From a snap shot photograph

on experiments and investigations
looking toward Il better utilization Of
the country's fruit yield. 1t is part OF
the departments regular business to
find new markets for American agri-
cultural produce and to help the farm
er to realize as much as possible for
his crops. There has been particular
reason for doing this in the case Of
orchard products, because the fruit
crop is one difficult to handle.
One variety Of American fruit has
already developed a European market
and is shipped abroad in great quanti-
ties-namely. the apple.
Most of the American apples that
supply the European market come from
New England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania. Delaware and other points near
the seaboard; but last season ship
ments were made from Illinois and
other central western states. During
last season, too, the experiment of ship
