itemized statement of the sales of
a car is ever seen by the grower. ,"
The La Junta association did
its own shipping and sold thro a
commission man in each city to
which melons were shipped and
Mr.. Wood exhibited the itimized
sales sheets for every car, showing
just how the crates were disposed
of, SO many at one price and so
many at another, and the returns
to the La Junta growers for 1915
show up much better than those
made to the growers here.
Mr.. Wood stated that he had
seen contracts written in this sect
ion that called for carriage in Pitts
burg and New York, where there
is no carriage, these being the two
cities where these conditions exist,
still the growers here not KNOWN G

with carriage.
He believed the time was ripe
for federation of the associations
and the elimination of the middle
man and he advocated the sending
of man to the principal markets
to look after that end and assured
the growers that the expense OF
this could be saved on what the
distributors steal on very few
cars. He claimed that the market
reports as given out by the distri-
butors were not by any means the
price that was being received for
the melons, bat were made to suit
themselves.

were altogether too many varieties

ping, and he advocated the adop-
ton of one variety with one name
and believed that it would help
the industry 500 per cent. Tie
stated that if the growers could
get the prices that the La Junta
growers were quoted as receiving
it was better than SIS ton fol
beets and he was heartily in favor
of the federation of all the associ.
ations and of keeping the middle
man out of the field.
john Washburn, well known
cantaloupe man from La Junta
believed that where cautaloupe

have as n part of his work the
visiting of the fields in the morn

the sheds in the afternoon and i
there was law that would prevent
a grower selliug green melons to
anyone an inspector would moi
have to turn down many loads
before he would be getting the
best of melons. He stated that
under the present condition an
inspector had to watch the old
grower more then the new.
Mr.. Baxter believed that the
cantsloupe of today was better
than the old Rocky Ford melon
as it would stand up better for
shipping. He then made the fol-
flowing motion, which later was
carried unanimously:

ions of this district federate for
