OIL the farmers in this vicinity have
planted melons this year, but the two

The yield of melons is very large and
consequently the crowded market is
making it possible for other localities

The canteloupes also are large this

that the crop will be a good one The
country in this section of the valley
is admirably suited to the growing Of
both varieties of melons.
