PICK MELONS FOR SHIPMENT
To Reach Market in Firm Condition
and Retain Flavor Is Excellent
\ Trait for Farmer.
(By JOHN w, LLOYD)

(By JOHN w. LLOYD)
There is considerable difference or
opinion as to the exact stage of ma
turity at which melons should be
picked for shipment If allowed to be-
come too ripe before picking, they
become soft by the time they have
reached the market, and often must
be sacrificed in order to effect an i'm
mediate sale
If picked too green, the melons
reach the market in firm condition but
are lacking in flavor, and not desired
by the best trade. 1t is nice point
to pick melons at such a degree of
ripeness that they will reach the mar
ket in firm condition, and yet possess
the requisite flavor.
The rapidity of softening after pick
ing varies with the temperature to
which the melons are subjected. The
cooler they can be kept after picking,
the longer they can be allowed to re-
main on the vines and the better flavor
they will have. 1t is, therefore, essen
tial that the melons be placed in the
shade as soon as possible after pick
ing. and be kept shaded until they are
loaded into the car.
For the same reason, ripper melons
can be shipped under refrigeration
than in ventilated cars.
The condition of the vines and the
raridity of ripening of the melons in
the field will also have bearing upon
the stage of maturity at which they
should be picked
While it is true that no rule can be
given for picking melons that will ap-
ply under all conditions, and that the
grower must exercise judgment in
reference to each days picking, the
ideal will be attained when the Condi
tions are such that the melons will
If picked as soon as the fruit will part
readily from the stem when the latter
is pressed with the thumb and finger
There is a tendency among growers
to pick considerably before this poini
has been reached, in order to run nd
risk of the melons becoming soft Id
transit
That proper grading results in the
securing Of better prices than indis
criminate packing is evidenced by thd
experience of certain growers whd
have departed from the usual custom,
and practise regular system of grad
ing whereby three distinct grades ol
marketable melons are made, and
shipped under three different brands.
