Sources of Melon supply.

From the Farmers Review: Large
quantities OF cantaloupe OF various va
rieties are raised in tho central and
.puthern portion OF this state unless
the crop is injured in some way by ell
matte conditions. Our main early sup
ply, up to two years ago, was grown IN
this section. Extreme southern sec
tions OF the country are going into the
business very heavily this season. yet
their product will be out OF the
way, or will be crowded out by the
Illinois crop when our home product
is ready for shipment. unless for some
reason the quality OF the homegrown
is poor. Large quantities of water
melons are grown in the Carmi Illi-
nois) district, and the last of the Mis-
souri, crop is crowded out OF our mar
ket when the Illinois stock begins
coming, on account OF the difference in
freight. Indiana also ships quite
heavily to this market at about the
same time the Illinois crop is being
harvested The Rockyford cante-
loupes grown in Colorado are OF su-
perior quality to those grown farther
East, unless climatic conditions are
bad during the ripening of the melons
Crop was short all round last season
and very high prices ruled. The acre
age will be very large this season, and
it is probable that results will be salts
factory to growers, although consump-
ton has increased very largely in the
last few years-C. II. Weaver, Chi

there is no pasturing for them.
Virginia-The condition of spring
pastures over the state is hardly up
to the average the growth Of grass
having been scanty in most localities.
Maryland and Delaware - The
growth Of timothy has been retarded
by cool weather and lack of sunshine.
The seeding OF clover is in progress.
Early sowings which are up are well
set
Kansas-Pastures are fair in south
ern counties and cattle on them are
doing well, but in northern counties
they were kept back by the cool dry
weather which prevailed previous to
the Goth.
Ohio-Timothy and clover ere grow
ing slowly. Pastures are backward
South Dakota-Grass has been very
backward, but began to show growth
the third week in April, and 1t is be-
ginning to afford some pasturage.

Illinois Soil survey.

The United States Bureau Of Soils
and the University OF Illinois are
jointly undertaking the soil survey of
Illinois. Work has begun in Tazewell
County. In doing this work it is nee
essary to proceed slowly, ard take
samples of the soil from the surface
to depth of three to six feet Soil
maps will be made. which will show
the location Of all the different classes
OF soils. The samples are to be taken
by means OF augers. The experiment
station at Champaign will supplement
the soil survey by means OF analyses
Of samples of the soil taken. This
work is certain to he of great value to
the farmers of the state, as 1t will
make more intelligent treatment of
TIE soils possible. 1t Is expected that
1000 square miles of soil will be sur
yeyed this season.

Plants for the Children.

Each one of our experiment stations
adds its quota to the list of new enter.
prises. In recent public document.
the station at Mesilla Park, New Mex
leo, states that it is anxious to do all
in its power to aid in the work of beau.
tifying the surroundings of the rural
schools Of New Mexico. To this end it
is willing to send. free Of charge, a
small supply of such trees, shrubs, and
plants as it has available to the au-
thorities or teachers of rural schools
of New Mexico who apply for the same.
1t has already sent out stock for such
purposes. 1t is expected, OF course.
that where such stock is sent out. it
will be cared for and watered when
necessary. There is natural gravita.
tion toward the rural schools. through
which the station work becomes ex-
ceedingly effective. The New York sta
tion at Cornell is doing a similar work
in sending out flower seeds for dstri
button among the scholars of the state.

Fruit Exhibits Mt Institute.

From Farmers Review: From what
observation have been able to make
| believe that exhibits at Farmers In
stitutes interest many farmers and
their wives that cannot be reached in
any other way. They take pride in
bringing the best product from the
field. garden or pantry, and in this
manner become a part Of the institute,
and after they have attended one ses-
sion they are convinced that it is a
good place to be and after receiving
good cash premiums they go home
feeling that some one has been work
ing for them. In this way many far
mers become interested and make
good workers for the cause. II no ex-
hibits had been made these same far
mers would have remained at home
entirely ignorant of what Farmers
institute consisted of or what benefits
were to be derived from them.-Ed-

Advantage, of "so,l,nx.-

Prof. w. A. Henry, in his book on
Feeds and Feeding" says: by soil
ing" is meant supplying forage fresh
from the fields to farm stock more or
less confined. The first American wri-
ter to bring this subject to the atten-
tlon of our people was Josiah Quincy,
whose essays in 1920 were later gath
cred into book entitled the "Soiling
of Cattle" now out of print. Quincy
points out six distinct advantages from
soiling: First, the saving of land:
second. the saving Of fencing; third,
the economizing Of food; fourth, the
better condition and greater comfort
of the cattle; fifth. the greater product
of milk; sixth, the attainment Of ma
nure. According to this author there
are six ways in which farm animals
destroy the articles destined for their
food. First, by eating; second. by
walking; third. by dunging; fourth, by
stating; fifth, by lying down; sixth.
by breathing on 1t. OF these six, the
first one only is useful; all the others
are wasteful. Quincy reports his own
experience where twenty cows. kept
in stalls, were fed green food supplied
six times day. They were allowed
exercise in the open yard. These TWEEN
ty cows subsisted ON the green crops
from seventeen acres of land. where
fifty acres had previously been re-
quired.

A Potato Crop Episode.

Mr.. d. c. Prosser. a correspondent
Of the Farmers Review in Oceana
County. Michigan. tells how a neigh
Dor OF his made fine thing out OF
potato crop. Some years ago he had q
sood-sized crop and held it for the
late spring market. He overdid the
holding to such an extent that the
market dropped on him, on account Of
tie near approach Of the TINA for new
potatoes. Instead of letting go the
owner OF the old potatoes rented all
the land he could In the neighborhood
and succeeded In getting in 120 acres
Of potatoes. thus using the bulk of his
old crop for seed. The harvest gave
him good crop-about $4,000 BUSH
els. These he sold at good price. and
SO made large profit on the opera
ton.

THE BULL FIGHTER.
He Is The Real Popular Hero of
Spain.

You could never mistake a bull-fghter
for man of any other calling. He
enforces upon himself a street costume
the details of which are as immutable
as those of a soldiers uniform; his hair
must be brushed forward over his ears,
he must be smooth-shaven, he must
wear tiny pig-tail, his jacket may not
come below his waist-line. His shirt
is deeply t1uted, and in it's front he
wears as magnificent diamond as his
earnings and the gifts of his admirers
can supply. When he walks the streets
on his high French heels, glancing self
consciously from beneath his at-brim-
med sombrerO, he is followed on every
side by pointed fingers. To sit with
him at cafe table is a distinction, and
the youngest of Madrids golden youth
flush with pleasure when in public
places he mods to them. At the fashion,
able hour in the Prado they give him
the seat of honor in the automobile. 1t
is a survival of the relations of the
patron" and the gladiator. And in re-
turn for this social recognition when
Sunday comes, the matador before he
kills the bull, bows to the box in which
his rich patron sits, and throws him his
three cornered hat, and by so doing fills
with envy the hearts of $4,000 men.

calves and his cloth OF gold have upon
