FIRST MELONS SHIPPED.
erawiey Sends Out Crate of Ripe
 Cantaoupes.

The first crate of cantaloupes of the season was shipped from Brawley and arrived in Los Angeles May 15, consigned to Marston & Martin The commission merchants say the melons were about the size of a 96 pack orange, very finely netted, and every way superior to any first crate received in past seasons. Marston & Martin sent the following telegram to IT. Woods Co.,, the distributors:
 Congratulations First crate cant aloupes of the season received from you today from Brawley; special size; seventeen melons sold for sev- enteen dollars. Finely netted fruit"
 While there is always keen rivalry among growers for the distinction of being the first to produce ripe melons, the first crate does not open the ship ping season. It is possible to force vine to ripen fruit prematurely by tricks known to the experts, but it would not pay to do that on a large scale. Probably the real shipping sea son will begin about June 1, as there are several fields promising to pro- duce ripe cantaloupes in marketable quantities by that date.

FRUIT FROM MESQUITE?

Prof. Silas c. Mason, arboriculturist for the Bureau of Plant Industry, has been in the Imperial Valley the past week, inspecting the date farms near Brawley and at Heber. He addressed the citizens of Brawley, Monday night, on the subject of date raising and the adaptability of this valley for Egyp- tian cotton. Prof. Mason is interest ed in the report from Benson, Arizona, that experiments are being tried there of grafting fruit buds on mesquite trees. The mesquite trees are trimmed to good shape, and then there are grafted upon them cuttings from fruit trees. Mesquite trees will grow with out irrigation, as their long roots seek moisture at a great depth, and if the experiment proves successful it would open great possibilities for the desert country.

At a meeting of the boulevard com mittee of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce last week, steps were talk en for improving the road running from San Diego into Imperial Valley.
 The report upon the condition of the road stated that at the present time it would be asking a good deal of the citizens of Imperial county to make the necessary repairs, which would cost $2,OO0, and that this amount should be raised by subsCrip- tion, as travel between the valley and San Diego this summer would be prac tically impossible unless temporary improvements are made in the condi tion of the road,
 Following the reading of the report Charles Kelley, Rufus Choate and Samuel G. Ingle were appointed a subcommittee to raise the necessary fund After the appointment of the committee, says the Union, the fund was started with donation of $100 by MT. Scripps and an equal amount by Mr. Spalding. Mir Ingle and Mr. Choate subscribed $25 each.
 It is understood that that portion of the road in San Diego county will be put in good repair at the expense of the county, under the direction of James H. Cassidy, supervisor of this district, who has just returned from a trip of inspecting the road.
 The San Diego Union says: "The plan of the boulevard committee of the Chamber of Commerce for having the road to the Imperial Valley made passable at an early day, appears to be the only one that is practicable. It contemplates raising $2000 with which to repair the bad places, in the road east of Jacumba and across the coun- ty line the understanding being that the road within this county will be put in good condition by the supervisors. It would certainly be a graceful and friendly act were San Diego people to lift this little burden from their neighbors in the Imperial country. The latter have just set up for them selves, and are necessarily confronted with financial problems that are vex- atious although temporary In a year or two that settlement will have low tax rate and abundant revenue. But just at this time it must sail close to the wind. In the meanwhile the set tiers will appreciate little neighbor- ly kindness such as is involved in the plan for repairing the thoroughfare be- tween their valley and this city. San Diego will be the gainer in the end should the present program in regard to that road be carried out promptly .
