SAYS MELONS PAY WELL
Melon Raising Long Been Thought
a Profitable Business in Rio
Grande Valley.
HOW Mr.. ALLAIRE PROVED IT
He Thinks the Industry Will Be
come a Big One in This
Valley.

1t has long been thought that
growing melons might be made
profitable in the Rio Grande val.
ley. Z. Il. Allaire, the San Anto-
MO merchant, writes interesting
letter 10 the Albuquerque Jour
nal and says:
planted about one and one
half acres in various sorts OF
melons in 1906 as an experiment
and to supply the local demand.
] got good crop and the quail
ty was first class, but kept no
account OF the cash result.
This season | planted little
over two acres but on account
OF an alkali strip on one side of
my patch the acreage was re-
duced to two acres or less.
kept an account of the sales
this year which will reach fully
S400 from the two acres. sold
only at wholesale prices to dealers
here, in San Marcial. Magdalena
and Carthage, so that the results
are on a commercial basis. These
results are not as big as claimed
in other localities, but they
are authentic and big enough to
satisfy any farmer. A large
part of my crop was not able
to sell and that portion of it
was a loss. Ny whole object in
taking an interest in this matter
is to encourage an industry that
will prove profitable and result
in immigration into the valley
of class of people that we need
and increased value for land and
all other property. am getting
along too far in years to engage
largely in new enterprises but /
am just as anxious to see this
valley take on new life as if |
was 25 years younger, and not
only that but to do all / can to
bring it about.
Intelligent farmingi is required
for melon growing. The Sc
lection of the seed, the harvest
ing of the fruit, the handling,
packing, shipping and selling re-
quire brains and business capacity
and integrity. Otherwise the
whole project will be a failure. |
am speaking now of growing for
the eastern market, the same as
Rocky Ford. Our local merchants
are far to small to seriously con-
slider. Success depends on proper
soil, planting, cultivation; but
more important still is to grow
the best strains that sell for the
best prices in in the east. Fruit
that will sell on a glutted market
and leave a profit for the grower
after all expenses are paid. Ii
must be handled to avoid all bruis-
ing. Ii must never see the sun
shine after packing in crates sys-
tematically, so as to avoid bruis-
ing in transit, so that when pre-
sented to the consumer in Chi
cago or New York our melons
will be the best obtainable. Il is
easily seen that this is no buSi-
ness for careless men. Up to the
present time | had an idea that it
was necessary to form an asso-
citation OF growers and thereby
secure local refrigerator service,
but this seems to be "A difficult
matter on account of the scattered
location Of growers and the diff
Guilty of getting sufficient acreage
to pledge to warrant the railroad
in putting on refrigerator cars.
We have daily express service
and | believe arrangements can
be made through that medium.
With this each grower can act
independently and sell in the
market as ha sees fif

| oVERSTOCKING OF THE NANCE.
1T has been contended that a
lease law is necessary in order to
protect the range from over
pasturage. My friends, whom
would you be more willing to
trust, to whose judgment would
any sensible man be willing to
trust the question of whether or
not the range was overstocked-
to the owner, whose money and
energy is invested, who knows
and is familiar with every foot
Of the ground, the man who
hires aud pays the labor, the
man who knows every item Of ex-
pense and of profit-or would
you submit il TO some govern
mental expert or inspector, who
really knows nothing about your
local conditions? | think it is
safe to say that if the range be-
comes overstocked in any partic-
ular locality, the owners them
selves, the stock raiserS, will
promptly remedy the matter by
going out of business, because il
does not pay to undertake to
raise sheep or cattle on an over
stocked range. These matters
will regulate themselves by the
natural laws of profit and loss
much better than any regulation
possible by the government.
1t cannot be said that the
lease law could in any way pro-
tect the rights of settlers. In
fact | cannot see that lease law
can be of any benefit. 1t will
without doubt interfere with the
actual settler, the home builder.
The leasing of the public do
main naturally carries with it
the right of fencing. The home
builder seeking a homestead to
cultivate and build up a home
for himself and family will ma
turally feel timid when he is con-
fronted with the necessity OF fill
ing his homestead in the center
OF some great pasture, surround
ed by leased lands, the privilege
of which have been leased.
My friends, it is an entirely
mistaken idea that the stock
growers are disposed to inter
fere with the actual settler or
home builder. We believe in the
open door policy, in the doctrine
of the survival of the fittest, the
greatest good for the greatest
number, and whenever the soil
of New Mexico has sufficient
moisture to justify the home
builder and the tiller of the soil
in developing the same, we will
gladly welcome him and give
him every assistance possible.
May God hasten the day when
the dew drops from heaven may
be permitted to fall in sufficient
quantity to furnish sufficient
moisture to germinate the soil so
that every acre within the con-
fines of this territory may bring
forth bountiful harvests of corn
and oats, wheat and rye, for ex-
port and sale in the markets of
the world. Then will the true
greatness of this commonwealth
be recognized; then will this ter
ritory be given its due recogni-
tion as potential fac tor of the
states of the union"
