 were furnished by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Because of late spring frosts which killed 

 the bloom, no crop was harvested in Kentucky and West Virginia in 1921.)

SHIPMENTS OF APPLES IN 1920 AND 1921. 



Corresponding figures on the apple shipments are not available for 

 1914, but Table 3 shows the carload shipments for 1920 and 1921. 

 The shipments are relatively small from Tennessee and Kentucky 

 and large from West Virginia. It will be noted that the shipments 

 and centers of production of peaches are confined chiefly to the 

 northeastern part of West Virginia. The points at which apple 

 shipments originate are more widely distributed, although the north- 

 eastern part of West Virginia is also one of the most important apple- 

 shipping sections in this area. Another important apple-shipping 

 section lies along the Ohio River from Huntington north to East 

 Liverpool. In other parts of West Virginia the apple sections are 

 more limited, yet shipments originate at many scattered points. In 

 neither Tennessee nor Kentucky are there large centers of apple 

 production for the general market, though considerable shipments 

 are made from Henderson, Ky., and Ewells, Tenn.
