EXPERIMENTS WITH MELONS.
Efforts to Proioug the Season OF the
MockY Fords.

Rocky Fords.
Cantaloupe growing has become so
profitable in Colorado since the popu-
larity of the Rocky Ford melon was
established that extensive experiments
have been made with a view of pro-
longing the period of the crop, but
with small success. 1t was thought
that hotbed propagation would hasten
maturity and produce early fruit
Tn" seed was put into the hot beds
carly in April. a month before the
tine Of seed planting, in the open
fields. Some of it was put in cans,
40 arranged that the plants could be
taken from them without disturbing
the roots, because it was found diff
cult to transplant them successfully
when the roots were at all disturbed.
The experiment was not great sue
coss. But SO per cent of the plants
transferred from the beds without sup
port survived, and from the can
grown plants. 95 per cent of which
lived on after the transfer, the first
ripe melon was taken only one day
earlier than from the plants fortified
In omen ground and only four days
earlier than those grown without any
fertilizer The only promising feature
Of the experiment Was that the fruit
of the transplanted vines ripened in
quantity rather faster than that on the
others and that these plants gave more
melons than the rest. OF course the
melon industry in Colorado has its
particular BIZ IS and parasites to fight.
Cantaloupe blight parasitic fungus
shown in brown spots, which when
they first appear on the leaves are only
the size of a pinhead is the growers
chief enemy. But there are other
pests. notably the flea beetle, the
striped cucumber beetle. the melon
louise and the geometer worm. Keep
ing these down provides endless labor
in the melon fields while the crop is
growing and materially affects the
profits of the growcrs.-New York Sun.

BIRDS AFRAID OF A MIRROR.
May To Kept Away From the Fruit
Trne..

Il learned trick while in the Phil

as far as | could observe. practical. It
consists in hanging small mirror on
the top limbs Of the tree. There
should be at least six inches of string
to the mirror, so that 1t can swing
about as It is blown by the wind. The
flash of the mirror, it appears. scares
the birds aw"y. One or two five-cont
mirrors hung on a tree Is sufficient,
though, OF course. three or four would
be much better. | was told that this
method had worked in the Philippines
successfully for many years, and that
the birds do not grow familiar with it
as they do with scarecrow. Since
my return here | find that the mirror
scare is not unknown here and that Il
has been In use by Michigan fruit
growers for many years. | have tried

SENDING OUT PIGEONS.
Passengers on steamers Have Messages
Carried by Birds.


An interesting pigeon-post is that
adopted on the steamers of the Com
pagnie Generate Transatlantique. Since
March, 1898. passengers by these steam
ers from America have been enabled
to communicate with their friends
when 300 miles and more from port
by pigeons. AS an instance of the
swift flight OF the birds 1t Is interest
Ing to note that on July 20, 1900, the
pigeons that left the Touraine at s
a, m arrived at p. m. the same day,
after having travelled 324 miles; and
on Sept Q last 10 birds sent from the
Lorraine at 5 a. m. reached home in
the evening, after fight of 359 miles,
bringing with them % kilograms from
passengers. During last year 1870 pas
sengers by this company's steamers
paid for messages carried by the birds.
The messages are photographically re-
duced to microscopic dimensions and
mounted on thin film" three cent?
metres in breadth and five in length.
This, carefully rolled, is placed in a
small celluloid tube and attached by a
light kid band. provided with an auto
matte button, such as one secs on
gloves, to the birds leg. On arrival
the photograph is enlarged. each dis
patch being printed separately and
sent to its final destination. many
hours before the steamer arrives.

CROPS ARE ALL RIGHT
Lateness of Spring, While Unusua
is Not Serious.
HARDNESS WILL BE COUNTERACTED
Iowa Is Too Great State and Its In.
terests Are Too Greatly Diversified
to Suffer From a Backward Sea-
son.

"The lateness of the season this
spring will not interfere with Iowa 3
crop production for the year." is the
reassuring statement made by j. r.
Sage of Des Moines, director of the
Iowa Climate and Crop Service, of the
national department of agriculture.
I'VE are from ten days to two weeks
behind the average Iowa spring and
the backward weather might have a
tendency to work injury, but do net
believe that it will. Compared with
some former years we are three weeks
behind this season, but the Iowa eli
mate is such that we are nearly al
ways given a chance to catch up be-
fore it is too late.
with the advent of warm weather
crops will go booming, and the tardi-
ness will be counteracted. The rec
ords of the past show that no matter
how discouraging the outlook has
been at times the weather took turn
and summer came upon us suddenly,
then the buds swelled, the seeds
sprouted and in few days the season
was as far advanced as if the develop
ment had started on time and been
more steady and continued.

will not work financial hurt to the ag-
ricultural interests of Iowa. Last
year was the banner corn year of the
states history, but the prospects are
| just as bright and as encouraging
this year as they have ever been.

we have lost thus far this year.
The reports from the different sec
lions of the state received at the local
crop service office show that the work
OF blowing, seeding and planting is
well under way. The official crop bul-
letin for the past week, issued today
by Director Sage. is as follows:
The past week was unseasonably
cold, the mean temperature ranging
from 5 to s degrees below normal Ice
formed on several mornings, and at
| several stations in the northern sec.
ton minimum temperatures were re
ported 10 to II degrees below freez-
ing. The rainstorm on the 10th and
18th was quite general, and in some
localities sufficiently heavy to retard
field work two or three days.
But despite adverse conditions fair
progress has been made in all dis
tricts. Spring wheat seeding is com
pleted, and except in limited areas
where the soil is very wet and the
work of sowing oats and barley is
nearly finished In some localities
seeding has been done while the sol
was too wet for best results.
; 1.-THE cold weather has retarded
termination of seed and growth Of
/ grass, but no material injury is re
4 ported. Fruit buds are generally be
lieved to be healthy and promising.
