MELON SHIPMENTS
SHOW FALLING OFF
Valley Pears and Peaches
Coming Into Las Cruces;
Third Alfalfa Cutting.

Las Cruces, N. NJ. Aug 4-Canta-
loupe shipments dropped off slight
ly during the past few days. Whether
this is owing to the recent hot days
and dry weather is a question that
bothers the growers.
The lack of pickers and packers con-
tinues to be felt. and in one field there
were at least 200 crates piled up on
the ground that could not be packed
on account of the lack of men, and
another grower had TO get his pack
ers to work overtime, getting his last
wagonload of cantaIoupes to the shed
at o'clock in the morning.
Pears are just beginning to come in,
the fruit is well developed and in fine
condition to ship, many of the new
trees are bearing for the first time this
Year and the shipments will be leaving
within the next few days.
Peaches on the local market are SELL
ing at l y C to &c per pound. The quail
ity is good and the supply is greater
than the local demand. Many crates
are shipped out to points north and
east on every train and the shippers
report very satisfactory returns from
these small shipments in spite of the
high express rate which will be greatly
reduced as soon as the fruit can he
shipped out in carloads.
The third cutting of alfalfa is under
way throughout the upper valley A
ton and half is the rule per acre for
this cutting, and some of the older
stands have given as high as two tons
per acre for this cutting. Prices rule
high on frstclass pea green hay. and
the market has recovered from the
slight slump of last week. BUYERS
are handling the crop for Immediate
shipment only, as very little hay Is
being stored at the present prices.

BIG SUM

that was the reason it cost the Sena-

at the primaries in 1908, according to
testimony before the senatorial inves-
tigation committee.

Was it question of matching dol

that right?"
That's right. If Senator Stephenson
had been poor man his workers
might have campaigned for him for
nothing, but as he was said to be
worth $40, 100000 1t was thought only
right that those who worked for him
