Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...and in placing them in Eastern markets., Even though the haul across the continent is long, they have entered into successful competition for the control of the fruit markets of the country. In one year the State of Washington shipped eighteen thousand carloads of apples to various markets. Many problems can and will, in all probability, be brought out by the pupils. In Appendix A (pp. 263-278), two more problems, which follow the regional treatment, are given. Type studies, too, form a valuable method of study of these states. The surface, as a whole, is a mile above sea level, with ridges of mountains frequently towering two miles or more high. The entire region is so great in extent, so varied in quality of soil, and so wide in range of temperature and products, that teachers attest to the fact that a number of type studies can convey an excellent geographical notion of the entire region. These type studies afford an opportunity to present the physical features, irrigation, dry farming, herding or ranching, fishing and fur trading, mining, fruit growing, and lumbering.5 As has already been suggested, (pp. 81-83), this region as well as other sections, can also be taught advantageously by means of journey geography. The following minimum essentials of place geography are suggested: Name and locate the states; tell at least one important fact about Columbia, Puget Sound, Sacramento, San Francisco Bay, Yosemite, Los Angeles, Seattle, Tacoma, San Diego, Spokane, Shasta, Hood, and Ranier.
