LARGE CANTALOUPE CROP
IN THE IMPERIAL VALLEY

LOS ANGELES, April 25.-The
growers of cantaloupes in the I'm
perial valley, California, estimate this
seasons production at 50,000,000
melons. Approximately $500 acres
have been planted this spring the
yield, under normal conditions being
computed at 50,000,000 melons, about
100000 crates or 1900 carloads. At
least 10000 tons of ice will be re-
quired for the shipping of this fruit
to the markets of the country. The
Southern Pacific, which handles prac
tically all of this crop, is already be-
ginning to assemble its refrigerator
cars in that section.
To get the melons to their various
destinations in good condition neces-
states considerable skill in packing
the Grated cantaloupes inside the cars.
In addition to seeing an attractive ap
pearance in the arrangement of the
fruit in the car, which appeals to the
car-lot buyer when he inspects it at
it's destination, the shipper must see
to it that the crates are securely fas
tened to prevent them from shifting
and to see that thy are loaded and
packed as to allow free ventilation and
refrigeration.

the papers published the letter and

timent? Do the newspapers. of the
state that have taken no stand be-
lieve that they are fulfilling their
mission? Why do they ignore the
movements There is a REASON. The
newspapers of this country were in
dicted by Senator LaFollette in his
famous Philadelphia speech, and they
are now on trial. Is it possible that
some of the papers of Nevada will be

printed in their defense2 In this mat

The attention of congress to the
great injustice Of the present system
was called by President Taft. He
mentioned the fact that often the re-
covery of large sums In damage ver-
diets did not result in actual benefit to
the injured person on account of the
heavy expenses in litigation. The
president expressed the belief that
these burdens would disappear with
the enactment Of the proposed law.
since the counsel fees are limited to
reasonable amount.
AS further stated by the president:

Of the proposed law before the adjourn
ment of the present session Of con-
