INTRO DUO TORY
The purpose of this assembly of data is to bring together in convenient
form the aveilable offioi]. agricultural statistics for Orogon to indicate:
1.
Tho approximate rolative economic importance of the various
groups of farm commodities in terms of cash farm incomo.
2.
The long-time trond of production of each of the many commodities
producod.
3.
Tho rolativo average farm price levels for each of the commod.itios at various periods thu-ing the past twenty years.
The farm commodities of commercial ixaporanco in Oregon arc listod
in 32 groups, arranged in dosconding order of imporctuoo as sources of cash
f ann income during the three-year period, 1936 to 1938.
This arrangement is fol-
lowed with rcspcot to oach of tho three tipes of data roforrod to above.
The
tablo of contents on page 1 will assist in locating data portaining to specific
commodities.
No statistics are included for groups 27, 26, 29, 30, 3). and 32
owing to insufficient data.
Sources of Data
Except as otherwise indicated by footnotes, the basic data used
wore official estimates of the United States Department of Lgrioulturo; and
estimntos by the Orogon State College Econsion Service made in cooporation
with the agricultural
arkoting Service of the United States Department of
Lgrioulture, as published in Oregon Extension Circulars 318, 319, 33Li, and
353, whioh were used wholly or partly as basic data for oommodity groups 5, 10,
11, 15, 17, 18, 20, 2]., 22, 2L.,. and 25.
!.s some of the basio data may be re-'
vised from tirr to time, it is necessary to state that the data in this assembly are ubjoct to rovision also. Somo material trends have already beon notod
concerning which official data will bocomo available from time to timo and it
is probable too that sonic additional data will bocomo available on various items
where none has ostcd heretofore.
