 apples, 10,000 cases of berries and 450 boxes of evaporated fruit. With the 

 trees now growing this amount will be duplicated in three or four years. 



In view of these facts we want larger facilities for shipping and more 

 extended markets. The peachless world is not too large for our surplus fruit, 

 if only we can have access to it.
