We think letters of the kind
written by Mr.. Gibson mislead-
ing and detrimental to your grow
ers. 1t creates an imaginary feel
ing that is hard to overcome and
causes them to lose track and
sight of all competitors and all
things that may arise to handicap
the sale of these melons.
Now we want you to understand
us correctly: We think the Rocky
Fords the finest melons in the
world and we have backed it up
by our money, but when you talk
about every man, woman and
child in the United States going
to sacrifice everything but their
lives and their homes for the priv
ilege of buying the Rocky Ford
melons, you are misleading your
selves.
There are great many people
who are in sympathy with the
home grown product against all
foreign countries or states, appre-
ciating the fact that the home
producer and farmer must realize
a livelihood from some source,
and to let other states come in
with their product and destroy the
home industry would be driving a
man to starvation who has always
been willing and still is willing
to earn his livelihood by hard
work.
If your melons were as cheap
as the home grown they would
prevail in large proportions, but
as it is at the present time, there
is only small percentepe of our
good people who will pay the
price and 60 along contented.
You are bound to face, if not
at the present time, in the
near future, another product as n
competitor, and one that will be a
destroyer and one that it will take
hard work to overcome. One or
the other must change. The out
put must be lessened or the price
lowered, as the commodity will
not maintain the enormous ship
ments that are now being contem-
plated at the enormous price now
being paid. Nat WETzEL.

To the Editor OF the Enterprise:
We note in one of your recent
issues letter signed w. r. Glib
son, quoting imaginary prospects
for the Rocky Ford melons,
There has never been any who
has advocated the great future for
the melons more earnestly than
ourselves, but we think Mr.. Glib
son is carrying it way beyond i'm
aginary prospects. He ls quoting
conditions that do not exist, nor
cannot exist. We note that he
quotes 10 or IL large cities and a
great many large states, but he
does not say anything about the
millions of acres tributary to each
of these that produce melons and
which will continue to produce
them.
What are these farmers that
rnise their melons for livelihood
going to do, if none other than the
Rocky Fords are going to be used
in the future? He does not say
that every time you enter a mar
ket you have as competitors in
that market all the growers trib-
utary to that market, and these
farmers are going to declare war
and swear vengeance with fair
prospects. He does not quote the
result of a battle of this kind with
a producer on the ground, who
can raise pretty good melon and
market it with one-hundredth
part of the expense we have in
marketing the Rocky Fords, and
these people are willing to take
one-half the price for their pro-
duct that we are paying for the
Rocky Fords.
When we pay 81 per crate for
the Colorado melons, with all ad-
ditional expense for transporta-
ton, the chances we take and the
money we outlay for telegraphing,
commission and general advertis-
ing, this added to the original cost
of these melons, makes it 80 that
only the rich can afford to partake

A marked reactionary time of

18th to 22d. AS we enter this
period it will grow very warm and
falling barometer with other storm
conditions will appear. The 10Th
to 22d will in every probability

of the country with numerous hail
storms and many magnificent cleo
trical displays at night. The
sudden changes to very cool.
characteristic of the Venus storms
will be noticeable after all the
storms during the last half of
June. Far to the north light
frosts after hail and thunder
storms are quite probable. We
believe that one of the most active
storm periods in June will fall be-
tween the 23d and 2sth. The
central days will be Saturday,
25th to Monday, 9th. We re-
peat our prediction of seasonal
rains to most parts in June and
much of July. Lowlandsi in many
quarters will have too much rain,
exceptions will be mostly to the
west and northwest. Beginning
the latter part of July, look for
general and excessive dryness and
heat, being the most intense and,
of course, doing the most damage
to crops in northwestern sections
where they are not fully matured
and harvested. The hail storms
naturally to be expected during
the Venus period, especially IN
July, are most to be feared in the
same northwestern sections. Any
prudential steps to prevent or off
set losses therefrom, it seems to
us, would be businesslike and
