The growing Of cantaloupes j.
probably the most profitable kind
of agriculture that can be follow
ed in an irrigated district. Th,
melon growers in the Rock Ford
district received an average ne-
return of $50 per acre last year.
The expense of growing and mar,
keting the crop is much less than
in growing sugar beets and the
net returns are much greater.
One man can successfully grow
from six to ten acres and still
have plenty of time to at,
tend to other crops. 1t will cost
but little for the farmers in Scdg-
wick county to organize an assO,
citation and try the experiment OF
growing melons this year, and it
likely to result in establishing. Il
permanent and profitable industry
in the county. 1t is to be hoped
that they will do SO.

There will be not less than two
thousand acres planted to caItaoupes
in northern Colorado this season.
While the growing of this crop for
market is experimental it has been
demonstrated that the melons will
grow here to perfection and-this is a
most important point, meaning thous-
ands OF dollars. to the growers-will
ripen three to five days earlier than
those of Rocky Ford. This has been
demonstrated by many farmers who
simply planted the melons for their
own use. And the early cantaloupe
catches the giltedge price. From fifty
cents to the big dollar-that's what
some northern Colorado grower is to
scoop in. Looks good, don't it?-
