These conditions the government
has been fully aware of for a long

alton was tie return here of United
states Ambassador Sheffield with
complaints Of discourtcous treatment
by the Mexican government off

both countries would remedy the
situation. That having been done,
the incident may be considered clos

For weeks Ambassador Sheffield

it were not true she had entered

dropped cut Of the market and
many growers quit in disgust. be
lieving the cantaloupe crop here was
TOO risky 20 ever amount 10 anv-
thing.
For the next five or six seasons
the acreage was gradually iucrcas-
ed and with returns showing fair
/ profit for the growers, more in
tcrest began to be taken in the can
taloupe crop. Beginning with the
1913 season, statistics Of the aere-
age and carload shipments have
been carefully kept and they show
a slow but sure increase from slJ6
acres and 1866 ears in that year, to
2J,O90 acres this season.
Some Poor Seasons
The cantalOupe season has not al.
ways been satisfactory from u fin
ancial standpoint, the 1915, 1916
and 1917 crops making poor returns.
For the next four years there was
a Slight profit and in 1922 an over
production caused disastrous mar
kct, in the midst of general finan-
cial depression, causing many grow
ers and distributors to 20 broke.
In 1923, although there was re
duction in acreage, more canta-
loupes were shipped than the pre-
vious year, as a strong market war
rantcd the harvesting of the entire
crop. Last years crop was salts
factory, but there were no large
profits.
This year the cantaloupc men are
anticipating good prices right
through to the end of the season,
and they confidently believe that
the entire crop will be harvested.
With "A continuation of the present
prices for short period, il is bclicy-
cd all the cantaloupe men will fin
ish the season on the right side of
the ledger, even if there should be
a drop in prices later ON.
Rigid inspection has helped, so
has the publicity campaign which
the cantaloupc men conducted pre-
vious to the first shipment, and up
to the present time. The fact that
there have been plenty of cars for
shipments has also tended toward
making the year successful, and
the fact that the quality of the
cantaloupes seems to be higher than
usual, makes it certain that 1929 is
to be the banner year in the history
of Imperial Valleys cantaloupe
crop.
In fact, one prominent shipper
was heard to remark today that
the cantaloupe industry in general,
growers and shippers alike, has
made more money thus far this sea
son than it did during the entire
season of 1924.
All of which, coupled with the
winter's S successful lettuce crop,
makes the prospect look mighty en-
couraging for valley folks for the
next few months.
