Pruning Cantaloupes

A dispatch from Grand Junction
to the Pueblo Chieftain says:
BY secret process OF pruning can't
aloupe vines Jessie France, fruit in
spector for the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers association, announces that
he can increase the productiveness Of
a vine from 300 to 500 per cent in a
season. For number Of years he has
been at work on experiments with
melons. The method of planting
"cants" in hills is condemned by In
spector France. On three ranches
where he is now making experiments
he has planted his melons in rows a
foot apart. He then thins his rows
down until there is vine every foot.
The old method of pruning caused the
plant to bleed thus doing more harm
than good. Mr.. France has new
method Of pruning which prevents
bleeding. He says that an acre which
produces 100 crates Of melons under
the old cultivation can be made to
produce from 300 to 600 crates by his
method and he is now proving his con-
tention on three ranches.

Some Swapping

A trade was made early this week
between two Ordway parties which
will result in the permanent removal
of one OF our highly respected fami-
lies. T. w. Meyer has traded his two
residence properties in Ordway to
Mrs. w. Laughlin for forty acres Of
land and two town lots in Yampa.
The farm is under irrigation and val
ued at S2.950. The Ordway properties
were figured at 1890. Mr.. Meyer
has advertised a sale of his household
goods for Saturday and will leave to
take possession of his farm as soon as
business matters can be Strengthened
up. He and the family have been resi-
dents of Ordway for several years,
during which time they have made
many friends who will regret to see
them leave, but wish them we'll in
their new home.

Potato Seed for Greeley

Calhan, Colo, June 3O.-Calhan

fall make the best seed for potatoes
grown under irrigation. The Calhan
or noted "Divide" potatoes have an
"affinity" for the Greeley variety and
are used In large quantities for seed.

SHIPPING RATES
Determination by Railroads on
Cant Shipments Charged
by S. A. Gerard &Co.

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion has received complaint from
s. A. Gerard s. Co. Of Cincinnati,
heavy shippers of cantaloupes from
this district, In which they charge
discrimination In minimum carlot
weight IN cantaloupes to points east
Of the Mississippi river. The out
come will be watched with interest
by the growers, who may be able to
recover overcharees on shipments OF
the past few years In case the COM
mission takes favorable action.
The Kansas City Packer OF July 8
contained the following Cincinnati
dispatch under date Of July7:
"Complaint has been filed with the
Interstate Commerce commission by
S. A. Gerard & Co. against what ap.
pears to be discrimination on the part
OF the Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe
railroads on the minimum carlot
weight on antaloupes from Colorado
loading points to markets east of the
Mississippi river.
''One road, the Santa Fe, gives a
carlot minimum to all points east or
west OF the Mississippi river of 10000
pounds, whereas the Missouri Pacific,
few miles north and running almost
parallel, gives carlot minimum OF
10000 to all points west Of the Missis-
sippi river, Chicago and few Illinois
cities, but to all other cities east OF
the Mississippi river, the carlot mini
mum is $4,000 pounds, compelling the
shippers to pay ut the rate OF 90, 600
pounds up to the Mississippi and a.
900 pounds to points beyond.
''As 1t now stands, the growers at
Ordway, Sugar City, Dayton and other
growing points on the Missouri Pa
citic are compelled to pay for a $4,000
pound minimum to the eastern mar
kets when the growers at Rocky Ford,
La Junta and other points along the
Santa Fe only have to pay for a 10000
minimum to the same markets.
''This apparent discrimination in
the different minimums by the two
roads is what is being complained
against, and II the Interstate Com
merce commission takes a hand In the
matter, which it is believed it will do,
it will probably mean the saving Of
thousands OF dollars to growers at
points along the Missouri Pacific. In
the event OF the Interstate Commerce
commission compelling the Missouri
Pacific to establish 10000 pound
minimum to all points, an effort will
be made to collect the overcharges on
shipments made in the past. Accord
ing to some OF the best posted traffic
men the shippers have been discrimi-
mated against, basing their opinion
mostly on the fact that the connect
ing lines out Of St. Louis accept freight
on 0.00O minimum from one road
and $4,000 from the other ON goods
out OF the same state"

Las Animas Gets the Harpoon
from Ordway-Number of
Good Games in Sight

Yes, we feel pretty we'll, thank you.
After the lickings that Rocky Ford
and Haswell gave us last week, we
turned around and handed wad to
Las Animas Sunday that will hold
them at least temporarily. The visi.
tors started out like they we're going
to eat us up, but after the first inning
they changed their minds when Dun
lap and the bunch OF huskies behind
him handed out six straight goose eggs
In neat little basket. Las Animas
slugged out three runs In the first and
and Ordway followed with Two. Then
the visitors started to gather the goose
eggs, while the home team copped of
six scores In the second. From that
on till the seventh round 1t was a
standofl In the poultry product busi-
ness, when Las Animas made one in
the seventh, following 1t with two in
the eighth, Ordway mailing one In the
latter inning. The visitors blanked
10 the ninth and the fans got up
and yelled the top Of the grand stand
or as they looked at the score board.
Brown was injured In the seventh
while officiating behind the bat and
was released by John Bourne Of Sugar
City.
The Las Animas boys are good live
bunch and play fast ball, but not quite
swift enough to be In the same class
with Ordway. However, they put up
an interesting game, and the fans will
be glad to see them here again this
season.

Check Insect Pests

oOSo PCooo 0so PsOyCu opou ~ uCo1y
one thousand varieties Of American
birds, Of which the vanishing shore
birds occupy q prominent place, ia
shown 10 special bulletin that is
being prepared to be sent throughout
the country from the headquarters OF
the National Association OF Audubon
societies Of this city. Based upon In.
vestigatIons OF the government bio
logical survey, this circular OF warning
will present proof that for every shore
bird Of the thousands that are now al
lowed to be killed, natures fight to
keep down the spread OF disease and
crop plague Is weakened by the loss Of
very active agent. Unless the kill
deer, the upland plover, the sand.
piper and other shorebIrds are speedily
granted adequate protection, hygienic
and agricultural conditions all over
the continent will undoubtedly suffer,
1t Is declared.
Nine species Of the shorebirds that
are found in almost every region OF
this country are known to consume
enormous quantities OF mosquitoes,
for whose extinction many millions OF
dollars have been spent by the people
Of several sections. Scientific exami-
nation of the stomachs of twenty
eight Of the northern phalarope va
riety OF these birds is reported by the
the government authorities to have
just disclosed the fact that So per cent
Of their diet had consisted OF such
noxious mosquitoes as the salt marsh
breed, which the authorities OF this
city are now attempting to suppress
at great expense. These birds, which
do SO much to check the mosquito
plague and its attendent spread OF dis
ease throughout the continent, are
shown to be among the species whose
extinction Is at this time threatened
on account Of lax laws for their proper
protection.
GrasshOppers, locusts and craneflies
that destroy the farmers crops as we'll
as horseflies and mosquitoes that
plague his livestock are the natural
prey Of the disappearing shorebirds.
according to the warnings now being
sounded by the workers Of the Audu-
bon association, The waning forces of
the killdeer and upland plover are
also able to destroy the North Ameri-
can fever tick that has an injurious
effect upon cattle, it Is shown, while
some 25 species OF shorebirds eat the
grasshoppers that ruin acres Of corn
cotton and other crops.
Sew OF our native birds need pro-
lection more than these shorebirds,
some species Of which are found on the
farmers fields, the coast and almost
every locality on this continent" said
T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary OF the
National \ Association OF Audubon So
cieties, 1914 Broadway, New York:
"1n our constant campaign to protect
the insect-eating birds that check dis
ease and crop plague all over the
United States we are at this time
urging all Americans to help save
these economically valuable shore
birds from the swift destruction that
has already driven the Eskimo curlew
to extinction"
