Deer Director Sohoenfeld.:
I have the honor to transmit herewith the first annual
estimates of certain speoialty farm produots produced in Oregon, a.
prepared In 000peration with the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of
the United States Department of Agrioultur., under the provisions of
Chapter 298, Oregon I*we, 1937, end. other authority.
Agriculture, like all great industries, needs aoourate end
complete statistical information for the guidance of production sad
Such data are used by farmers, farm organize..
tione, end by farmers' agents, representatives and spokesmen, in
planning agricultural produ.tion to meet market demands; iii connection with various marketing progrsno involving standardization,
warehousing, credit, advertising and distribution; as a basis for
agricultural legislation; in tariff and trade agreement problems I
marketing operations.
in transportation matters involving facilities and rates; end in
working out euoh vast projects as the agricultural adjustment, land
use, and soil conservation programs.
This bulletin is an important addition to the agricultural
statistics for the State of Oregon. It is particularly desirable
that estimates of Oregon's specialty products should be available
from year to year. It will be observed that the report herewith
shows the data arranged by oo,mties and type of farming districts, a
procedure of mach value which should if possible be extended to our
principal products as well.

This report, which is a summary of information obtained through an
extensive survey in the 36 counties of the state,, presents the first annual
state and county estimates of acreage, production, price and income from
certain specialty farm products grown in Oregon.
Annual estimates of principal crops grown generally in this country
have been made on a state-wide basis for many years by the United States
Department of Agriculture. However, annual county estimates have not been
prepared regularly and data on many specialty products important in this
state have been incomplete or entirely lacking. For instance, the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics estimated the state's cash farm income at
llO,245,OOO* for 1936, but this sum does not include numerous farm pro-
ducts such as vetch seed, field pea seed, Italian rye grass, bent grass,
and other grass seeds, Ladino clover seed, flaxseed, fiber flax, filberts,
peppermint, turkeys, geese, ducks, fur-bearing animals, honey and some
other crop and animal products which are referred to in this report as
specialty crops.
The estimates published herein are based upon information obtained
through personal contact with more than 700 informed persons--growers,
shippers, dealers, manufacturers, federal agricultural statisticians,
county agricultural agents, experiment station staff, state department
of agriculture officials and others in the 36 counties of the state-as well as considerable correspondence and study of historical data.
Indebtedness and appreciation to all who have cooperated and contributed
in any way to make this publication as accurate and complete as possible
is gratefully acAmowledged.
Explanation of Terms
Estimates are expressions of judgment regarding what is true at any
given time based upon partial data, past relationships, calculation,
appraisement and general knowledge of the subject under consideration and
are published subjeCt to revision.
Harvested acreage is estimated acreage from which all or any part
of the crop is harvested.
Farm production relates to the total outturn of the given commodity,
irrespective of use, whether sold, consumed by the farm family or consumed in production of further farm products on the farm where grown.
Average farm price is the weighted average of prices received by
farmers at usual marketing points for quantities sold during a crop year.
Cash farm income is intended to represent the money income of farmers from crop and animal products and is obtained by evaluating, at the
average farm price, quantities produced during a crop year and sold or
held for sale.
Farm value may be obtained by evaluating farm production at the
average farm price and would differ from cash farm income by including
value of quantities used on the farm where produced.
* Includes government payments of $2,815,000.

/ The Bureau of Agricultural Economics' estimates of cash farm income include incomplete estimates
of some of the farm products accounted for in the totals. Hence, all of the state total $11,143,000
should not be regarded as additional accountable income. Footnotes to tables 2 to 6 inclusive, indicate a duplication of $3,945,000 income. It is not possible, however, to state exactly the amount
of additional farm income derived from specialty crop and animal products as the survey data on some
items such as vegetable seeds, popcorn, minor drug crops, ducks, geese, rabbits for meat, milk goats
and their products, honey and some others, are too incomplete to include in the estimates. Furthermore the available estimates of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics are not yet sufficiently itemized to show a complete segregation of 1936 farm income by sources.

1936 total red and alsike clover seed are:
Acres harvested, 24,000;
production, 60,000 bushels; average price, $11.20 a bushel; cash farm

8,400 bushels; average price, $U.00 a bushel; cash farm income, $70,000.
/ See table 24.
JJ The figure $3,137,300 is $2,442,300 greater than the cash farm income from the forage crop seed included in the cash farm income estimates of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Data on vegetable seeds

4/ The Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimated a cash farm income for 1936
of $900,000 for this group of small fruits wxuich does not include strawberries,
cranberries and grapes. The estimates of acreage, production, price and cash
farm income by kinds were prepared as part of this survey. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimated cash farm income from strawberries for market in
1936 at $2,227,000; cranberries, $75,000; and grapes, $50,000.
4/ Bureau of Agricultural Economics' estimates of Oregon's filbert crop for
1936 were: Production, 1,850 tons; price $270 a ton; and farm value, $500,000.
Information obtained in special survey indicated a lie production and price.
An estimate of harvested acreage and casxl farm income which are not included
in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics' estimates were prepared througn the
survey.
/ Tue figure $1,456,800 is $556,800 greater than the amount of cash farm income included for this group in the casn farm income estimates of tue Bureau
