BETTER FRUIT 



April 



Dow Arsenate of Lead 



This is a material that 

 has given the very best 

 of satisfaction wher- 

 ever it has been used 



and where quality and price are the deciding factors. For the fourth consecutive season we have had the 

 business of the State Forester of Massachusetts, which alone represents a tonnage of close to one and a half 

 million pounds. This is a contract awarded only to the parties able to make the best quality and price 

 consistant with that quality. From the standpoint of quality and price we offer you in Dow Arsenate of 

 Lead the best that you can procure. 



Our tremendous increase in business from year to year among the fruit growers of the United States 

 and also foreign countries is the best evidence we can offer you that Dow Lead does better work. We can 

 supply you from five different distrib- 

 uting centers in the Northwest. If you 

 are not in touch with any one of them 

 write us.

Statement of Distribution N. W. Box Apples 



By Chas. J. Brand, Chief Markets and Rural 



THE following sUitement of tlu- dis- 

 tribution of apple shipments from 

 the four Northwestern stales, Washing- 

 ton, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, made 

 at the request of the shippers and grow- 

 ers, is based on the voluntary reports 

 of the shippers and the railroads. 



From the waybills furnished by the 

 railroad station agents it was ascer- 

 tained that 4(il shippers, large and 

 small, participated in the distribution 

 of the apple crop. This number in- 

 cludes growers' organizations, local 

 cash-buying firms, local representatives 

 of Eastern wholesale houses, local mer- 

 cantile houses, local brokers, traveling 

 brokers and growers. Among the grow-

ers were those who had large commer- 

 cial orchards and those who could shijj 

 only one car. 



The total number of cars reported 

 by the railroads represents the actual 

 number of cars shipped out of the ter- 

 ritory, as taken from the best source of 

 information available. 



The total number of cars reported by 

 shippers is the number of cars upon 

 which information has been received 

 from the shippers reporting cars which 

 have actually been delivered at the des- 

 tinations indicated. 



The inconii)leteness of the informa- 

 tion is due to the fact that a great many 

 of the shippers and organizations have 

 not received their returns and that data 

 cannot be included in this review until 

 received b\' this ollice. At the end of 

 the shipping season, when more com- 

 plete data are available, it may be pos- 

 sible to issue another statement.
