CANTALOUPE
PROSPECTS

w. l.. Palmer, who had charge of
the shipping of cantaloupes from the
Clifton station last year, has re-
turned and will again have charge
of this work. He has been in Cali
fornia for some months, looking af-
ter the shipment of this luscious fruit
from the Imperial valley. but re-
ports that the acreage was so heavy
this year in that section that the
growers will receive little for their
crops, the market at their marketing
time being glutted.
In referring to the prospects for
the Grand valley melon, Mr. Palmer
said:
81 have not had sufficient chance
to estimate yet what the yield will
be in this section. They tell me,
however. that Clifton will ship about
100 car loads, instead of 55 as last
year. and it is hoped that we shall
be able to ship from Grand Junction
also in car lots.
There is, however, no danger of
Swamping the market with the can
taloupes raised here, and l think the
growers will realize prices fully as
good, and possibly better, than those
of last year. The early slump on ac-
count of the California melons will
not affect our market in the least. "
Mr. Palmer thinks that the first
shipment from this section will be a
little earlier this year than last, as
the vines seem to be in better shape.
Indeed the outlook is considerably
better than 1t was last year at his
time.

RICE-CAEsAR CONCERT
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Rice-Caesar concert at the

decided success and the representa-

judging from the reception of the
musical offerings.
The main auditorium was packed

comfortably filled by Grand Junction
people who love good music.
Mr.. Leon Rice, the tenor. possess
es voice of virility and dramatic
power that is wonderful He has
perfect control over it and a range
that seems unlimited. His work is
finished to a degree, whether it be
the grooming little lullaby or the pas
sionate rendering of a heavy dramat-
ic number.
His interpretations of the various
songs showed marked artistic appre-
citation of the composers ideas, al
though each selection differed widely
in character. His enunciation is so
perfect that every syllable carries
with it a meaning that takes full
possession of the hearer, and the
most difficult passages were execut-
ed without the least appearance of
effort, thus making his singing an
unalloyed delight. Insistent encores
followed each other in rapid success
sion and were most grac,0usly re-
sponded to. Mr.. Rice is undoubted-
ly the greatest tenor ever to appear
in Grand Junction.
The violinist Miss Amanda Cae-
sar. played four numbers on the
program, and they were encored
most enthusiastically. Her playing
at all times gave evidence of most
excellent training and constant study

definable Something" from the king
of instruments that causes you to
sit in fascination and feel as though

who is bound to grow IN the musical
