Abstract
Excerpts from the Foreword: This list is designed to show the sources of prices and other statistical and economic material relating to fruits, vegetables and nuts in the periodicals currently received in the United States Department of Agriculture Library. These include fruit trade journals, price lists, fruit auction sheets, grocery and canning trade journals, periodicals dealing with special crops, the more general horticultural and growers' periodicals, and official publications of the United States and some other governments. An exception has been made in the case of the official publications of the individual States of the United States as they were included in Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 38, List of State Official Serial Publications Containing Material on Agricultural Economics. The statistics found in these publications are many and varied. They include acreage, production, receipts, unloads, shipments, value, yield per acre and prices (auction, jobbers', f.o.b., wholesale, and in a very few instances, retail). Information as to the material found in each publication has been given in the descriptive note, and a detailed index, arranged by commodities, has been included.
