Nearly 22,000 carlots of peas were unloaded during the 7-year period. 

 Rail shipments comprised 76 percent of the unloads. Practically all

 the other 24 percent of unloads were truck shipments from many 

 States, chiefly New York (Long Island and elsewhere), North Caro- 

 lina, Florida, South Carolina, and New Jersey. 



Inspections were made on 8,676 carlots, or 53 percent of all rail 

 unloads. Distribution of decay 20 within them was as follows:
