FINE MELONS HIRE.

IN Enormous Crop UH ne Harvested ~,
Logan County This Year.
Oklahoma melon growers will begin
planting in about fifteen days for this
years crop. The acreage, as { whole,
will not exceed that of last year,
which was larger than ever before.
In some localities, however, partieu-
larly around Guthrie, there will be an
Increase in the number OF melon grow
ers. This is due largely to the reputa.
tion that Logan county gained last
season In northern and other markets
as heavy producer OF fine melons.
Logan countY's most noted melon
district Is at Lawrie, IN the valley and
on the hills OF the Skeleton river, a
clear-running tributary Of the Cimar-
ron. The soil there is peculiarly
adapted TO the growing Of melons OF
ane size anu havor. II Is generally
believed that river bottom soils are
n6tEt for melons. At.Lawrie, however,
the best melon soil is on the hills. w.
H.. Merten, the heaviest melon grower
and shipper In Oklahoma, said yester.
day that the outlook for a successful
season was exceedingly good. Melons
require constant supply OF moisture
Considerable damAge was caused last
year by drouth at a certain period OF

suited in q green stresk through the
ripened meat. The subsoil, from
which melons draw their vitality, now
contains about three Zines the mois-
ture that Il did at this time in 1897,
and the effects OF possible dry weather
are less to be feared
The Star recently contained an hrti-
Gle describing the visit of an agent OF
the United states department of agri
culture TO Europe and Asia to secure
seeds and specimens OF melone, fruits,
vegetables and cereals unknown In
this country and adapted TO regions
where the rainfall Is varying and lin
tied. In the article was described a
muskmelon OF unusual size and excel
lent flavor which had been grown sue
cessiully for centuries in Persia. 1t
was thought that this melon might be
valuable addition TO the melo7s
grown in this country. Mr.. Merten
said that this melon was introduced IN
Oklahoma about three years ago and
grown in the Skeleton river melon
fields. Every good point claimed for
the melon was realized; II weighed
from ten TO twelve pounds, was deli
cate and delicious in flavor, and had a
deep, rich meat Its size, however,
had made IL unmarketsble. The pop
ulAr demand is for the small nutme g

that they are the best that can be OBJ

Watermelons can be preserved in
Oklahoma far beyond the growing
season by being stored in dry cellars
and straw stacks. A melon grower al

George Orner, OF Enid, an authority on
