AS the effort to colonize negroes
In Liberia is not working satisfac-
torily, it might be feasible to induce
them to go to the Messilla valley, in
Mexico, where the largest water
melons are grown. 1t is said that
farmer in that valley had no wagon
strong enough to take one to mar
ket, so he had to cut slices out of it
with a crosscut saw as they were
needed for home consumption. But
one of them became too ripe; it
burst and washed away all the lower
acres of his farm. No lives were
lost, but much damage was done, as
the food rushed down th8irsigation
ditches. This story is voucned for
by an exchange whose editor wears
