SUMMARY 



1. A personal survey was made of retail stores throughout New Hamp- 



shire in 1925 to determine what amounts of certain commodities 

 are being bought outside the state. 



2. The survey shows that New Hampshire ships in large amounts of 



vegetables, although in the case of many of these a high percentage 

 is brought in during the non-competing season of the year. 



3. Large amounts of potatoes are shipped into New Hampshire markets. 



It seems probable that an increased production of both early and 

 late potatoes in most sections of the state could be marketed locally. 



4. The demand for cabbage during the competing season is greater than 



the production, particularly in the northern counties. 



5. The production of celery could be increased without over-supplying 



local markets. 



6. The local markets of New Hampshire are nearly supplied by local 



production with beets, carrots, parsnips, peas, string beans, to- 

 matoes and cucumbers during the competing season. 



7. Local production of asparagus could be increased slightly and still 



only supply the local market during the competing season. 



8. The local demand for tomatoes during the marketing season for 



tomatoes grown in cold frames is much larger than local production. 



9. Hotels in the White Mountains buy most of their vegetables outside 



of the state. 



10. Hotel demand for poultry and eggs in the White Mountains is much 



greater than local production. 



11. Large amounts of dry beans, onions and butter are shipped in, but 



the advisability of local production on a commercial scale may be 

 questioned. 



12. Producers must give more attention to marketing problems.
