Approximately 4,600 carlots of cherries were unloaded during 1936- 

 42, the years during which inspections were made. Eighty-seven 

 percent were rail shipments, chiefly from California, Washington, 

 Oregon, and Idaho; most of them arrived during May, June, and 

 July. Approximately 13 percent were truck shipments, nearly all of 

 which arrived during June through August from New York State. 

 Fourteen carlots came in by boat from Chile and 17 by rail from 

 Canada. 



Inspections were made on 801 rail carlots, or approximately 20 

 percent of all rail unloads. Distribution of decay within them was as 

 follows:

 in 682 carlots, or 85 percent of those inspected. Distribution of 

 decay by types was as follows:
