thriving gardening community. the Rocky
Ford cantaloupe ranking among the most
profitable crops grown. This season Mr..
Hale shipped for Mr. Woods fifty cars.
which averaged the growers net return
Of So per standard crate. and this after
paying transportation charges to Chicago
Of $500 per car. containing $50 crates.
Mr.. Hale arrived in California ten days
before tho crop was ready for shipment
and pleasantly employed tho time in a
tour Of the Pacific coast, visiting many
cities. Ra found tho climate in great
contrast with that in tho desert. where
tho Thermometer ranged from 100 10 1873
in tho shade. However. cool nights made
tho heat endurable.
Tho shipment of ean,aioupes from
Coaehelle began juno and ended July
20. so that however extensive tho busi-
ness may become Il can never conflict
with tho Rocky Fords. II. D. Garwood
was Mr. Woods fist representative in
California. three years ago. and made tho
first year decided success, which was
maintained by K. /. Aumford las; year
and !. D. Hale this season.
Mr. Hale says that tho season in Cali
iofnia would have been greater success
bu; for tho adoption Of tho packing shed
system. BY this method tho ean,sloupas
arc brought from the fields TO sheo and
there Grated. This. Mf, Hale says. has
been tried in Texas and elsewhere and
found failure. Ths frequen; handling
which the system requires and tho hurry
IN packing ., the shed causes SO many
bruised melons. Tho only correct way ts
Tor each grower to pack in his own shed.
The enervsiing climate below sea level
did not cause Mr.. Hale To lose his regular
Colorado hustle and he did some real es-
state speculation which was profitable.
On tho re;uIn trip portions Of Old Mexico.
Texas and Erisbna were visited. On ar
rival a; home Mr.. Hala was much pleased
with tho condition Of tho can,sloupa crop.
He has never seen the yines moro sigor-
Gus. Tho main crop. he says. will be ls;o
1ut tho outlook for tho usual oa;pG; is
most excellent
This season Mr.. Hale has general
supervision over Lyons & coggins' b1si-
ness throughout tho valley. with head
quarters at l. r. Fonlason's Office.

Dodge Hale few days since returned
from aten weeks stay in California where
he went to look after the cantaloupe bus
mess Of H. Woods Of Chicago. The can
taloupe industry which Mr. Hale was
experimenting is new one which has
suddenly sprung into Importance. The
district in which the melons are grown
was until three years ago known as
worthless desert And it would have re-
mained such but for the discovery that
artesian water was plentiful under the
burning sands. Now Coachella, "a feet

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard Of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart failure.
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation Of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver. stimulate the
nervous and organize action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only need
a few doses Of Green's August Flower
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there Is nothing serious the matter
with you. You can get this reliable
remedy at DR.. +. Wenz drug store.
Price 25c and 75c.
