over the Boston & Maine 24,122 bar

Monmouth leads the 1915 shipments

In Oxford county the falling off is

South Paris shipped but 1850 barrels

in 1914. West Paris shipped 1888 bar

ments from which were not given sep
arately in the 1914 statistics shipped
out 31O6 barrels in 1915.
The 1915 crop was considerably
smaller than that of 1914 but the great
difference in shipments was by no
means entirely due to the difference in
crop. High freight rates across the
water, affecting especially the Ben Da-
Wis crop, and unsatisfactory prices
played an important par. in the mat
ter.
State Horticulturist Wilkins states
that there are Indications that the 1916
apple crop will be so per cent. greater
than that of last year, although not
equal to the bumper crop of 1914 in
size. The quality of this years crop,
however, will not be very good. on &C
