AMERICAN PEOPLE
LEAD THE WORLD
AS APPLE EATERS
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Although
consumption OF apples in the United
states is less than the proverbial
apple a day averaging about
three apples week per capita, the
American people lead the world as
apple eaters, according to the de-
nartment of agriculture, which has
been making comprehensive study
of the production and marketing of
apples sold in barrels.
Estimates for the British Isles
average about two apples week,
and III most countries of continental
Europe the consumption of apples
is comparatively light.
Three states-New York. Michi-
gan and irginia-produce nearly
one half the average commercial
crop of the barrel region. Leading
commercial main crop varieties of
the barreled apple region are Bald
win and Rhode lisland Greening in
the north, York Imperial and Wine
sap IN the south, and the Ben Davis
and Jonathan in the west. Leading
fall kinds are Oldenburg, Wealthy
and Mcintosh.
Cold storage, in most sections, has
largely superseded common storage
for long keeping of market apples.
Sometimes over one fourth of the
commercial apple crop is reported in
cold storage at the height of the
season. Barreled apples comprise
about half the average stock in
cold storage.
Apples Rank First
The leading. markets for New York
state apples are Boston, Buffalo,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis,
Newark, New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, and Providence; Chi.
