Why Melon vineI Die.

Melon vines sometimes die from no
apparent cause. Decay begins at the
base OF the vines, the branches not
falling until later. This frequently
happens when no Indications OF iuseca
damage appears The cause OF the
dying OF the plants may be from the
ground being low or from the use Of
fresh manure IN, the hills, which Gre
9tes too much warmth during dry po-
Piods.

Gently in a suit brought by the Con-
tinental Creamery company filed an
answer in the district court today al
leging that the scales of rates estab-
nshed by the railroad board is not ex-
cessive and not discriminatory to the
plaintiff and that the rates made by
the interstate commerce commission
for short hauls would not be excessive.
The defendants allege that whereas
the rates were established for milk an

defendants began shipping a product
wholly different. butter fat, which is
several times more valuable than milk
or cream.
It is also alleged that the price paid
for milk and cream is fixed by a for

the Kansas farmer, whether he ships
one mile or three hundred miles. re
ceives the same price for his product
and that the slight increase in rates

shipment of milk and cream or be d
detriment to the producer.
That the scale of rates established b :
slightly higher than previously is adj
