Exhibit No. 11. 



To make a comparison of the rate and destination competition 

 among the three main apple-producing sections of the United States, 

 the mileage and freight rate from Spokane, Wash., Rochester, N. Y., 

 and Winchester, Va., are shown from those points to nine of the prin- 

 cipal terminal markets of the country. These rates were in effect on 

 March 31, 1920, but are given merely as a matter of information and 

 can have no standing in adjusting freight charges with carriers. For 

 that purpose official quotations from tariffs on file with the Interstate 

 Commerce Commission and with State commissions should be secured 

 from carriers' representatives.
