Melon Growers Organize.

According to a recent editorial in
the Field and Farm the melon grow
ers Of the Arkansas Valley are about
to get together and organize a cen.
trail association through which the
entire crop of the Valley will be mar.
keted instead of through a half dozen
or more competing organizations and
associations. 1t Is the only way.
The Field and Farm says:
"A renewed movement has been
started by some OF the cantalOupe
growers in the Rocky Ford district
To organize a central association. The
object OF the promoters OF this plan
Is to have all the cantaloupes grown
through one big association instead OF
having each local association market
its own crop. The movement has
the support OF growers at several
Of the important points. but just how
successful II will prove cannot be
foretold at this time. So far no par
ticular plan has been devised Tor
carrying on the work. at least SO
far as the marketing end of the
business is concerned. Many of the
growers feel that with one associa-
ton representing the growers in con-
troll Of the entire supply in the val
ley that the melons could be mar
keted to much better advantage and
also the quality and pack Of the mel
ons could be controlled better than
Is the case at present. 1t is probable
that meetings at the several points
where the cantaloupes are grown ex-
tensively will be held during the next
month or two to discuss the matter
more thoroughly. One thing II GER
tain: To make melon growing profit
able the selling end must be made
