More Information On Fruit Distribution 



By E. H. Shepard, Editor 



Distribution of apples in the North- 

 west, showing cities of over 3,000 

 population in Minnesota, Ohio and 

 Louisiana that have not been sold 

 apples from the Northwest in carlots. 

 Exery subscriber of Better Fruit 

 will recall the article appearing in the 

 in the July edition on the "Distribution 

 of the Apple Crop of the Northwest," 

 showing the towns and cities which 

 had been sold apples in carlots direct, 

 giving the percentage of the total num- 

 ber of towns sold in the United States — 

 or, in other words, there are 35,085 

 towns of over 3,000 population, of 

 which 611 have been sold in carlots 

 direct. A list of the towns sold appears 

 in the July edition. Space will not per- 

 mit in Better Fruit the publication of 

 all of the towns not sold in the United 

 States, but as an example we publish a 

 list of the towns not sold of over 3,000 

 in Minnesota, Ohio and Louisiana. In 

 Minnesota there are 34 towns of over 

 3000 population, of which 13 have been 

 sold, 31 not sold; in Ohio 117 towns of 

 over 3,000 population, of which 10 have 

 been sold, 107 unsold; in Louisiana 

 there are 22 towns of over 3,000 popu- 

 lation, of which 4 have been sold and 

 18 not sold. These three states are a 

 fair example of sections — Minnesota 

 being one of the Northwestern States, 

 Ohio a Middle State and Louisiana 

 one of the Southern States. Similar 

 conditions prevail in nearly all of the 

 other states. Comparatively few apples 

 are grown in the State of Minne- 

 sota. Ohio has a large number of man- 

 ufacturing towns, which are very pros- 

 perous. Louisiana is a Southern State, 

 where apples are not grown, most of 

 the fruit being citrus. The large quan- 

 tity of apples consumed in New Orleans 

 shows that people in sections where 

 citrus fruits are produced desire apples 

 just the same. Every one of the South- 

 ern States should be a good market 

 for Northwestern apples if properly 

 worked. The list of towns, as given 

 below, are taken from the Ameri- 

 can Newspaper Annual and Directory,

ments, and in other states the number 

 of cars sold does not include less-than- 

 carload shipments, local distribution 

 and home consumption. However, the 

 figures give an approximate idea of the 

 total number of strawberries produced 

 in each stale. Strawberries are grown 

 in quantity in twenty-eight states in the 

 Union, a little over half. The total 

 quantity of strawberries produced in 

 the United States is approximately 

 13,189 cars. The figures are compiled 

 by the Department of Agriculture, in 

 the Office of Markets, Rural Organiza- 

 tion. About one-half of the states pro- 

 duce more than Oregon and Washing- 

 ton. The statistics in this article were 

 compiled on the 1915 crop:
