FOR MELON GROWERS.
How You Can Tell When a canta
Ioupe 10 Ready to Pick.

While 1t is not difficult matter to
tell when a cantaloupe is ripe, yet it
requires considerable skill and ex.
perience to be able to Judge just the
right time or stage at which the melon
will ripen nicely and reach the mar
ket in good condition. The practice
Of allowing them to get ripe or yellow
on the vines, except in very cool
weather, destroys both the fine flavor
and the crisp freshness Of the flesh, as
well as their ability to stand shipping
to market. AS soon as the melon be.
gins to ripen, especially Of the small
fruited kinds, the stems crack slightly
away from the melon, and sometimes
few small drops of bright, red Juice
appears in the cracks, rendering it
more noticeable. AS soon as this
crack appears the melon should be
picked and shipped to market. The
melons should be picked every morn
ing while it is vet cool, If possible,
and on very hot days the patch should
be gone over again In the afternoon.
They should be picked much closer on
hot day than on cool one, as the
state of the weather has direct in
fluence on their ripening--hardly ia
melon being gathered on a cool day
from the same number of hills that
would yield basket full on hot one.

MANUAL TRAINING.

One of our next club measures
fancy, will be to provide for manual
training in our public schools" is
what club woman writes and Mrs.
Butterfield, who we understand is
chairman of the Second district edu-
cational committee, will approve the
action, so it will have staunch and
true friend to launch out with An
educational day program will per-
haps be outlined and printed in
Echoes. The university spirit that
was inspired at Moscow, will peni-
trate the entire club world of the
state for the rapid advancement of
all educational work. Word comes
to us that the general atmosphere
of the entire Moscow meet was fine,
though the attendance was not very
good. They are fine, strong women
up there. 1t was good thing for
the women of the south to visit the
north and its club women"

This club is beginning the year
with flattering prospects of fulfilling
the expectations of each and all of
it's members. The history and liter
ature department meet twice a
month, the department of economics
and Kensington every third Monday.
They are held at the homes of the
leaders, Mrs. Dan Jones and Mrs.
Will Mitchell, while the general
meeting the first Monday, is always
at the home Of the president, Mrs.
Hoover. AT these meetings subjects
OF both the departmnts are talked
about In October, Mrs. Wilson

cured since last reported to- the
Echoes. On October 18th the club
met with Mrs. w. G. Lambert. The
meeting was called to order by the
president. Roll call was responded
to with musical notes. The program
was under the direction of Mrs. Lee

following questions which had been
previously assigned to members, who
introduced them for discussion.
Does the average club woman know
herself and her disposition as thor
oughly as she should, that she may
cultivate proper love and charity for
her fellow worker" Another was,
"Give some reasons why we do not
accomplish all we attempt with our
general club work" Another, How
may club woman create and maintain
harmonious atmosphere in club
life." "Give some characteristics OF
your ideal club woman" and How
may woman sustain or maintain her
own individuality In club life, and
still become part of the harmoni-
GUS whole. Music and current
events are diversions from the
heavier subjects at these meeting.
Mesdames DeKay, Hansborough, Viii
son and Millick sang some sort Of a
pretty quartette with humorous
something running, then Mrs. Wilson
sang sweetly "LongfellQw's Rainy
Day" during the discussion Of poets,
and Mrs. Hayes and Miss Cassie
Wright played beautifully. Mrs.
Hoover then announced that she
would strengthen us for our home
ward journey with a cup of cocoa be-
fore our departure and we all came
away with feeling OF satisfaction
with our club and pleasure with our
guests

CLUB EMBLEM.

We are to have designed for us a
suggestive club emblem, for use on
Echoes page, our stationary, our
local district and state year books
and our badges. 1t will be for the
use of all clubs who are federated
with the state and we may have pins
made, if we choose.

# we are to enrich the soil In nitrogen
by growing clover the clover must
be returned to the soil either by plow-
ing under directly or in the form of
manure.
The animals retain one-fourth Of the
nitrogen and phosphorus in the feed
consumed, and two-thirds Of the or
ganic matter in mixed feeds. Not
more than one-fourth of the dry mat
tor and not more than one-half of the
food elements will be returned to tAs
hsad in the manure, and If the manure
II left expozed to the weather foi
three to six months these proportions
should be divided by two.
The Ohio experiment station has,
as an average Of 10 crops Of corn at
IS cents per bushel, 13 crops Of oats
at rs cents. IL crops OF wheat at 70
cents, ten crops Of clover and ten
crops of timothy, at six dollars a ton.
on land that is richer in phosphorus
than our land, but poorer in nitrogen
than our land, is found that every
dollar invested in phosphorus paid
back $4.76, while nitrogen or potas-
stun paid for its cost.
The same station has found as the
average Of Sc tests In II years work,
that when rock phosphate was applied
In connection with manure, every dol
lar In rock phosphate paid back $3.50.
On three different series Of plots at
the University Of Illinois phosphorus
has doubled the yield Of clover as an
average of the last three years.
On the Bloomington (IlL) soil ex-
pertinent field phosphorus increased
the yield OF wheat ten bushels per
acre in 1905, increased the yield OF
clover more than one ton per acre in
1906, and increased the yield of corn
following clover by 10 bushels per
acre in 1907 The increase in either
crop would practically pay the cost
Of phosphorus applied for the three
years. In both the Illinois cases bone
meal, which is more expensive than
rock phosphate, was used.
Experiments with the rock phOs-
phate were started more recently in
Illinois, but have given good results
on our soils. Four years experiments
at the university have resulted in an
average increase of the crop equal to
$795, while the $50 pounds Of phos-
! phorous applied cost eight dollars. but
210 pounds of it still remain in the
soil for use in future crops. The re-
suits of 1907 alone are an increase
of $11.6S or $3.6S more than the cost
of the rock phosphate, while four
fifths of the phosphorus applied still!
remains in the soil.
The value of the increase from rock
phosphate in six crops grown In the
| Galesburg experiment field amounts to
$14.4Q, or S2.40 more than the cost of
the phosphorus applied, while four
fifths of this phosphate still remains in
the soil.
| Plenty of nitrogen can be secured
from the air by growing legumes, the
organic matter of the crops can be
returned to the soil, but the one ele-
ment phosphorus must be bought
One ton of rock phosphate containing
$50 pounds Of phosphorus can be
bought for about eight dollars; the
same quantity of phosphorus in one
ton of steamed bone meal costs SIS,
in two tons of acid phosphate costs
$50, and in four tons Of complete fer.
tilizer costs $50 to $500.

Y. j. S. AFFAIRS.

The regular monthly meeting was
well attended Tuesday at the club
rooms. A street grading contract for
the cemetery is negotiated, the work
to begin at once. There is a fund
OF $455.41 in the bank from which to
draw for any purpose, the society see
fit, but the larger portion will be
spent on the cemetery work. Resolu-
|tions of appreciation were offered
the Fats and Leans for the proceeds
|of the ball game to those who gave
private donations OF $40 for the lrv-
ling school ground improvement and
to the board of control for the graft
flying results of their zeal and energy
lin fitting up the club rooms They
determined to hold another rummage
sale about December 18th. 1t was
decided to have the house on Taylor
street known hereafter as the v. |. 5.

present a rental fee of So day for
Its use for rummage sales, 50 for
serving a dinner or IS day when
1.-TWO meals were served the same
day, SIS for two full days and even
lings. The society desires to fix only
fair price and trusts the above will
meet the APPROVAL of those who desire
| the use of the rooms. They hope to
have them we'll patronized for any
purpose for which they are suited
and will make a special rate for an
AFTERNOON or evening meeting. No
matron has been secured. Applica-

success from every point of view,
while there is room for Improvement
| in the arrangement of kitchen which
will be made the opportunity for
serving large dinners was good. The
rest room was thoroughly appreciat-
ed as a sitting room in which con-
genial guests fingered until the even
ing was well spent. There is need
of more sugar and creamers and a
flew more dishes in general, cooking
utensils and a kitchen clock. In new
goods donated, the Idaho Lumber
Company head the list with gallon
of paint for the rest room floor, then
comes Mr.. and Mrs. West and Miss
Shaw with the price Of new chairs
and Miss Kehoe a new water pitcher.
You see from this the outlay OF
cash has not been very much. The
Methodist Aid loaned dishes and cof-
fee boiler on hand and the Baptist
Aid brought new ones to loan the
society. Everybody helps willingly
and cheerfully.
