Remarks — The New York peach 

 crop for the year 1915 was 5000 cars, 

 with actual destination obtained for 

 4419 cars. The statistics show that 

 4419 cars were distributed in 339 

 cities. If the Northwest apple crop 

 susceptible to as wide a distribution in 

 carlots for the reason that many towns 

 are too small to consume a carload of 

 peaches in a limited time before they 

 would spoil, whereas a carload of ap- 

 ples would keep sufficiently long to 

 afford every small city a much longer 

 period for consumption, which is suf- 

 ficient evidence in itself to show that 

 apples can be sold in carlots to much 

 smaller cities than peaches. Particu- 

 lar attention is called to the fact that 

 231 cities, evidently small ones, ap- 

 pear in the distribution taking from 

 one to three cars each. It must be 

 borne in mind in connection with this 

 article that the peach crop of New 

 York is only one of many of the large 

 districts producing peaches exten- 

 sively. It would seem if the Fruit 

 Growers Agency would collect data in 

 was distributed equally as well in pro- 

 portion to quantity the distribution 

 would cover 1695 cities. However, in 

 making this statement it must be noted 

 that peaches are far more perishable 

 than apples, and consequently not so 

 reference to the shipment of apples 

 from the Northwest during the com- 

 ing season they could present some 

 very valuable information on distri- 

 bution for future years. In as much 

 as the work on the distribution of the 

 peach crop was largely done by the 

 Experiment Station of New York it 

 would seem that the Experiment Sta- 

 tions of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, 

 Montana and other states could do 

 some similar work on the apple ship- 

 ments of the 1917 crop, and by proper 

 analysis of the data present some sug- 

 gestions that would be well worthy of 

 consideration. As the number of cars 

 of apples shipped from the Northwest 

 is about five times greater than the 

 number of cars of peaches shipped 

 from the state of New York, and as 

 the peach crop was distributed in 

 339 towns, it would seem that the 



apple crop of the Northwest should at 

 least be distributed in 1625 cities — 

 and then some, which would be a big 

 increase over the past distribution of 

 about 611 cities — the number known 

 so far as reported. 



A 25,000 Box Apple Sale at Wenatchee. 

 Officers of the Wenatchee Heights 

 Unit have sold the apple crop of the 

 Heights, approximately 25,000 boxes, 

 the sale including almost all of the 

 fruit of Wenatchee Heights. The con- 

 tract calls for the delivery of the 

 fruit at South Wenatchee Avenue. The 

 Heights fruit this year, as in years 

 past, grades high, and the extra fancy 

 prices particularly are very satisfac- 

 tory to the growers. The growers get 



pay for the fruit on delivery at the 

 warehouse and the burden of furnish- 

 ing cars is on the buyer. The follow-
