BULLETIN 776, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. ' 



Tables 36 to 40, inclusive, show the holdings on January 1 

 of all varieties except fowls, for which the holdings of Febru- 

 ary 1 are shown. The holdings of these dates do not show the 

 actual peak loads of the season on account of the large carry 

 over from the previous season. They represent, however, the 

 peak load for the current season's stock, and as the segrega- 

 tion was very satisfactory at that time, they may be considered 

 as representative of the quantities of the different varieties 

 stored for the season.
