In presenting the extent and profits Of
eantaloupe culture tho watermelon should
not be forgotten. It's the luscious water
melons.
Those ruby hearted monsters.
With their swelling. gen'rous roundness,
With their juice like heavenly nectar,
With their seeds Of ebon blaekness,
With their rinds so smoothly polished.
With their tnts Of mottled greenoess,
Aud their luscious toothsome sweetness,
Than Of honey three times sweeter."
which first gave Rocky Ford state and
national fame. The watermelon cannot
be shipped all over the union. as can the
cantaloupe, but its high standard Of ex-
cellence and Senator Swink's happy
thought in the Inauguration Of Watermelon
Day has linked the words watermelon and
Rocky Ford in inseparable and pleasant
relation. For the past few years the
watermelon has had to take back seat
for the popular. profit-making cantaloupe,
so much so that during the early portions
Of some seasons fears have been ex-
pressed that not enough would be planted

Day. But this has never happened and
never will. As well suppose that the
people Of the United States might forget
to celebrate Fourth Of July as for Rocky
Ford to neglect to perpetuate Watermelon
Day.
When Senator Swink appointed the first
Watermelon Day and served a wagon load
Of "Swink" melons on the door Of Santa
Fe freight car. he had no conception Of the
future fame Of Colorado's original fall fes-
tiyal. now an institution Of more than ma
tional fame. Watermelon Day and Rocky
Ford's continuously successful fair have
been important factors in the development
Of this portion Of the Arkansas valley.
The thousands who were attracted by
Watermelon Day saw the fair exhibits
which impressed on them the resources Of
the country for the production Of large
and highly profitable crops. Our visitors
made second visit later on tours Of in
vestigation and finding that the Rocky
Ford country would stand the strictest
scrutiny sold their possessions in the east
and became permanent and prosperous
settlers.

OF Cantaioupe Shipments
for 1908.
Al Growers Did Not Oct Rich.

THE truth Of history" requires US to
informo our nonresident readers that every
cantaloupe grower did not make the big
profits given elsewhere in this issue.
Some made only fairly good money. and
some none at all. The early frost largely
destroyed many fields in which harvesting
had only commenced. Nevertheless. the
figures OF actual cash returns received by
large ma jority OF the growers prove that
eantaloupes are a most profitable crop TO
raise. The losses by the frost this year
will not prevent larger acreage than
ever before in 1904. The demand for the
