or Much Interest to Cantnloupe

vi MUCH AutrIVHt W NuutuiOupC
Growers.
To the Editor OF the Enterprise.
Remarks made by II. L. Hagen at the
association meeting, April 30, have been
misunderstood by some OF our people.
There are good reasons why those who
are in u position to do 60 should lay in u
supply OF crates as spoken OF. Tho fac
tory can only furnish about 5000 crates
daily. The contract does not bind Mr..
Hagen to furnish more thun six car loads
$4,000 crates) in any one week. The
time for delivery after the date Of the Or
der is twenty days.
Now suppose the quantity on hand
should be sufficient for only days.
or 4 days, or day, with the factory do
ing it's very utmost? Bear in mind there
will be about 5000 acres planted by mem
bers Of this association; that there will
be days that will produce s crates to the
acre. This means $4,000 crntes daily. Aud
il railroad accident should occur east
(or the Spaniurds hold the end OF the
Santa Fe) which would stop delivery OF
crates for week, what could we do with
the cantnloupes? The fellows who had
few hundred crates piled away would
be "in II" and those depending on daily
supplies would be Sin the SOUP"
The contract with Mr.. Hagen protects
him from failure to deliver by reason OF
..providential hindrances, railrond strikes
and railroad accidents"
Every man should have from 100 to
500 crates laid by as reserve.
A resolution passed at the same meet
ing is misunderstood by some parties.
The facts are that each land owner can
have u number, or each set OF partners
can have one, but the landowner md each
tenunt can have only one number.
That, in fact, particular tract OF land
farmed by partners, whether the part
ners be owners or not, can have but one
shipping number. Also that one man or
set OF partners can farm and ship from
two tracts provided the partners are the
same individuals.
