bic fer Imperial Valley growers and
shippers to consider acreage first.
The 1928 season opened with n
general feeling that it would be q
satisfactory one. The acreage had
been cut 5000 to 5000 under 1927;
the crown set was fairly light on
account of heavy winds; vines were
in healthy conditions; mildcw was
noticeable only in isolated spots
and the country was expected to
take the May output of good quality
melons ut reasonable prices.

in comparing 1923 profits with 1927

On standard 45s was to use up the
shook or crate material. This
season with around $4,000 acres, the
average daily movement for the
heaviest ten day shipping period was
only $50 cars compared with $50 for
the comparative ten day in 1927.
This excess of 100 ears day was
the straw that broke the camel 5
back in 1927. Even though the 1928
output of eantaloupes, honey dews
and honey balls may equal 1927, the
reduced acreage brought about a
more uniform movement from day

than 4 minutes at the outside The
Khan never was mentioned during the
CONVEX sation and have never heard
