O. 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.
