Melon Season Starting Rather
Late, With Only Few Cars
Shipped From Florida

ATLANTA, June IS. Great
quantities Of fruit and vegetables
are being sent to the market from
the Southern states, according to a
weekly report made today by 7. C..
Curry, of the Market News Service,

Monies. The weeks carlot move
ment of 1916 was one third
heavier than year ago, the report
states, and over 100000 carloads of
fruits and vegetables have been re-
ported to date with the season little
more than half over.
New potatoes, strawberries, and
cantaloupes were the most active
perishables, according to Mr.. Curry
making up nearly half of the weeks
total.
The weekly report shows that the
melon season is rather late, in fact
even later than in 1928. Florida
has shipped only few cars compar
ed to 1900 shipped at this date last
seasos and $500 cars 1922. Other
states have scarcely begun. Al
though late, the melon crop is re-
ported to ibe in good condition,
with large production expected I'M
less unfavorable conditions should
cut the crop short as happened last
season. About five sixth Of the
melon acreage is in the early ship
ping states, including Georgia, Flor
da, Alabama, Texas and the Car
olnas. Paintings has exceeded last
year by about ten thousand acres.
The gain is chiefly in Texas, which
has passed Florida and is now crowd
in Georgia fairly close for leader
ship. Georgia and Texas promise
heavy crops. Florida, according to
the report, should be in full swing
by the end of the month, about the
thine when the shipments from
Georgia begin.
