them Just as soon as Mir. Cory is able to report encouraging progress on his work of shutting out the Colorado floods there will be the biggest kind of a boom in cantaloupe lands and in fact in all kinds of Imperial Valley lands except the hard alkaline adobe that won't raise anything but grain and not much of that. However, as there is only a comparatively small tract of this kind of land in the Valley it will not seriously retard the general boom which will come as soon as the water is under control. Already the people in other parts of the Valley where can taloupes can be grown are agitating and getting ready to organize associations and engage in the business next year.
 At Keystone the movement is well under way. One land owner has ar
 ranged to cut his 32O acre ranch up into twenty acre tracts and lease it to tenants who will be required to put ten acres in cantaloupes, no more and no less. It has been demonstrated by long experience that ten acres is all one man should undertake to raise and pick and he will have to have one man to every two acres during picking time. In this way this enterprising Keystone rancher will form the nucleus of cantaloupe association and with the cooperation of his neighbors will promote this most profitable industry in that locality The lands in the Mes quite lake basin and in the vicinity of and east from Keystone are as good as any in the Valley It is here that some of the best and earliest apricots are grown and here cantaloupes would thrive to great perfection. Another locality where cantaloupe association will probably be organized is at Heber.
 There is very large area of splen- did lands within very easy distance of that station and all it needs is people with vim and enterprise to take up the matter and put it through. This we understand will be done and an associ- alton organized and shipping plant put in at that place backed by an acreage
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-06-30

of perhaps 500 acres of cantaloupes. Should this movement be carried out it will mean at least five cantaloupe associations operating in this Valley next year and very likely a total acreage of 40OO acres planted in this crop next season. With the rapid growth of the cantaloupe market and the uneoualled quality of the Imperial Valley canta- loupes there will be no trouble In find ing market for all that can be pro- duced provided due care is taken in marketing them and the farmers don't get to competing against themselves. In order to do this it is necessary to keep the distribution of the crop in the hands of one firm and not permit others to butt in and ruin the market. The Southern California orange growers had plenty of experience along those lines and the cantaloupe growers can take leaf from their book and save themselves lots of bitter experience. The outlook for the prosperity of this Valley was never better. The farmers have all made some money this season and the experiments in fruits, grapes and asparagus have all brought the most encouraging results. To these facts add the ten strike made by the cantaloupe growers and it is apparent that the entire Imperial Valley will soon be, if it is not already, veritable Desert Klondke.
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-06-30

Cantaloupe growing IS plOFlIls 'uOii 2 money maker in this Valley this sea- son and the growers are getting such unheard of returns from their crops that it is almost dangerous to tell it for fear our readers will call us down for drawing the long bow. However the facts are here to show for them selves and if our statements seem too large remember we won't come down a cantaloupe till those who doubt have come and seen for themselves. It will be remembered that some canta- loupes were grown at Brawley last year and the business fairly established.
 The Brawley growers however did not make any big thing out of the busi- ness except in g few instances but like the wide awake and progressive farm CTS they are they learned whole lot' So that while they all came out ahead and a few, like Judge Holloway, made more than one hundred dollars per acre, they all learned how to raise ana care for cantaIoupes and were encour- aged to undertake it again. So this wear they enlarged their packing house, got in the latest machinery and planted about one thousand acres to this crop. About 300 acres of this was across the river in No. 8 and consequently was lost with the failure of water on that side of New river. But the remaining 700 acres was well titled and received first-class attention. The first canta- loupes shipped from the State Of Cali fornia and consequently the first to reach the markets from any place were shipped from Brawley and since then if has been fast and furious. Daily shipments of from six 10 ten cars are going forward from that one place. Their first full car load sold for S264O, which after paying all expenses netted the growers more than five dollars a crate. Since then the price has dropped to some extent but the canta- loupes so far shipped will bring the growers net returns of at least three dollars a crate. The vines are now at the height of the bearing season. cov- ering the ground with mass of dark green foliage and literally teeming with melons. But nevertheless quite a number of acres have already turned out one hundred crates each and are good for that many more. While the Brawley growers are leading the van and reaplng great rewards for their en- terprise and careful study of the mat ter, the farmers of Fl Centro ana Holt vile are only one lap behind the lead CTS and gaining rapidly.
 At HoltvilIe some cantaloupes were grown last year but as no organization was perfected or shipping shed built there were no facilities for marketing them and none were shipped out.
 However, it was demonstrated that cantaloupes of surpassing quality could be produced there at just as early sea- sons as any other place. So the Holt vile people got together and organized an association and went at it in busi- ness style. The association planted l6o acres of its own and it is fair to say it is the finest field of cantaloupes of its size that was ever grown in this
