tolal different sections produce; how the crop is distributed in consump- 

 tion; and the movement of the peacli-crop from competing peach-states. 

 These data we undertake to furnish for the year 19 15, a normal peach- 

 year, taking the figures from the transportation Hnes handling peaches in 

 New York so far as obtainable. The volume of the product for western 

 New York is shown by figures taken from the New York Central Railroad ' 

 and the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Peaches were shipped from towns as 

 follows :

These figures include plums but the shipment of plums in 191 5 was so 

 insignificant as to be negligible and more than offset by shipments of peaches 

 not accounted for by the earners named. 



In addition to the above the American Express Company took out of 

 this territory about 173 cars, mostly in less than car-lot shipments.
