WHERE STRAWBERRIES COME
FROM.

A recent survey OF the production
and marketing OF Strawberries in the
United States made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicates that
the eight most important commercial
strawberry districts are central Cali
fornia. Tennessee. Maryland, Della
ware, southern Louisiana, North and
South Carolina, Virginia and the
Ozarks. In 1914 1905 carloads Of
s~trawberries were shipped from cen.
trial California. Lesser quantitie, were
shipped from the other districts which
are named in the order OF their i'm
portance, From the OZarks came 74S
carloads last year.
The North plays a more important
part in the strawberry industry than
these figures might indicate. Great
quantities Of berries are grown in the
North In small patches and Skinned
to market by trolley, express or In
the producers W wagon. Only a
very small portion of Northern grown
berries are concentrated into carload
lots, the basis for the Government
survey, In the South, however. on the
Pacific coast, where berries are
shipped long distances, it is economic
cal to arrange to have them sent by
carloads.
The bulletin contains a list Of all
shipping stations in the United States
where carload shipments originate,
together with the number OF carloads
sent out in 1914. From this list It
appears that there was a grand total
Of 1882 carloads Of Strawberries
shipped commercially in 1914. OF
these 2,312 came from California, the
States closest competitor being Ten
nessee, with a total OF 1915.
