This canpilation of pear production and
market data has been prepared especially fran
the viewpoint of the Oregon pear industry and
explains much concerning the quantities, varieties, and grades of pears produced in Oregon
and elsewhere, It also explains much of the
where, when, how, and why of marketing pears.
This bulletin is intended as a summariza-.
tion of existing data that may be of service
to those growers and handlers of pears who wish
to have before them the best available picture
of the state and national situation ithen planning their production and marketing programs.
Certainly, the full value of this material will
not be realized unless the growers and handlers
of pears give studious consideration to the
infonuation contained. It is hoped, however,
that this publication will enable the growers
and handlers to master in a few hours data which
it has taken the authors months to assemble,
and that, despite the 11ii tations of the available data, it may be of service to the industry.

This ci2cular deala with statistics relating to acreage, production and marketof pears. The material deals particularly with the pear industry of Oregon,
Washington, and California, although much nation-wide and world pear data are presented. The information is arranged to give special emphasie to pear statistics
relating to Oregon, since the publication is intended for use an a reference by
ing
Oregon growers and handlers of pears.
The project outline £ allowed in this study was set up at a conference of
Federal and state agencies at Portland, Oregon, on November 10, 1937. In addition
to the Oregon State College Agricultural Experiment Station and Extension Service,
the United States Department of Agriculture was represented at this conference by
the Bureau of Agricultural Econcmics, Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the
Farm Credit Administration. The states of Calif ornia and Washington were represented
by the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of California and the Agricultural Experiment Station of Washington State College.
At this conference a general outline of basic statistical information to be
gathered jointly was prepared. Subsequently the various agencies collaborated in
assembling a large volimie of such data fron which the tables and charts in this circular were oondensed. Source of data footnotes under the tables indicate the inpor..
tent extent of this valuable cooperation, for which the authors, on behalf of the
Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station and Extension Service, wish to express
hearty appreciation.

The general upward trend in pear tree nnebers in Pacific Coast state.
was in sharp contrast to that of the rest of the country until 1935. In
recant years there has been a general upt.rend in bearIng tree. and a doec
United
trend in non-bearing trees. (The nunber of bearing pear trees In the
States reached an all tin. high in 1935, although th. total nunber of trees
and non-bearing trees was the lowe.t since 1910. This is sho,ni in more

Production
(Average 1931-35)
The United States ranks first in pear acreage but second to France
in production. (Approximately 92 per cent of the production in France is
of perry or cider pears, and only 8 per cent of deaert varieties. Cider
pears also form a large share of Geruan production. Although the pear
acreage in Australia, in South Africa and in Argentina appears relatively
asall and these are not shown separately on the chart, production in
these countries, however, is largely of dessert varieties much of ich
enters into orld trade.) See tables 13 and 14 for more detailed inf ornation.

The carlot movement of pears fron the Pacific Coast
in 1937 wee nearly as great as before the depression of
1932-1933, but carlot shipuents of pears Iron states east
of the Rockies were at a relatively low level ccmpared with
the movement Iron 1926 to 1930. At least a paxt of the
decrease in carlot ahiranents can be attributed to icoreasing distribution by truck.

/ Excluding trees 1 year old or less. / These averages do not bear
the sane relation to one another as the data for individual age groups
might indioate due to the difference in age distribution of trees in the
2 counties. Jackson county has a higher proportion of its plantings
in the older age groups than has Hood River oo*mty, according to the
Special Pacific Northwest Fruit and Berry Survey nade in 1935 and 1936.

Auction prices for pears at New York appear to be
affected *

* the index of national incc*ae, and by changes in the supp3 as
*
* reflected by pear production, donestic shipuents and unloads.
*
* It is noteworthy that carlot unloads of pears in the United State&Vr
* have declined sbarpir frcu the 1926-1930 level, while exports have*
* increased greatly. (During the 1926-1930 period the quantity of *
* pears represented by donestic carlot unloads in 66 markets was
*
* approximately eight times as great as the quantity exported,
*
* ithersas in 1937 the ratio was approximately three to one.)

The Argentine pear industry has undergone rapid expansion
*
* during the last decade, but low prices in recent
years
have
die*
* couraged new plantings Production alrea4y excOed$ dumestic
*
* needs, and it is expected to increase further as young trees
* cone into full bearing. The Ature of the industry is dependent **
* on the developaent of export outlets
and more adequate refriger- *
* ati m and storage facilities, according
to an article by Paul 0. *
* Nyhue, American Agricultural Attacne at Buenos
Aixea, Argentina, *
* appearing in the January, 1939 issue of "Foreign Agriculture,"
*
* published by the United States Department of Agriculture.
*
*
*
*
The Williams (Bartlett) variety is now the most important
*
* although acreage of se of the late varieties, notab]y Pease
*
* Crassaune, Aremberg and d'Anjou, is increasing at a more rapid
*
* rate than that of Wi] 1{.i
*
*
*
Dstic consumption in Argentina is
to be near
*
* the limit, s1ririg it probable that furtherbelieved
increase in produotion *
* will be forced into export outlets. Chief countries of export are*
* the United hingdum, Branil, France,
the United States and Sweden. *
* Exports cone 1arge1y during the Northern Hemisphere winter months *
