Despite an unusual season and. the
most serious "glut' that the market
has ever known, the canteloupe grow
ers at Culleoka will this year make
net returns of around 800 an acre,
which is better profit than they can
possibly make. yon. any other crops
grown In that section. Figures fur
nished the growers by E. J. Park, OK
the Culleoka Produce Company, the
distributors for the canteloupes OF All
that section Indicate that some grow
ers will make as high as $500 an acre
but of course many made much less
so that the average for the eighty or,
ninety acres grown In that section Is
around 500 an acre. St@
The Culleoka Produce Company
shipped twenty cars besides the ex'
press shipments. All of the returns
have been received from the car lof
shipments and the figures OF net re-
turn of 800 an acre are regarded AS
conservative. Taking the melons
