The growing of cantaloupes is one
of the most profitable branches OF farm
ing in the Rocky Ford country when
favorable conditions prevail. This is
evidenced by the results of G. j. Samples
crop this past season. He leased Of SEN
ator Swink SO acres adjoining town, Civ
ing one-third of the crop as rent. Mr..
Samples gathered the cantaloupes two
days, then Mr.. Swink one day, alternat-
ing thus through the season. Mr..
Samples received for two-thirds OF the
crop s5S5. This was after paying ex-
press charges. It is presumed that Mr..
Swink's one third brought proportionate
returns, which would be 1892. Here we
have net product from 81 acres OF
eS77. (Mr. Samples returns would have
been greater but for the shipment of SO
crates to a Leadville commission man
from whom he has received no pay) Mr..
Samples cash outlay for crates and hired
labor was only $50. A product of $3.50
per acre is worth Boosting Of But in
justice to the facts it must be said that
all canteloupe growers did not do as well
as Mr.. Samples. He planted early and
in the beginning of the season had a
whole week in which he enjoyed mon
opoly of shipments from Rocky Ford.
But year by year our melon growers are
becoming wiser in regard TO marketing
their products and the business is des-
tined to be one of continuous popularity
and profit. .'.'.s

mischief. There was a general transfer
of movable property from the owners
premises to some distant part of town and
considerable damage done to out houses,
etc. The wheels were taken from bug
