; the opening of the season.
The unthOughtful or unscrupulous
buyers who induce growers to mar
ket their melons before they are fit
for market, as well as the growers
who are parties, to the transaction,
are surely ignoring sound merchan-
dising principles and are doing their
best to "kill the goose that lays the
golden eggs"
Even if the first few carIots are
marketed at good or fancy prices the
effect on the market when this green
stuff arrives is certain to be very
bad. In previous seasons such prac-
tice has resulted in making Mary
land melons a drug on the market.
1t is conservative estimate that the
marketing of green melons in the
early days of the season has knocked
off at least dollar per crate for the
bulk of the melons sold later. At this
rate the premium obtained on a few
cars shipped early in the season has
been paid for at a rate of over a
quarter of a million dollars. Seven
hundred cars is equivalent to around
100000 crates. Even at twenty-five |
cents per crate the loss would |
amount to close to one hundred |
thousand dollars.
In these days when every one is
of high taxes, it would
be well if the cantaloupe growers
would give solemn and serious
hought to the self-imposed "green
melon tax"
A little organization, little stand
little self restraint top
)ed off with a full dose of shipping
)oint inspection would repeal the
,reen melon tax, safeguard the rep
ltation of Maryland melons and very
put many dollars in melon

DELAWARE RANKS EIGHTH AMONG STATES
MAKING CARLOT SHIPMENTS OF CANTALOUPES
Demarvia Peninsula Occupies Important Position In Growing OF
Melons, Correct Marketing Necessary To Get Fancy Prices Green
Fruit Should Not Be Packed; Growers Should Organize

AS the cantaloupe shipping season
in Delaware and Maryland begins
usually about July Is, persons in
terested in this business should be
giving thoughtful attention to some
rather important questions in this
connection. Not many persons realize
the mighty important place occupied
by the Eastern Shore among the
cantaloupe growing areas of the
United States.
A study of the table which is pub
lished herewith will show that even
in the poor season of 1924, Delaware
ranked eighth in carlot shipments
of this crop among the states of the
Union and When combined with
Maryland, the Eastern Shore canta-
loupe production ranked fourth, fol-
lowing California, Colorado, and Ari-
zona in the order named.
