THE MARKET OUTLET FOR 



MASSACHUSETTS 



APPLES 



By LORIAN P. JEFFERSON 



With the certainty that the southern New England apple crop will be 

 greatly increased in size, perhaps even doubled, within the next ten years, 

 the need of new outlets for the crop is evident. Massachusetts now 

 produces two-fifths of the commercial apples grown in New England; 

 any market stagnation due to failure to find an outlet must inevitably 

 affect Massachusetts producers. This study, therefore, was undertaken 

 for the purpose of finding first, where New England apples are now sold, 

 and secondly, those sections which now receive less than they could appar- 

 ently easily consume. This study of the foreign and domestic market for 

 the New Englcind apple is supplemented by a study of prices and of 

 methods and cost of export.
