APPLE EXPORTS ARE ENORMOUS
 
More Than 400,000 Boxes Over Last Year's Shipments Abroad
 
According to the figures of C. K. Macey state horticultural inspector, 400,000 
boxes more of apples have been exported this year than last.  Mr. Macey made 
an estimate some time ago that the excess would be somewhere in the 
neighborhood of a 100,000 barrels, but it has exceeded even this mark.  
Estimating 620 boxes to the car, this means that America has marketed 645 more 
carloads of fruit than in 1913.  These figures include the exportations from 
Canada also.
 
There were 40,000 barrels more shipped during the past week than there were in 
the corresponding week of last year.
 
Although the prices have not been so good this year as last, it is considered 
that they are good for the "big" year.  Every other year there is a big apple 
crop and consequently the growers cannot command the high prices each year.  
It is true, though, that prices this year are getting better as the season 
advances.
