way for the new industry by pub

The Arizona market is a certain
market, for today and all the tomor
rows. The mining towns of the
stare ate growing rapidly and new
chtiiets are being opened at fre-
tii ':t inltrvals. These camps are for
the most part entirely dependent on
distant farms for their food supply.
A:ul they always will be dependent,
trice the country round them is
mostly rock on edge. With a grow
ing anil absolutely dependent market
near at hand, the cannery can
pTaoe a large proportion of its pro
duct by telephone, within a radius .if
a few hundred miles.
The growing of cantaloupes in and
about the Glendale country is a very
Important industry and .each year
fiom 700 to 2,000 acres are grown
by Glendale farmers for shipment to
'he Eastern markets during the
months .if June and July.
The fertile Glendale Does soil seems
particularly adapted to the growing
to tlie growing of Cantaloupes, and
large yields coupled with excellent
;uality are of yearly occurrence.
The words, "Grown at Glendale, Ari-
na," on a crate of Cantaloupes
means to the purchaser that he is
getting the very best that the mar
ket can offer.
Glendale Cantaloupes arrive on the
F.astern markets just after the Im
perial Valley of California have fin
ished their seasons shipments, there
by having n" competition as th"
shipment of the Glendale crop is over
before Colorado Cantaloupes are
ieady for consignment.
Dasc season a new Cantaloupe was
introduced and grown at Glendale,
called the Pink Meat, this melon
created an exceptional demand in the
F.astern markets. ,the result being
that the supply was not equal to
the demand and the Glendale farm
ers received large profits from the
result of their enterprise, the writer
