Nevada GROWING
fine MELONS

Southern Nevada, which IS now oe-
coming the scene of a great deal OF
agricultural activity through irrigation
is going some in the melon line. The
following from the Rhyolite Herald is
enough to make most any mouth water;
Rhyolite is flooded with watermelons,
but the price remains at A and . cents
a pound retail. Beatty, Ash Meadows,
Pahrump and Los Angeles are vleing
with each other as to quality, and 1t
must be admitted that the desert
grown melons are just as good or a lit
tie "gooder" than the melons from
sunny California.
We don't mean to be prejudiced, but
these desert melons are about the nm
est ever. They are big, solid, juicy and
sweet-just the proper caper.
And the way Rhyoliters are eating
them is a caution. They are no drug
on the market here.
Ewing, who is only experimenting
with melons this season on his newly
established ranch at Beatty, brings
over some very fine specimens. lie
has two acres this season and asserts
that the melons will bring $1,000 an
acre. Next season he hopes to plans
ten acres to melons, and be able to
corner the entire local market from
Rhyolite to Tonopah.
The Pahrump ranch and the Indians
at Ash Meadows are sending melons to
to Rhyolite and they are dandies too
And while we are mentioning melons
we must not overlook the canteloupes
easabas and musk melons raised on
these desert ranches. They don I
take second place for anything grown
at Moapa, Rocky Ford or Imperial.
What we are getting this year III
the way of home grown melons makes
us realize what great possibilities WI
have here in the desert of converting
these broad stretches of sagebrusf
plains into productive farms and gar
dens, and prosperous agricultural com
munities. The district that can com
bine mining and agriculture is forum
ate indeed.

"The absence of such coinage he
