re-check o f the Northwest’ s 1914
apple crop, completed hy the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors
this week, together with a rec
ord o f shipments from ail o f the
districts, furnished by the rail
roads, reveals the important
fact that substantially one-lmlf
o f the commercial output o f Ore-
iron, Washington, Idaho and
Montana had been shipped up to
November 1. This showing, al
though a surprise to many ship
pers, is regarded as accurate, in
view of the thorough investiga
