Exhibit No. 6. 

 (See preceding chart.) 



The preceding chart shows the season's car-lot shipments for the 

 United States, Pacific Northwest, New York State, and the Central 

 Appalachian district for the crop years 1916 to 1919. The figures 

 used in this chart were telegraphed daily by the division superin- 

 tendents of the railroads on which shipments of apples originated. 

 It will be noted that these daily reports aggregate 33,270 cars for 

 the Pacific Northwest for the 1919-20 season, while the reports by 

 shipping stations, as shown in Exhibit No. 2, aggregate 37,054. The 

 larger total is probably more accurate, but the former is used in this 

 chart to bring about more uniform comparison between figures for the 

 Pacific Northwest and the other sections mentioned.
