CANIALOUPES.

The cantaloupe industry of Tempe and surrounding districts, while one of the most imDortant, has been one of the least considered resources of the countr- until the season of 1907 the easily grown and profitable alfal- ia seeming to appeal more strongly to our farmers. After a practical demonstration by q few experienced cantaloupe growers. the people awoke to the possibilities. of such an indus try as d wealth producer unequalled in any farming community in the world. Before this time is was thought that only certain sections would pro- duce this luscious table luxury, bat the season Of 1907 proved by actual experience there was no/ land under the Tempe canal system, from the very heaviest to the very lightest, but what would produce the highest quality of this fruit.
 Cantaloupes, to be produced with that peculiar flavor so much desired. require a special and particular treat ment in the growing, which can only be given in an irrigated district. The applying of water at just the proper time, with the warm sunshine. creates an atmosphere underneath the heavy vines which s necessary to the per- lection O. the fruit as has been fully demonstrated ic the eastern markets. Arizona cantaloures were selling in the New York market at s3.25 to s4.80 per crate of 45 melons against the eastern product at 95 cents to Sl.15 per crate. This is conclusive evidence of the superiority Of irrigated canta- lOupes over all others.
 Now. take into consideration that, with yer" indifferent cultivation. they have been known to produce 125 crates per acre and that l15 to 200 crates is an average crop per acre. As many as S25 crates have been grown here on single acre. Considering. further. that one man can easil.' cultivate ten acres. and that the crop natures in four months. it can be easil:- seen that the possibilities of the enterprise are great, and as yet.'it is only in its infancy here. The usual method of marketing is the pooling of the crop and cOnsigning by refrigerator cars to the eastern market through agents there. This has been satisfactor:. in the past and will continue to improve as the, business increases

cantaloupe growing is one of the best ranching propositions in the valley and have followed that to a certain extent since the organization of the associa- ton. This season l expect to plant and market with partner a twenty acre tract. CantalOupe growing Is a particular business and requires con- siderable attention the same as any other line that comes to the attention of the rancher.
 I planted nine acres of cantaloupes and was compelled to pay three hun dred dollars for hired help and other expenses and then realized $500 off the crop above all expenses. I farm ed on the shares giving one third to the owner of the land and still had sl200 for my share which l do not consider bad for four months work. I planted in April, I believe on the 5th. I cultivated before and after every irrigation until the vines got so large that I could not continue to do so. l plowed the ditches full and loos- ened up the soil and then just previous to irrigating I made new ditches. believe that this is the proper way to grow cantaloupes and 1 believe that can make the success of the bus mess in the Mesa section.
 Yours truly.

To the Editor O. The Republican:
 Sir:-My experience last year in the cultivation of cantaloupes. nOtwith- standing adverse conditions as re- gards weather and markets, was a profitable one.
 My partner James Carroll, and my self rented an eight-acre tract of ground, paying for the same s10 per acre from March 1st to August 1st. a total of s8O for the season. From this eight acres we shipped an even thou sand crates Of melons before an un- expected rain came. putting an end to the business for the season and great ly reducing the average yield. as noth- ing was realized from the second crop, which, under ordinary conditions, would have greatly added to the total. This thousand crates does not repre- sent the full yield of the patch by any means, sor q large number of locals" were also shipped from the same field.
 Less than five months actual labor was put in the crop and for less than four months Of this time one of us alone did all the necessar- work. At the end O. the season we found that. after paying the rent of the land, ex- pense of water, all hired help. and all lowing ourselves reasonable wages for the time we had spent in the cultiva- ton and the harvesting Of the crop. We had cleared for our efforts s615. or $76.75 per acre. for little over four months use of the land. Respect fully, JOHN FLETCHER.

THE FIGURES THAT PROVE IT

One of the most notable ranchers in the Salt River valley is John Forney. who lives in HadselPs addition to the town of Glendale. He is not notable because he is rich. nor because he has the largest ranch in the valley On the contrary his fame comes through the fact that his holdings are small and he had little to start with. yet with industry. perseverance and good careful management he is making a success of his little ranch.
 He has lived in the valley a long time and has at least made his living during the lean years when conditions were worst; conditions that everybody knows could not be prosperous for any body, but which conditions have en- tirely passed away giving place to a new and better order of things that are as certain as anything human can be. And when there was any chance at all. Mir. FOrney made little money. One of the secrets of his success was the careful keeping track of everything so he knew what he was doing all the time. and with equal carefulness studying out what was the best thing to do to get the greatest results from his conditions. That made him painstaking and scientific farmer. MT. FOrney. like everybody else, will now have the benefit of a new condition and will of course do better, no doubt a great deal better But herewith are given the facts of what he did last year. accurately compiled, the data be- ing furnished by himself and covering all the income and all the Outgo of his farm for the year. Mir. Forney actually farmed twenty acres of land. though in addition for a part of the year he had ten acre patch of land rented on which he raised a little chicken feed and for the use of which he paid ten dollars. This is mentioned only in the interest of accuracy for it made little difference in the general rpSlIlf

 Sir:-The following tabulated rec ord for four months. October, Novem- Der. December and January of I907-S will give a fair idea of what can be done here in dairying. These figures. however. can hardly be taken as an example of the best that can be done for the reason that they are from four of the. poorest months of the year. the winter months, when. naturally, the milk flow is not as great as it is dur ing the summer. The cows from which the figures were taken are but a fair bunch. as we have not had them

To the editor of The Republicans:
 Sir:-For the benefit of the outside reader who may be interested in knowing the experience of a Tempe farmer. I submit the following result of what was produced from 45 acres of alfalfa. This being my first years ex- perience in this kind of farming. as am comparatively recent arrival in the valley, it may not show up as well as other fields have done. through my ineXperience in the matter.
 The first cutting Of the 45 acres went three tons to the acre which was cut and stacked, later in the fall being sold with the third crop and the feed on the ground to cattlemen. The sec ond crop was cut and baled, netting S59J clear above the expense of bal ing and hauling to the car. That crop went two tons of first grade hay to the acre. The third crop was original ly intended for seed, but an unex- pected rain caught it and it had to be stacked for hay and was later sold with the first crop for feed The pro- fit on it was consequently not so great as I had anticipated. However, the two crops together with the feed on the ground sold for an even s1.OOO, making the total income from the 45 acres for the year s1595.OO.
 f is difficult for me to even make an estimate of the expense of handling my crop. but it is light as several neighbors in this vicinity assist each other, thereby doing away almost to- tally with any output of cash. I es- timated the net profit on the field per acre at about 80 for the year.
 Respectfully.

| east of Glendale. can be farmed on large rough scale with single crops Q year. and made to yield big dividends. Even with the past water conditions | under the Arizona canal, we have | made good crops which at the prevail ing prices. illustrate about what land is really worth. Being asked what we | raise and what our land has produced we will be glad to give the results as best our memory serves us, for We do not have at hand our account books Our Danch itself. consists of only 2sO | acres. but we always farm more. rent | ed. land. This year We will farm 520 acres. Grain and hay is all that We try to raise. However we have about 1 thirty work horses and about seventy cattle. This stock of course eats con- | siderable feed. and the cattle are good money makers. We have a big thresh- ing machine and a hay bailing outfit. | which enables us to harvest and thresh our own crops. and we make a busi ness in the seasons. of bailing hay and threshing. for the trade.
 Of our 28D acre ranch last year. 140 acres were planted to alfalfa. We had sufficient water to get good stand and get the alfalfa well started, and now the fields look good and will this year make several big crops of hay. Last year. being the first for the all falfa, we sowed it with grain. mostly barley and oats. from which an aver age of two tons of hay was cut the first cutting. One twenty. acre piece. however. gave us four tons to the acre, in one cutting. The hay brought us an average of $500 ton. bailed from shock. and in the field.
 We had piece of ground of twenty acres in oats. that made good yield. producing 10000 pounds which sold for s2.60 per hundred. We had eighty acres in barley. alone Water was too short to make good crop. but We threshed from the piece about 120.000 pounds. which was sold for s1.35 per hundred. The rest of the ranch is in pastures yards, and garden. Last year beside feeding my own stock on grain. l sold pasture to the extent of about s200.
 As an example of what land out under the Arizona canal in the Glen dale country will produce in hay and grain; five years ago. We farmed tract of 40 acres =We sold 700 tons of hay at an average of s10 a ton. and nearly 4700 sacks of wheat and barley. the barley at about S1.00 per hundred. and the wheat at a little more than that.

What the Actual Farmers Of the Valley Have 10 Say

said: You fellows down there don't have enough eggs to fool with When you are able to furnish me in carload lots, I am ready to do biz Another mining company I was corresponding with in regard to eggs wrote me: Your proposition is all right and price satisfactory, and we will accept your proposition on one condition; that is, you are to furnish us 20 cars per week the year around" Of course, that let me out, but so far 1 have found plen- ty of sale among small consumers us- ing one, two or three cases a week guarantee every egg I send out, and once I get a customer. he comes every year thereafter as long as I have eggs 10 keep him going.
 What We need to work for here is more winter eggs. l have done some thing in that line in the last two years, and expect to accomplish much more in the next few wears. For instance, one hen bred from eggs received from the government experimental station at Orano, Me, where the hens have been trapped, and nestled bv Uncle Sam for 26 years, laid 2S eggs during y, market price were worth S2 cents, a net profit of over 70 cents in one month on the one hen. She will net perhaps s2.50 per year. l was buying the eggs from Professor Fizzers flock of 90 hens last November, and paid him s36.50 for the one month. His feed, he tells me, cost about $ll per month.
 During the February just past. l handled the eggs from L. H. Smiths flock of something over 300 hens, and his income for the one month was a little over SIP, with a feed bill Of s29 for the same month. l also handled the eggs from the flock of Cole & Clark, between 200 and 300 in number. and their February check was s56.35. don't know what their feed bill was MT. and Mrs. F. c. Woodmansee, an elderly couple who have retired from active work, have flock of 90 hens, just across the road from me, and they took s21 for eggs in February They also have three cows, from which they were taking the milk to the creamery once a day, that cleared them over $30 during February.

 I often think of what an eastern farmer in a prairie grass state would think if he really saw what an amount of stuff I have raised on my sixteen acre ranch during the past nineteen years. During this time have raised family. made a good living. have been contented with the pleasures it afforded, and now have nice bank account for a rainy day. My ranch is on Grand avenue two miles from town. thus giving me a handy market for my garden products and my fruit. Fruits and melons are my principal products, and have been each year in the past. Being asked how I manage to always make a big yield. l have few facts to present. In the first place l work. and that means my brains as well as my arms. The right kind of seeds selected so that the best producer is raised. the water must be carefully watched so to get the benefit of all that is obtainable. Cultivation is another thing that must not be neg lected. In the water melon business always am careful of two things. one is to get early melons. another is the planting of the varieties that yield the very best tasting fruit.
 Illustrating how a few acres will produce nice returns. l last year sold the following: from seven apricot trees about ten years old I sold s12 worth of fruit or little over S10 tree. Be- side we used some of these apricots for the family From a one and a half acre vineyard of Mission. Tokay. Mus cat and Thompson seedless grapes. sold s11O. worth of grapes. Six acres that I had planted in water melons. netted me $950 in cash sales during the summer. I have growing nearly two acres of fruit trees three years old They bore some fruit last year and this year will give me returns. They are mostly plums and peaches. The other few acres in alfalfa and grain gives me feed for two cows and three horses.

viOus that the profit on the invest ment is nearly 100 per cent per year. Again. it should be remembered that this calculation is made on the record established during the light winter months, and. from only a fair bunch of cows. There are probably other herds that do better. The eastern readers attention is called to another import ont feature. Here there is no snow and cold weather to contend with. It is not necessary to have barns and sheds. Cows are milked in the open the year around and require practical ly no care aside from being supplied with feed. which merely consists in moving them from one field to anoth- CT. and plenty of water.
