out of their melon crops" said visitor.

only Is cents a dozen for canteloupes,
and no farmer can sell them at that
price and make money.
"Out in Colorado they do things differ
entity Rocky Ford is the center of the
melon industry of that State. The far
mers have an association for selling their
melons. To this association they turn
over their produce. and through the 20
cal and out Of town agents the melons
are sold. BY following tins method the
farmers are relieved of the work of find-
ing pur chasers and actually receive bet
ter prices than they could get in any
other way. Farmers in other sections of
the south are adopting this plan of dis
posing of fruit and garden truck and the
sooner Alabama producers organize the
sooner will they get living prices for
what they. have to sell"

First Bale OF Cotton.

A special dispatch to the Galveston
News from San Antonio announces the
arrival there OF the first bale of the
new crop. 1t was grown by w. B.
Adams of Medina County in south
eastern Texas, and was ginned at
Devine last Saturday. 1t weighs $50
pounds, and is classed as strict good
middling.
Only twice before has Texas pro-
duced a June bale, and this goes to
show that the late start of the crop
has not interfered with early maturity.
Last years first bale came from Me-
dina County, arriving at Houston June
%. In 1900 the first bale was received
June 26. These days seem to show
that the present crop is about five days
late only.
Quite rivalry arose between two
bales, the one being carried to Houston
from San Patricio County, and the
other being the Devine bale. The De-
vine bale was carried to San Antonio,
from whence it was shipped by rail
direct to New York. The Devine bale
seems to be entitled to the honors.
Medina County lies next west of
Bexar County, in which is the city of
San Antonio. Two counties separate
Medina County from the Rio Grande.
1t is hot down there, but It is good
cotton county. The Southern Pacific
and the International Great Northern
traverse the county. Devine being a
station on the latter road The first
bale shipped from Devine is to be sold
in New York for the benefit Of the
Devine Manual Training School.

In mediately he sent his order to another

A Prominent Engineer.

srs:. yesterday III birmingham. He is
one of the best known civil engineers In
the United States and his speciality is in
the line of park weak. He is the engineer
of the Kansas City parks, the Memphis
parks, the Toledo parks. the st. Louis
exposition. and the Frisco Systems ex-
perimental farm.
Mr. Kessler is a botanist and arbori-
culturist as well as an engineer. The
Frisco farm embraces 5000 acres and is
used for experimenting with timber with
a view to getting the best resuAes in cross
ties and other railroad construction wood.
Kansas City has more park acreage,
perhaps, than any city of it's size in the
United States. Memphis will some day
have attractive parks. The city has re-
Gently bought two wooded tracts of 4Oe
acres each inside the corporate liwits. In
charge of the park work but in quite a
number of them a special engineer is
employed.
Mr. Kessler left last night for Memphis.
His visit to Birmingham was altogether
personal and therefore had no connection
with professional matters.

Sam w. Small in Atlanta Constitution.
In 1878 was at the Universal EXPOSE

ously interesting section devoted to the
exhibition of the industries, manufac-
lures and arts of our great republic. We
were naturally proud of it, for in spite
of the niggardly provision of means by
Congress. General Mccormick had in
spired the enthusiasm of the best pro-
ducers in the United States and gather
ed the best exhibit in quality that this
country, with the added experiences Of
the Centennial in 1876 could supply.
1t was at the exposition that 1 first
met personally the Prince and Princess
of Wales, now King Edward VII. and
Queen Alexandra of the British Empire.
Afterward 1 had the honor to receive
a remembrance from the Prince in the
form of signed photograph and an in
vitation to meet him and company of
friends as guests of Lord Lyons at a
dinner in the British embassy
