GREEN MELONS In
EAST BLAMED TO
REROUTINC CARS

The reflection apparently cast up
on the reputation of Imperial Valley
for keeping up the quality of pro
duce to eastern markets by different
prices being quoted in Chicago on
green" and ripe" cantaloupes
was caused by the rerOuting of sew
eral carloads intended for New York
markets to Chicago, according to
Commissioner Harrigan. The melons
intended to be in first class condi-
tion after the longer trip to New
York were not fit for the nearer
market Of Chicago.
The situation as reported from
Chicago by the United States Bureau
OF Markets was investigated locally
by Horticultural Commissiner B. A.
Harrigan. His corps of inspectors
have been working to prevent the
shipping of immature cantaloupes
and the cars mentioned were passed
for New York and so marked, when
inspected al Brawley.
L. d. Hale, Imperial Valley re-
preventative of c. H. Weaver and
Company, Chicago, emphatieally stat
ed to the commissioner today that
his men were not shipping imma-
ture produce or violating the quail
ity Standardization law. L. c. Sci
bert, Brawley grower, and Fred Hid
reth of Brawley also were emphatic
in their statements denying the ship
ping of green stuff for the Chicago
market or Of cantaloupes that would
be green in any market.
Commissioner Harrigan's orders
to his inspectrs to stop all green
shipments are being rigidly en-
forced he states, and fines every day
are resulting from their labors. His
office was commended quite recent
ly for the work being done in the
valley in connection with the en-
forcement of the Standardization
work by George f. Hecke, chief of
the state department of agriculture.
Fines assessed in Judge Griffin Is
justice court in Brawley Friday
amounted 10 500. y. Kisyama, Y.
Kahatsu, S. Myashiro, and G. Su-
gamasmo each paying a fine of $50
Tor attempting to force green mel
ons on the market after several
