Today the membership Of the G. A.
Fl is 235 600, or about one third of the
living veterans of the Union armies
during the civil war, who now number
approximately zoo, 1000. OF these old
veterans, death is at present carrying
off an average of 5000 a month. The
reports of the commissioner of pensions
for April show that during that month
there were dropped from the pension
roll total Of 1884 because of death. or
course by no means all OF the 700 900
living veterans are on the pension rolls
so that more than 5000 deaths among
pensioners In one month alone shows
terrible inroads among the veterans.
The cause Of the remar kable In.

seeming general awakening among old

The Cocoanuf.

The cocoanut tree is the most useful
OF all plants in the tropical region. Its
seed furnishes food and an intoxicating
drink. The shell gives drinking cups

The trunk furnishes wood for dwell

COLORADO CANTALOUPE.
A Rust Resistant strain seems 60
Have been DeveIoped.


The cantaloupe rust or blight has for
number Of years seriously injured
the cantaloupe industry In Colorado in
the vicinity Of Rocky Ford. In dry sea-
sons the disease may not excite much
notice, while In seasons subject to rains
and dews its development is very dis
astrous to the crop. The disease is
caused by parasitic fungus (Macros-
porium cueumerinum} Attempts by
the state experiment station to control
the disease by the use of bordeaux
mixture have failed.
Plants Immune to Rust.
In 1908 1t was observed that some of
the plants In n number of fields which
had been grown from single strain of
seed were much more resistant to the
rust than others. Seed from these Inn
mune plants was obtained and plant
ed In 1904 and likewise in 1905. 4
large proportion of the seed from these
rust resistant plants produced
healthy growth of vines and large solid
melons with firm flesh and small seed
cavities completely filed with seed,
while unsolicited seed produced plants
greatly injured by the rust, with small
melons which ripened prematurely,
thin watery flesh, large open seed cavi-
ties and of practically no market value.
Uron investigation 1t was found that
the rust resistant Plants traced back
TO an accidental selection made some
nine years before by j. F. Pollock.

In selecting muskmelons for seed at
tention should be paid to quality as
well az rust resistance. Muskmelons.
