During this depression period it is to be expected 
that the value of apple exports will continue to decline 
while the quantity of ripe apples should compare favorably 
with the exports for the past decade, excepting the two 
low years of 1917 and 1918. When compared with the five 
pre-war years, 1910-1914, they should be represented by an 
index number of approximately 100 in quantity, and at least 
120 in price per unit.
