we got up 10 La Junta ana ROcK1
Ford early ia the morning in time t.
see the melon growers in that famous
section o. of the country getting ou'
melons for shipment. They raise s
finer nutmeg than we do here but the
waternelons are inferior to those
raised in Edwards County in every
particular. They raise almost 'ex
clusively long dark green melon be
cause it is easily served on the table
slice accommodating itself conveuien-
tly to a plate. You see NO 'etner vari-
ETY. of watermelons in market in the
Colorado cities.
That country has nothing superior
to this in soil and climate but they ir-
rigate extensively and the result is
emerald fields of alfalfa every where
interspersed with thriving young orch
ards ana truck patches. La Junta
people say money is plenty TOR a hard
times season all through there.

sands of men when they run and a

Denver is Il beautiful city and as long
