The list, the most com plete of its kiud to be issued f o r this state, gives the shipments by counties and shipping points wthin the counties. Potatoes, pears, upples, onions, fresh prunes and c au liflow er a c ­ count for the hulk o f the car lot shipments o f fruit and vegetable# In this state. The trend has been up­ ward in regard to potatoes and on ions, the peak o f 54 78 carloads having been reached In 1934 for po­ tatoes and m s for on ions the same year. Ten years ago the fig ures were 1252 and 5 1 S carloads for these tw o commodities. Hood River is the point o f origin o f a large part o f the shipments, es­ pecially apples, pear* Hnd strawber­ ries. Medford ranks first In pears The Dalles first In rherries, Milton for fresh prunes and Salem for dried prunes. Klamath County last year shipped 3798 cars o f potatoes, compared with (¡99 cars from Deschutes and 315 from Malheur. B rooks in Marlon county Is the leading shipping point for celery, ami onions, while Nyssa In Malheur county ships out the most lettuce, the report shows. The information was compiled from official car lot shipment re­ ports o f the U. s. department o f a g ­ riculture, by students at O. S. C. em ­ ploye,) under the NY A. The work was supervised by staff members In the extension econom ist's office. Copies are available for distribution to those Interested. For those needing more detailed In­ formation, listings were made by months for each shipping point, but thfs tabulation was so volum in ous that It was placed ou file for public use but was not published.
