Watermelon
Weighing 80
Pounds.
ONE OF THE Big JUICY KIND THAT
MAKES ONES MOUTH WATER TO
BE SHOWN AT LETHBRIDGE.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept
A watermelon weighting 90
pounds has been raised by Colfax
Moulton on his ranch a few
miles west of this city, and it is
to be one of the features of the
exhibit that will be taken to the
Dry-Farming Congress at Leth-
bridge, Alta, where there is offer
ell a special silver cup, donated
by the Board of Trade of Taber,
for the largest watermelon
shown. Oklahoma is going to
bring back that piece of silver
ware, and she is going to leave
the 90 pound watermelon to be
divided up at Lethbridge between
the chairman of the exposition
and the manager of the .Taber
exhibit. 1t is the largest melon
raised so far this year in the
Southwest, and it is certainly
big enough for two Canadian
boosters. There will be no
strings attached to the contest;
they will not have to eat it in
public. and they will be at liberty
to divide with their friends. The
seeds are to be kept and used to
esta blish extra fine melon patches
in Oklahoma and Taber next
year.

Taft Determined
on Compensation.

Beverly, Mass, Oct. 2.-For
the past two weeks President
Taft has been trying to work
out a plan of applying in the
Panama Canal Zone the princi-
pals of the compensation bill,
which he is determined to have
enforced for the benefit OF the
workmen there, The Admins
tration pushed the bill at the last
session OF Congress, but Congress
refused to adopt, and it was op-
enly charged in Congress that
the Democratic House would not
pass this bill because it did not
wish to give the republicans any
credit for a measure designed to
benefit workmen.
In order to help the laborers in
Panama, however. Mr.. Taft has
found that he does not need the
sanction OF Congress.
Under the Panama Canal Act,
the President received authority
to make laws tor the zone by ex-
ecutive order. Within the next
few weeks he expects to proclaim
thai workmans compensation
act, greatly similar to that which
passed the Senate but which fail
ed in the House in the last session
be the law for the canal zone.
Senator Sutherland of Utah re-
drafted the bill that failed to suit
the needs of the zone, and the
President has sent the new draft
to Panama for the approval of
officials there.
President Taft will have the
assistance of Col. Geothals in his
uetermInatlOn TO carry out the
compensation plan, and feels sure
that he will be able to provide
help for the workmen injured in
the construction of the canal.
Mr.. Taft is also planning an
attack upon the Democrats for
their apparent opposition to the
administrations proposed bud
get system" Of submitting to the
country and to Congress a de-
tailed estimate of the expected
revenues and expenditures for
each year.

Several others are fgureing on
leasing their lands but the con-
tracts have not yet been closed.
The average price paid for the
use of these lands is about $500
per acre.
The question of beet raising for
the future will depend largely on
the condition of the land and
farmers are preparing to do con-
considerable blowing for next
spring SO as to provide the prop
er seed bed and if deep blowing is
done there seems to be little
doubt AS to the exceedingly large
tonnage that will be raised if the
soil is so prepared by deep plow-
ing so as to permit the beets to
gro " deep in the ground so that
is what raises the tonnage.
Mr.. Ritchie states that in his
work amongst the farmers the
sentiment is exceedingly bright
for good crops in the future in
this industry. The present year
has thus far demonstrated results
far beyond expectations and
farmers in general are we'll pleas
ed with what their farms have
done in this line.

SHOWING COOP.

The beets that were sent from
this place few days ago to the

poses have been reported on and
according to information received
from Field Manager Geo. Ritchie
the results showed 9O% pure and
the saccharine up to the standard.
This is a most excellent show.
ing and the only thing left to de-
monstrate this and the leading
beet section is the tonnage per
acre, and from all indications
that too will come above the
standard; as soon however as
digging is done which IS already
begun this phase of the question
will shortly be settled.
1t is quite evident that the pro-
spectS are excellent as the laps
have already closed contracts for
over five hundred acres of beet
lands for a period Of from three
to five years with favorable pro-
spects for more to be rented to
them.
The number of acres that will
be planted to beets next year is
going to increase 5OO% over this
year. There is fully 1000 acres
practically assured and nearly
every farmer in the valley are
contemplating planting quite an
acreage of beets the coming year.
