THE IMPERIAL VALLEY
1919 ANTALOUPE CROP.

The big 1919 cantaloupe deal is now
in the making Information obtain
able from japanese growers and the
association indicate thai there may
be an acreage as high as $4,000 or
10000 acres. Last year Iie actual
acreage was 1O952. On account of
the high prices obtained for last
years crop, the record breaking net
returns to the growers and an in
crease in te japanese population Of
the valley, it seems reasonable to be-
Ilieve that there will be a heavy in
crease in the canialoupe acreage. At
the present time the japanese grow

last year of 80c a crate. IT is not
understood at this time that the 81
guarantee is absolutely definite and
final as far as the growers are con.
Icerned. 1t is reported that some ship
Ipers have contracted for less. There
Iare also a number Of shippers who
have leased land and will assume the

worked over with several crops and
land which is located in districts
which are known TO be late, will prob

antee.
The Imperial Valley cantaloupe deal
during the past several years has been
profitable. For many years it has
been considered that on account of tbs
'cantaloupe being so higy perishable
one, it was of the biggest risk in the
country. Every year it is predicted
that The shippers are surely going
broke, but they have continued to
prosper as well as the growers. War
and trade conditions last year were
favorable to procuring high prices for
a product like the cantaloupe. A por'
lion of The success, however, 10
probably due 10 the fact that the first
cantaloupes shipped to the consumers
of the country were fit TO eat, thereby
creating a desire on the part of the
consumer for more. If melons ara
J shipped unfit TO eat and the consumer
lis compelled to pay record breaking
prices. one purchase would be enough.
Therefore, the statement that the
county horticultural commissioner is
going TO be more strict during the COM
ing season regarding pack and quail
, ,ity than ever before, should be well
come news to the growers and ship
pers. It is evident at this time that
there will be several new shippers
lined up in the deal during the coming
season.
Members of the State Cattlemen's
Association who protested against the
plowing up of alfalfa TO make room
for what they believed to be a luxury,
learned that at least some members OF
the Food Administration took the po-
sition that the cantaloupe contains
certain amount of sugar and as
breakfst food, replaces articles That
would replace sugar. Hence the ap-
