CAN TAI LOUPE:
ACREAGE MAY
SHOW A GAIN
Secretary of the japanese
Farmers Assn. Reports
500 Additional Acres, but
No Increase in Yield.

That The acreage of peas in the
Imperial Velley will be nearly 600,
the cantaloupe acreage about 10000
and The lettuce acreage $500 acres,
is the estimate made by Secre eary
Ozawa of the japanese Farmers As
social ion in Brawley.
Present indications are that grow
ers will plant 500 acres more than
las year. The opinion is expressed
that, due 10 the fact that mosl of the
additional acrease will be alfalfa and
melon land, plowed for The first
time, the total yield for next season
will approximate This years figures
under similar climatic conditions.
Practically all the peas have been
planted in the hope of escaping frosts
and reaching The very early market.
Most of The peas are grown in The
Brawley district. This locality, 100,
will head the list, as usual, with can
taloupes and lettuce. CaleXico, it is
les imated, will grow 500 acres of LEI
luce, Heber about 600, Meloland 200,
land the remainder will be planted
around Brawley and Westmoreland
Secretary Ozawa says that the let
CuCc SIOWlHo well, liO 'loooiS DS
ing experienced from insects or birds
hat sometimes prey on The tender
plants. He expects The first cars to
move about the middle of January,
with the season shipments under full
headway by February 1.
The distributors are expected %
sign contracts with the growers nox'
week In discussing The proposes
new contracts which call for S1.G0 n
crate advance, in addition to The Gus
tomary advance for material, Secre~
tary Ozawa says that it has been
the custom in the past 20 pay rs per
cent of The cost of raising a crate Of
cantaloupes 10 the grower before the
melons are shipped The increasing
advance sought by The growers du-
ring the past Two or three Years, rep
resents only the increased cost of
production, he says. and the proper
ion of advance cost is no greater
this year than in times pasi.
