NEW CANTALOUPE
FAIR ATTRACTION
: IN LOUISA COUNTY WONDER
TUD NEW VARIETY.

!. One of the most interesting fea-
lures displayed in the farm products
department was the new French Hy-
brid cantaloupe, bred and grown. by
Charles A. Gitcheli. of Louisa county.
Mr.. GitcheIl crossed the French va
riety of melon with the Rocky Ford
cantaloupe. and after eleven years of
patient breeding obtained the variety
he was showing at the fair. The new
melon Is OF delicious flavor and pos
sesses advantages 10 the grower that
cannot he found in any ether variety.
For instance, the new cantaloupes fall
from the vine OF their own volition
when ripe, and are not really ready
for the table from four to seven days
after that time. which gives the ship
per ample opportunity to get them TO
Northern markets without the added
EXPENSE of shipping I'm refrigerator
ears.
The keeping qualities Of the melon
In another NAry stroug point in It's
favor. Those exhibited by Mr.. Glitch
ell fell from the vine fifty days be-
Fair, and many who partook of them
can testify to the fact that age had
rather improved their lusciousness.
The cantaloupes are grown in nets
and boxes of sawdust, and are not
! allowed to touch the ground. and in
bringing them to perfection Mr.. Glitch
ell has bred them for points, just as
a pedigreed animal Is bred. looking
to weight, size. color and so on. On
forty distinct points these melons are
prize winners.
The Introduction of this new type
Of cantaloupe. which seems to he
splendidly suited to the Virginia soil
will work u revolution in the melon
industry in this State. The keeping
qualities OF the melon. its hardness
and weight. combined with luscious
favor and good size. make IL an ideal
melon for the Virginia grower. Mr.
Gitchell raised only 1000 OF the new
melons this year. and found ready
sale for all OK them In few Of the
big New York hotels at very fancy
prices. He expects to extend his acre.
age the coming season. believing that
there is great future III store for
the variety of which he is the oriE-
nator.

combining Virginia's natural advan-

growing--I knew this orchard six
years ago under the old management

day with the present owner.
The orchard contains 400 twelve

thirty feet apart each way and oc-

directions. giving the perfect sur
face and air drainage. The trees are
very symmetrical, ten to sixteen feet
high, twenty feet in diameter with
low head and open center, the fruit

This orchard was originally planted
with peach tree filters, which proved
Improbable and which were removed
when 1t changed hands seven years
ago: the second owner, pulled out; the
peach trees, cultivated the land and
did some much-needed prunning-ethe
trees were OF bearing age, but the
fruit grown did not pay operating
expenses up to the ninth year.
Modern Methods.
In 1910, when the trees were ten
years old, this orchard was purchas-

BISMARCK GUEST
ABOARD Titanic
Mrs. Ellen kIueQe and
OaughterAwaltingR Relatives
in Capital City

For the past two days Bismarck
has been entertaining a lady and her
daughter who were passengers
aboard the ill-fated Titanic. The lady
is Mrs. Ellen Kluege, and she is ac-
cOmpanied by nine-year old daught-
er. Another daughter, about sixteen
years old, went ahead of her mother
and is visiting relatives in the state
of Oregon.
Mrs. Kluege resides in Berlin. She
decided to come to America during
the summer months for the purpose
of enabling her two daughters to learn
English, and give them an opportun-
ity 10 see the United States. Both of
the girls speak English and French
as fluently as they do their mother
tongue. Prior to coming to America
Mrs. Kluege visited in England, and
at Liverpool she boarded the Titanic.
While the little girl speaks excellent
English, the mother is able to under.
stand only German. She is unable to
give any account of the crash and the
scenes attendant upon the wreck or
the escape of the women and chill
dren. Mrs. Kluege's left arm was
broken in two places during the panic
aboard the big ocean greyhound, and
she was rendered unconscious. not
coming to until she was in a New
York hospital. She rested there for
several days until she was able to
proceed to North Dakota, sending her
older daughter on to Oregon.
Mrs. Kluege has relatives in Mer-
Ger county near Krem, and they are
expected here soon to accompany her
to their home where she will visit for
several weeks. From there she will
go to Oregon and later to California,
whence she will return to her home
in Germany.
