Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Federal Marketing Activities and Other Economic Work, Vol. 9: A Review of Current Service, Research and Related Projects Issued Weekly by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics; July 3, 1929-December 25, 1929 In twelve of the last fifteen years the average farm price of apples has been below the general pre-war wholesale price level of all commodities. As a result, millions of apple trees have been removed and others have been neglected. From 1910 to 1925 the number of apple trees in the United States decreased nearly 40 per cent, but production has been practically maintained, according to the apple survey of the Bureau. A marked tendency toward the concentration of commercial apple orchards in the more favorable sections? And a gradual elimination of unprofitable orchards are reported. These tendencies are accompanied by a drift toward the concentration of production in fewer varieties. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
