ton had become easily the premier apple state of the union, having a 50 per cent margin over New York and a | three-to-one margin over California. In going over the totals by divi- ; sions, it is found that Oregon, Wash- | ington and California have more than one-quarter of the total apple yield of the nation in 1919, but only have | about one-ninth of the acreage in bearing. This proves that the coast | states trees are the heaviest pro- ducers. | |WILSON ATTENDS COURT Ex-President is Admitted to the | Practice of Law.
