When George Bach, an Atlantic City
real estate dealer who lives on E. Boil
ton avenue, attempted TO turn off the
Shore Road into that street to go to
his home last Friday night, his Ford
sedan was sideswiped by a Pierce
Arrow car driven by a New Yorker.
The left side of the sedan was scraped
by the right front fender of the heav-
Ter car, both of which received bent
tenders. In addition the Ford wind
shield was broken and the car was
otherwise married, but no one was
hurt. The two parties effected an
amicable adjustment over the cost of
repairs.

equally remarkable crop of Jersey
watermelons."
I Early market reports indicate the
%cantaloupe crop is as superior in quail
ity as in quantity. Growers say that
weather conditions have much to do
with deciding the tastiness of the
cantalope or muskmelon. Too much
dampness produces a fairness of flavor,
but a dry summer, such as the pres
ent has been, stores spicy sweetness
under the rough rinds.
The big crop should assure canta.
loupe selling in the cities at prices

Market Bureau officials declare. They
warn against pro%fiteering that would
! raise a price-barrier in city market,
denying consumers the enjoyment OF
the delicious fruit crop and depriving
growers of a steady market outlet,
BUY by the basket" is the Bureaus
advice to housewives who purchase
cantaloupes for the home table.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1921-08-13

While residents of New Jersey and
surrounding states will eat fewer
peaches, apples and pears this sum-
mer, the pluck of Jersey farmers has
assured them an unstined~ supply of
delicious cantaloupes, according to the
State Bureau of Markets which finds
the crop, although raised in an "off-
year." to be the biggest and best the
state ever has produced. Thousands
of tons of Rocky Fords and other
popular varieties are now ripening in
the southern and central counties for
shipment.
"The public has been saved from a
fruitless year by the Jersey farmer
who, when frost and drought wiped
out his orchard and berry crops, didn't
throw up the sponge and sit down and
whine" says A. L. Clark, chief of the
Market Bureau. General business de-
preston also hit the farmer a stag
gering wallop. But he smiled a little
harder and rolled his sleeves a little
higher, plowed his ground and planted
new seed, and today he is able to
bring to the refreshment of a fruit
hungry public a mountain of delicious
ness in the form of this record smash.
