They have been com- bined, therefore, into groups differing by 100 feet. The elevation varies from 500 to 1100 feet. The typical or prevailing elevation is between 800 and 900 feet. Over 50 per cent of the orchards are found at elevations from 800 to 1000 feet. TABLE 9. Distribution of Orchards According to Elevation Orchards Elevation (ft.) 500- 600 600- 700 700- 800 800- 900 900-1000 1000-1100. Relation of elevation of orchards to yield and income The irregularities in the figures of Table 10 seem to show that there is no relation between elevation of orchard and yield and income. The four-year average yields per acre for the three groups 700-800 feet 800- 900 feet, 900-1000 feet, which contain a sufficient number of orchards to be of statistical value, are practically the same, 56 barrels per acre. There is slightly more variation in the incomes, which range from $101 to S108. The maximum yield, 78 barrels, and maximum income, $144, are found at the lowest elevation. The next highest values are found at the highest elevation. In both these cases, however, the number of orchards upon which the figures are based is hardly sufficient to give much importance to the results. TABLE 10.
