high quality being shipped, at the rate
of $50 cars day for period OF tive
weeks or more.
An agreement to stop loading ono
day was not unanimous but resulted
in only 273 ears being loaded Sunday
June 90. A similar agreement was
made for the next Sunday, holding the
days shipment TO 2l3 ears. After
shipping more than 600 ears for two
davs, many distributors at the request
of the growers, accepted for shipment
only five crates or less per acre, which
was regarded, as the alternative to
closing the shipping sheds of the en-
tire valley.
In addition to the unprecedented
shipments from 1mperial ALLEY, the
Georgia cantaloupe crop also Increased
200 per cent, over 100 ears a day
moving from that section during the
third week of the Imperial Valley
season.
There was decidedly more cash buy
ing at shipping points in 1921 than
in any previous season and although
an increased volume of such business
was expected in 1929, it did not devel-
op. The high prices which prevailed
while the movement was getting under
way, held off many OF the buyers
and when the real increase began, the
heavy shipments in prospect seemed

When the price went lower than

June, the larger distributors stopped

chances of better prices through con-
signments. Other shippers rolled to
