There is nothing waiting hero tp bo trucked to the states. Watkins’ trip wap jiast a holiday idea. He headed north with six tons of melons and no particular destination in mind. The track stayed together, so he kept going. Twelve days out of the Imperial valley, Watkiha pulled into Fair banks, sweltering in mid 90 tem perature. The melons had cost $70 a ton. The first week, his selling price here was 25 cents a pound. Later he dropped the tag to 10 cents. A risk of the trade is the possi bility of losing all of the perish able cargo if the truck breaks dowm* “You can’t sell your load,” explains Watkins, “if you break dowri in Canada. ■ The Canadian government has *h embargo on U.
