Cantaloupe Association Reaches Lamar Contract Agreement
E R Nichols of Chicago and Aug F Buck of Granada met with local cantaloupe growers to finalize a Lamar association contract. Nichols will handle sales with a 10 percent commission and F O B terms to Lamar, saving freight commissions and cutting charges by 20 percent. An inspector will be appointed by Nichols but approved by locals. The meeting fostered harmony and promises larger acreage, with optimism for gains beyond last year’s sugar beet earnings. The East market for cantaloupes remains strong. Another note mentions Bent and Prowers County Cattle and Horse Growers Association holding its annual meeting in Las Animas.
