June. according to the monthly
report of the Imperial county farm
bureau COW testing association.
Farnsworth placed five among the
ten highest producing COWS and
five among the ten highest produc-

His fine showing boosted his point
total for the year to 81 and further
widened the distance over other val
ley dairy herds.
Total milk production during June
exceeded the preceding peak by
four per cent. according to the re-
port. and production per capita was
highest on record.
While dairy production has been
high and stocks large. the consumer
demand has declined. Prices have
dropped to the lowest level in four

POOR MARKET
BRINGS PROBATE
OF MELON CROP

CaStaloupe shipments from Impe-
rial Valley during the month of
June were much lighter than usual
and market conditions were un-
favorable according to the monthly
report of the county agricultural
commissioners office.
Growers reSorted to pro-rate
shipment to raise prices but the
move was not successful. Growers
then met and voted to disc up one
third of all cantaloupe acreage in
order to save expense of picking
and and handling sizes under the
p-o-rate.
The diScing of the acreage
strengthened the market slightly
and brought about more steady
demand for the melons.
More than 500 cars were ship
ped during the month. Quality
and pack we're exceptionally good.
Lighter shipments will continue un-
til the middle of July.
Shipments of honeydews and
honeyballs have been lighter than
anticipated but heavier shipments
are expected in the latter part of
July and early August. Quality has
been good. the market fair.
Watermelon shipments during
June reached only half the ton
mage shipped in 1887 but the light
yield maintained higher prices.
Hay shipments for the month
reached more than 41,000 tons to a
slightly weaker market. Much hay
is being stored to take advantage
of an expected higher market later
in the year.
The tomatoe season ended dur
ing the month and growers report
ed a successful season. Prices were
good, quality and yield were above
average.
