than usual although the entire sea
son has been backward. Speaking
of the expected yield, Mr.. Nichols
said:
1.-THE favorable weather has ad
vanced the growth IF the cantaloup
es until they will begin to ripen at
the usual time. We expect to begin
to ship by the carload as early as
August 10. We are building plat
form and crate warehouse at Swink
station and will probably ship from
that point first. The land in that
vicinity is little warmer on account
of the sandy loan, and 1 look for
some OF the first melops of the sea
son to come from tia. locality. The
outlook is exceedingly favorable and
1 am reasonably certain that the mar.
ket will be good. The yield will not
be far from that of last season, when
800 cars were shipped from this vi
cinity. The farmers have learned to
water the plants sparing while the
melons are growing, and this is Of
great advantagein in shipping. When
too much water is used in irrigating
after the melons are formed the can
tsloupes are softer, for they absorb
the water to an astonishing extent.
We will probably ship 500 cars this
season if nothing happens to injure
the crop. With good yield Of sea-
sonsble melons and good market
there Is no reason why the farmers
should not be happy. I have seen
nothing that is not favorable in
every way to bring about the best
results.
$50 far as the watermelons are
concerned l do not think the crop
will be anywhere near the average.
In the first place the cold and back
ward spring kept the plants from
prospering and many farmers plow
ed up their fields rather than try to
raise late melons. Those that we're
left have not done as we'll as usual,
Sometimes I wonder there will be
enough ripe melons to supply the
needs of Melon Day at the fair, but
we all hope there will he no disap

PORTO RICO ORANGES. = !.
Groves Have Experienced a Wonder
full Growth and Crops viii Be
Unusually Large.

The orange groves of Porto RICO
have experienced a wonderful growth
this year. and the crop will be unusu-
ally large and fine. The fruit itself is
delicious, and as fine as that produced
in the groves of the "State OF the
Golden Gate"
Porto Rico bids fair to become the
orange mart for the states along the
Atlantic seaboard The freight on the
fruit grown in the California groves
is 80 cents per box by rail to the east
ern markets, 10 days in transit, and
the freight on the Florida production
65 per box by rail, and five days in
transit.
From Porto Rico to New York or
Boston markets, the freight is but 20
cents per box, by steamer, and but
four and one-half days in transit.
Therefore there is no reason why
Porto Rico should not cut quite tig-
ure and become the source of supply
for oranges and fruits, for the markets
alcng the Atlantic seaboard, from
Maine to Florida.
A. R. Gibson, who owns a twenty
five acre orange grove ten miles In
land from San Juan, on the island OF
Porto Rico, today received report OF
the crop, which is very encouraging.
The manager of the grove also writes
that he will ship to Mr.. Gibson here
in Santa Fe, ten or twelve boxes OF as
luscious fruit as one could desire.

Peoria, Ills, Oct. 3-One of the i'm
mense cookers of the Corning Distill-
ing company, exploded this morning,

nately the wreckage did not take fire.
