Excerpt from Trends of Muskmelon Production and Prices by Areas: With Particular Reference to Northeastern States In the longer run, a lower level of prices compared with the war years of the l94o's but higher than prices prevailing from 1931 - 39 seems probable. Production will probably increase to the high levels reached in the late twenties. Areas most likely to expand production are the Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific, and Midwestern areas and the eastern part of the Southern area Greatest increases are likely in the Southern Pacific area although production increases there and also in parts of the South and in the Northeast are contingent on more adequate disease con trol and the improvement of quality and yields. In geneial, areas with good yields of high quality and with multi - variety production may be expected to expand production. Prospects are unfavorable in areas where yields and quality are low and where summer melons are produced for sur plus shipment to other areas. A program for improving quality and yields is suggested.
