Figures compiled by the Market Reporter of the United States Agricultural Depart- ment show that the heavy seasons for bar- reled apples have come in the even years and for boxed apples in the odd years. Ship- ments of boxed apples have been increasing rapidly, but the shipments from barreled sections for the past season were about equal to the box and barrel movement of 1918-19. The 1920 apple crop totalled 105,000 cars. Of this amount 70,000 cars were barreled stock. Shipments of Northwest box apples were 10,000 cars below the movement of the preceding season. 1 IfiM Bui stfti inri p. KGStettleriV\fg(?o.
