the season. MIR. Lyons states that
he has sold cantaloupes to the
Waldorf Astoria hotel IN New
York as high as s. per crate. in
which case the profits would be
more. But the melons must be Of
prime quality and first-class in
every respect.
BY the terms OF the contract Mr..
Wetzel agrees to assume the per-
sonal management of the Arkansas
Valley headquarters during the
shipping season, employing in
spectors from each OF the local
associations, and paying for icing,
stripping and loading the cars.
He places himself under $40, 600
bonds to faithfully perform his part
of the contract. He will also keep
an accurate account OF his business
transactions at the valley head
quarters which will be open to the
inspection of an auditor to be en-
ployed by the federated associa-
tions.
The confusion resulting last year
from getting the melon growers
association number and the num-
ber of crates delivered mixed will
be avoided this season. A receipt
book numbered in triplicate will
be used by each inspector. On de-
livery OF the goods by the grower
he receives receipt for every crate
accepted by the inspector, dupli-
cate is issued to the association and
the inspector retains the stub. The
three sections OF the receipt have
the same number attached and it
is almost impossible that confusion
should result.
With age and experience comes
wisdom. rhe contract this season
is an improvement upon that OF
last year, although there are some
men of extensive business expert
ence who do not altogether ap-
prove OF the present contract.
They admit that if all the
parties to the contract are honest
and act in good faith in carrying
ont all its provisions the melon
problem will be solved. They think.
however, there are many loop
holes through which the commis
sion men may escape if they desire
to act dishonesty. NJ. Lyons,
OF Lyons Bros, New York, agrees
to underwrite every contract made
by the Western Game and Poultry
Company, OF ST Louis, and he is
certainly responsible party.
Lyons Bros. are rated by r. G.
Dunn & Co, the commercial
agents, aDs4oo, 900, and Mr.. Lyons
stated in this city that that sum
did not represen, one-half OF what
the firm is really worth. 1t is not
probable that he would jeopardize
his commercial standing for any
amount.
The melon growers OF the valley
are to be congratulated on their
brilliant prospects for the coming
season. There has not been in
years winter season more favor
able for prospective crops or which
insured such a bountiful supply Of
water for irrigation purposes. The
outlook for the Arkansas Valley
during the present year is exceed
ingly bright and its residents may
rest assured of having ther full
share OF prosperity.
