CANTALOUPES 

 If this important industry is pro- 

 moted more care must be used in grad- 

 ing and packing. It is absolutely neces- 

 sary that a standard grade be adopted 

 as well as a standard of pack. The 

 commercial counts as recognized for 

 cantaloupes are: The 36 count of 

 ".Tumbos"; the 45 count of "Standards"; 

 the 54 count of "Ponies." There must 

 l)e a straight pack, uniform size can- 

 taloupes in each grade, clean and at a 

 stage of uniform ripeness that will per- 

 mit long-distance shipping.
