this was too small, and was abandoned for

packed A permanent organization was eff
fected and a committee was appointed to
wait on the gas company and ask restora-
ton of the cid price. In case this be re-
fused, it was the sense of the meeting that
the company should be fought in the
courts. The action of the company is re-
garded as unjust, oppressive and discrimi-
mating. A number of prominent citizens
made speeches against the gas company.

cANTALOUPE CULTURE.
Important Information for Amateur
Growers.


On another page OF this issue
will. be. found an, article from o. B.
Stauffer on Cantaloupe Culture. pub
lished in the April number OF the Arkan-
sas Valley Farmer and Fruit Grower.
Mr.. StauRer's article will be OF great
value to those who are this season grow
ing cantaloupes for the first time.
Knowing that "in a multitude OF oouu-
seloss there is safety" We submitted Mr..
Stauffer's article to one OF our oldest and
most successful growers for $criacism.
He warmly commended the matter in
main but his practice was in some points
at variance with Mr.. Stauffers iustruc-
tions. These differences are as follows:
Would not shovel out the loose dirt in
the irrigating furrows-is unnecessary
and takes too much time.
II You have reliable seed eight seed to
a hill is sufficient, but il your seed is
probably poor Mr.. Stauffer's recoulmen-
dation OF IL to 20 in hill will not be too
many.
Six by Z feet apart is better than by
@ feet.
Planting one-half inch below the
water line ia somewhat indefinite. Seed
should be covered 1-2 inches deep.
Mr.. Stauffer's Recommendation to scat
ter poisoned grain around the cantaloupe
field to destroy gophers, squirrels. etc. is
objected to on the ground that such pro-
miscuous scattering OF poison would de-
stroy many birds that are OF value to the
farmer aud thus more harm be done than
would be prevented by. killing the de-
structive little animals. A better way il
to find the gopher holes and place the
poisoned grain therein.
"A dark heavy green" is not desirable
in cantaloupe or any other plant grown
by irrigation. A pale green is fur prefer
able. When the plants become u dark
green it is an indication that they need
water.
Throwing back the vine and cultivat-
ing under it is not endorsed. The vines
ought not to be disturbed. With proper
cultivation ut the right time there will be
no need for moving the vines. Ifhow-
ever the ground is allowed to get very
weedy use the hoe rather than move
the vines.
Mr.. StaufYer's idea Of making new ir-
r1gating furrow about two feet from the
hill on each side the six foot way, is not
approved. The irrigation furrow should
not be changed during the season. The
reason for this il that the roots grow
very long-grow 30 much faster than the
vine that u plant six inches high will
have root perhaps two feet long. The
roots run long distances and plowing a
new irrigation furrow would break them
in way which would be injurious to the
plant. The habit OF the cantaloupe root
is to keep u uniform depth from the sur
face OF the ground. To keep up this hab.
it it will dodge down under the irrigat-
ing furrow aud como up again, keeping
all the time about the same distance
from the surface. Previous to planting
the Qronnd should be broken up deep
but shallow culture is necessary.
In packing would give no attention to
top or bottom OF crates as from their con-
struction it is difficult to tell which is
which. Each layer should be 81 COM
pact that all movement OF tho canta-
lonpes will be prevented. which in prac-
tice will be found to require some Of the
smaller ones in each layer.
