Exhibit No. G. 
(See preceding chart.) 
The preceding chart shows the season's car-lot shipments for the 
United States, Pacific Northwest, New York State, and the Central 
Appalachian district for the crop years 1916 to 1919. The figures 
used in this chart were telegraphed daily by the division superin- 
tendents of the railroads on which shipments of apples originated. 
It will be noted that these daily reports aggregate 33,270 cars' for 
the Pacific Northwest for the 1919-20 season, while the reports by 
shipping stations, as shown in Exhibit No. 2, aggregate 37,051. The 
larger total is probably more accurate, but the former is used in this 
chart to bring about more uniform comparison between figures for the 
Pacific Northwest and the other sections mentioned.
