Northwest Apple Movement 

 for November 



Apple shipping cDnit-rns and grow- 

 ers can spend some time very profit- 

 ably in looking over the following list 

 of towns to which apples of the North- 

 west have been shipped from Novem- 

 ber 1st to 24th, inclusive. Comparisons 

 should be made with October ship- 

 ments, which appeared in the Novem- 

 ber edition. Thirty towns have been 

 added to the list during the month of 

 November, which shows an increase 

 of approximately 10 per cent wider 

 distribution. Boston received 106 cars, 

 Minneapolis 241, New York 409, Phila- 

 delphia 66. The population of Phila- 

 delphia is about twice that of Boston, 

 and Philadelphia received less than 

 half as many cars as Boston, yet Bos- 

 ton is located in Massachusetts, and the 

 New England States have long been 

 celebrated for producing large quanti- 

 ties of good apples. Many other com- 

 parisons can be drawn, which will 

 prove very positively that many cities 

 have not received or consumed the 

 quantity of Northwestern apples that 

 they should in accordance with what 

 are being consumed in other cities. 

 There must be reasons. The subject is 

 worthy of careful study. It is believed 

 that by careful investigation the con- 

 ditions, whatever they are, may be 

 overcome so that arrangements could 

 be made that each city would consume 

 its just proportion of Northwestern 

 apples. Careful study of the list of 

 cities will show that some very small 

 towns have received apple shipments 

 in car lots, and it is also true there arc 

 many towns in the I'nited States of 

 medium size that should receive in car 

 lots that are not included in this list. 

 Elverybody is extremely busy at the 

 present time, therefore it seems wise 

 to postpone a more detailed analysis of 

 the lessons that may be drawn from 

 these lists until some later issue of 

 "Better Fiiiit." It is our intention, to- 

 ward the end of the season, to analyze 

 this list more completely, calling spe- 

 cial attention to some of the cities 

 which have not assume(i their just pro- 

 portion, and also mentioning other 

 cities in the United States which should 

 receive Northwestern apples and are 

 not.
