Salt River Valley Melons.

The Rocky Ford melon, a product of the Salt River Valley in Arizona, found so much favor in the East last season that farmers have gone into the industry with vigor this season and carloads of the cantaloupes will be shipped as far east as New York this year. The raising of cantaloupes has been found very lucrative and dealers are very much encouraged over some feats of shipping. For instance, a consignment of melons consigned to Liverpool, reached Liverpool and the fruit, which was in most satisfactory condition commanded almost fabulous figures at a retail store. This was used as an illustration of the possi- bilities of this young industry. show ing that the field for marketing the product is almost unlimited. Last season perhaps not more than three carloads of melons were shipped from Arizona. It Is estimated that at least fifteen carloads will reach Chicago and other points east this season.-Califor- mia Fruit World.
