In Marketing
Now Assured
Shipping OF Melons to Be Under
Government Supervision and Close
Inspection-Special Man to Be
Placed In Ordway District.

Melon growers thruout the Ar
cooperate this year as never before
for the sake of better marketing of
the canteloupe crop. This co-opera-
ton should be to it's fullest, and with
government supervision it can be ac-
romplished Over in the Rocky Ford
district meeting was held few
davs ago which was participated in
by both the growers and the distrib-
ntors, and 1t was unanimously agreed
that some system of inspection
should be adopted. This system will
be that of government supervision,
and man is to be sent there by the
department of agriculture to over
see the business both in that district
and in the Ordway territory.
How California Benefits.
At the Rocky Ford meeting Fred
Hlvert, representing S. A. Gerard
G. Co. explained the California meth
cd of inspection which this year fully
doubled the value of the California
crop. Hilvert stated that it had been
demonstrated beyond question that
fully matured canteloupes carried
better when they reached the eastern
ripening would not ripen in transit
and would never become eatable. He
called attention to government tests
and explained the manner of inspect
ing in the Imperial valley. His com
pany favors handling only melons
pulled on the full slip. f. E. Cad
wallader of the Pope Patterson COM
pany the firm which will handle the
crop of the Crowley County Cante-
loupe association. also favored the
full slip and said that his company
wanted no half ripe melons. A dozen
or more growers in attendarG- at
that meeting who spoke agreed that
the industry had been injured by the
shipment OF green melons and that
the only salvation lay in rigid inspec-
ton and in some plan that would in
sure the shipment of only fully ripe
and perfect canteloupes.
Urges More Care.
H. NJ. Bainer, agricultural demon.
strator for the Santa Fe, and Mr.
Glimpse of the Wells-Fargo Express
company urged the necessity Of more
care in the inspection of melons. The
speakers were all frank in their state
ments and placed the blame at this
end of the line, where it belongs.
Under such inspection as will be
adopted only merchantable melons
are to be accepted by buyers and dis
tributors. 1t will be agreed that an!
rejected melons cannot again be of

slips easily from the vine.
Every grower and distributor
knows that the fully ripe melon gets
the money and that in the end the
unripe melon is a dead loss. In spite
of these facts it seems strange that
so many people have in the past ig-
nored not only the plain law of ma
ture but good business principles and
have imposed upon the markets a
This year growers are to adopt the
sensible course and every man who is
really interested in the industry will
gladly join in the plans now under
way.
