Much has aheady been clone in the way of developing markets, as 

 is proven by the fact that in 1908 a crop of 1,891 cars was marketed 

 at prices ruinous to all concerned, probably causing heavier losses 

 than any other crop in the history of the industry, while now a crop 

 of twice that size can be handled easily with profit, Wliile the work 

 of educating the public is tedious and often expensive, the broadened 

 markets which result make it worth while. 



SALT RIVER VALLEY DISTRICT, ARIZONA. 

 HISTORY. 



The Salt River Valley district of Arizona begins to ship musk- 

 melons at about the time when shipments from the Imperial Valley 

 begin to decrease. In 1915 the first car was shipped from Mesa on 

 July 4, and the last car was shipped from Glendale on August 1.
