taken directly from their books. The Seaboard Air Line and four 

 short lines of railroad failed to give us the data requested, and we 

 were forced to estimate the products shipped in over these short lines 

 in 1913 as the same as that shipped in over them during 1911. Since 

 the Coast line and the Seaboard Air Line traverse pretty much the same 

 territory we felt justified in estimating the shipments over these twa 

 lines as being about equal. This enables us to present fairly reliable 

 data showing the amount of food and feed products shipped into the 

 State over the different lines of railroads during 1913.
