BULLETIN 1283, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 
The California crop supplies the West, but about half of it finally 
reaches Chicago and the East. (See fig. 6.) The California crop is 
diverted in transit to such an extent that it is difficult to obtain 
figures of final destinations. 
The apparent consumption of California stock in Texas is really 
explained by the number of diversions at El Paso. The apparent 
consumption at Kansas City is also partly due to reconsignments 
from that point. 
Bermuda shipments are made primarily to the large cities. The 
20 cities named in Figure 5 take 73 per cent of the Texas crop. 
Eighty per cent of all American-grown Bermuda shipments go to 
cities of 100,000 or more inhabitants, although cities of this size com- 
prise only 26 per cent of the population. The smaller places are sup- 
plied by reconsignments or partial carloads, from the larger cities. 
Table 5 shows destinations, from 1915 to 1922 for Texas ship- 
ments and from 1918 to 1922 for California shipments. A great 
many diversions are made from such points as St. Louis, Kansas 
City, and points in Texas for which complete data are not available. 
Statements regarding final destinations are based on this table, and 
on a special study of diversions made in 1919.
