There was gloom in the Wash
ington apple belt not so very long
ago when experts made the report
that this falls crop would be only
about 40 per cent. of last seasons.
Now things look brighter. The gov
ernment experts place their estimate
at 81 per cent. of last years, and
private growers say it will be quite
as large. From various sources it is
gathered that while the crop will De
small in some sections, it will be
unusually large in others. Wash
ington is young state and should
go slow. Delaware and her peach
crop offer an awful example.
One of the big melon raisers in
the Colorado cantaloupe belt has a
plan which he says will quadruple
the number of melons or cucumbers
grown on a vine. 1t calls for a sys-
tenn of pruning the vines, a thing
heretofore unthought Of by melon
growers because the plant generally
bleeds to- death if cut in any way.
This man says he has done away
with this danger. He " drills his
seed in rows about 12 inches apart
and so gets about treble the usual
number of vines to the acre. These
are then thinned out, leaving but
one or two vines to a hill. These in
turn are pruned back, so that they
will throw all their strength into one
or two shoots, and the blossoms cut
down to two to the vine.
