Annual Report -3- 



well into June, making for a more orderly marketing picture for the 

 entire apple industry* Many new retail packs and bulk shipments 

 were experimentally shipped this year with good acceptance. 



Our figures show the following export apple shipments; 

 1962-63 - 163,000 cartons 

 1963-61+ - 266,000 " 

 196[|.-65 - 317,000 " 

 1965-66 - 375,000 " 



Demand for potato inspection fell off drastically this year, 

 due to a poor and light crop, A very high percentage of our 

 Connecticut Valley potatoes were diverted to the potato chip 

 industry. However, indications for the upcoming crop show good 

 quality and a high yield waichwill result in a much higher in- 

 spection demand and so will increase our revenue for potato in- 

 spectors. 



Cranberry inspections increased over the previous year due 

 primarily to request by processors who are making the new products - 

 cranberry juice and cranberry-apple juice. These two products alone 

 have rejuvenated the entire cranberry industry. 



Blueberry inspection for purity was again carried out in 

 July and August in a small laboratory located in West Granville, 

 This service, again on a fee basis, has proved very beneficial, 

 particularly on berries frozen for processors. 



Now that carrots are being successfully grown in the Siinderland 

 area, a newer type product inspection is necessary to serve these 

 growers.
