A man starting from Denver may find

The Rocky Ford melon will grow any

very profitable crop. especially in connee-
ton with the cultivation Of the sugar
beet, the work necessary to the cultiya-
ton Of both crops SO dovetailing that one
man may handle both crops.

Of record that the past season the Santa
Fe carried s25 cars, or $4,000 crates
of forty-five melons each, out Of the val
ley. The number raised is about loo
crates to the acre, and the price is about
e5 cents per crate, that is, the farmer
gets this price. At the prevailing prices
the farmer sometimes makes Sloo an

Honey from the alfalfa bloom is clear
as crystal and exquisite in flavor. In
every section Of the valley where the
famer will take up the matter Of alfalfa
