Officals of the United Fruit distributors expressed themselves as being pleased with the quality of tne rruit. The fruit was slow in coming In this morning due to the heavy rain last night which slowed up picking-considerably this morning. Slightly more than two thirds of the packing had been completed today. The car will contain 268 Jumbo cases of melons and will be routed to Kansas City from where it will be rerouted perhaps to New York miy.

mter aoo cases or 45 melons each will be included in each carload. It is expected that, starting Monday, one car a day will be shipped, 6. C. Heston, local Santa i agent said. By the latter part of next week the shipments will be Increased until 4 or 5 cars are sent out daily.

It is probable that nearly 200 car loads of fruit will be shipped from here, W. A. Wunsch, county agent, said. Local growers and agriculturists are interestedly awaiting the salo of the first fruit as an indication as to the expected return. Due to the fact that some ot the crop had to be replanted it is expected that the crop will last until frost.

The cantaloupes are packed In cases bearing a trade label with a picture taken in the Caverns and will be sold under the trade name "La Caverna." The name of the Pecos Valley Paoking company and the United Distributors together with the name Carlsbad, N. appears on the labels. SEEK BAIL FOR LIBBY HOLMANN WINSixjw-SALEM. N. Aug.
