Back yards are something big city

dwellers long to get rid of. But back
yards are geographical condition /;
the yearning is about as close as a
cityite ever gets to one. while the
small townite finds It hard to dispense

Metal screws have been made since

handling and for some delay in transit.
AS general rule, therefore, canta-
loupes should be picked just before
they reach the full-slip stage. Such
melons possess not only the desirable
eating quality, but also the necessary
carrying quality.
The keeping and carrying qualities
of cantaloupes are directly dependent
on the care exercised to prevent me-
chanical injuries in harvesting and
preparation for shipment.
Use Care in Packing.
During the operation of packing,
melons should be placed carefully in
the crates, and not dropped or tossed
into place, as is frequently done. In
jury caused by squeezing can be pre-
vented if packers are careful not to
force in diversified melons when fin
ishing the crates.
The reduction of serious market
losses from over-ripe and decayed mel
ons is dependent to a large extent
upon the promptness with which they
are placed under refrigeration. They
should be loaded Immediately in iced
refrigerator cars, and, while being
hauled from packing shed to the car
loading platform, should be covered
to protect them from the sun.
Catalogues should preferably not
be wrapped. They do not refrigerate
so well in ransit nor do they reach
the consumer in so good condition as
unwrapped melons. Loading different
types of packages may obstruct air cir
culation and thds seriously retard re.
frigeration. In cars equipped with
these racks, as we'll as basket bunk
ers. salt may be effectively employed
to hasten refrigeration. The ability
of refrigerator cars to cool melon ship
ments quickly and to maintain desir'
able temperatures in transit depends
directly upon proper bunker and bulk
head construction, and upon the guam
tity and quality of the insulating ma
terial used.
