ARIZONA CANTALOUPES
ON THE MARKET EARLY

Phoenix, ARK, May 8.-As usual,
Arizona viii this year be shipping
centalOupes and Watermelons to the
eastern market long before CalifOr-
MIA begins TO pick her crop. For a
time it was thought that the crop
in the Salt river valley would be
backward owing to the unprecedented
cold spell of January, but present
prospects are that the melons will be
as early as in previous years and
quite abundant.
over 200 acres are planted to water
melons and the shipments will total
over so carloads. California commits
sion houses have already contracted
for a large share of the crop.
From the Mesa country. in the east
end of the valley, 200 carloads Of can
talOupes viii be shipped. The ship
ments from Glendale, in the northwest
corner, will be about the same, and
from scattering points at least so
cars viii be sent out.
