Recent Car Shipments from the Northwest 



THE following list of towns to which 

 carloads of apples have been shipped 

 from the Northwest is made up from 

 reports of the Fruit Growers' Agency, 

 October 1 to 22 inclusive. The reader 

 should bear in mind that this list does 

 not reperesent the entire number of 

 towns shipped, for the reason that 

 many of the towns are diversion points 

 from which the cars are shipped to a 

 number of other cities, and therefore it 

 cannot be an exact record, but never- 

 theless contains valuable and interest- 

 ing information. One large apple 

 dealer in the Middle West calls particu- 

 lar attention to the fact that Jamestown, 

 South Dakota, is a diversion point, to 

 which his firm has shipped 55 cars of 

 apples, which haVe been diverted from 

 Jamestown to various cities, and that 

 every town in their territory has been 

 sold. We are certainly glad to have this 

 information, for the reason it shows 

 the trade is anxious in serving the 

 Northwest to establish as wide a distri- 

 bution as possible. The editor is also 

 pleased and feels complimented over 

 the fact that dealers, shipping concerns, 

 as well as individuals, have given suffi- 

 cient attention to the series of articles 

 appearing in the past few issues of 

 Better Fruit to write the editor, com- 

 plimenting and criticising him. The 

 editor is glad that the articles are of 

 suffiicent interest to command attention 

 and appreciates the fact Better Fruit 

 is read and its articles criticised as 

 well as complimented. The list con- 

 tains 394 towns, to which 4,217 cars 

 were shipped direct, not including 

 apples going to diversion points for 

 other cities. This list is from October 

 1 to October 22. Last year the list pub- 

 lished in the November edition was 

 from October 1 to October 26, four days 

 more, showing 415 towns shipped to, 

 or 21 towns more than have been 

 shipped in the list for this year, but 

 this year would undoubtedly equal last 

 year on the same number of days. But 

 the reader must take into consideration 

 that the season is very late this year 

 and that shipments to date are about 

 25 per cent less than last year. When 

 these facts are taken into consideration 

 it shows a decided improvement for
