Great Melon Country.

During the past season I was in.
formed by Frank R. Snow, president
and manager Of the Utah Moapa Dis
tributing company, that his company
handled l66 cars of Moapa melons
some Of these going as far east as Pitts.
burg and Boston.
The writer has recently made a per.
sonal investigation as to the success
OF cantaloupe growers in that region
and has secured large numb Der of il
lustrations as 10 the successful opera
tions of those who have been connected
with this industry during the past sea,
son, A few of these only will be cited
At Overton. Albert Jones had Az
acres Of ground planted to melons
from which he obtained III crates
which netted him Sl.50 per crate, OF
better than $3.50 per acre.
John H. Lytlc secured S72 crates. all
OF which netted him $1.25 per crate,
with the exception of forty crates,
which sold AT 81 10, and these were Sc.
cured from three acres
David Conger received more than
$4,000 net profit from ten acres Of land
planted to cantaIoupes. although this
was received from practically eight
acres.
At Logan, one Of the thriving little
burgs in the valley, and at which point
the southern Nevada experimental farm
is located, John Thomas planted three
and half acres to cantaloupes, from
which he shipped Sol crates, receiving
Sll95.7l, after. paying all freight

Water in Abundance.

The annual precipitation is between
) ard Z inches, but beneficent Pro
vidence has provided in the towering G
mountain ranges, TO be seen at q DIS.
tance, living streams Of water brought
through artificial channels to the
parched land.
The Moapa valley, before the ad'
vent Of the railroad known as the
Muddy - was first settled by the Nor
mons in the early '60s, but owing to
its distance from other settlements and
difficulty Of access, WIS afterwards
practically abandoned. 1t was known,
however, even by those who left that
section, that the region was possessed
of unsurpassed fertility Of soil, and
with al elevation OF fifteen feet above
sea level, afforded a semitropical eli
mate, These carly settlers were fully
cognizant Of the fact that ideal condi-
tions for farming were to be encoun-
tered here, but of course felt that life
time would be passed before marketing
facilities could be reasonably expected.
When the San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt Lake railroad began extending it's
line beyond Milford, and it became
known that this valley would be tribu-
tary to this railroad, number Of Utah
people began purchasing land there,
with the firm belief that nature had pro
vided every means for the raising of
fruit and vegetables, and that this sec
tion would be especially adapted to can
taloupes, a belief IN which they have
not been disappointed

A RESTRAINT UPON DIVORCE

While not a panacea for the evils 81
divorce, the recommendation of the
Judges that marriage of divorced per-
sons be forbidden within one year
from the granting of the decree, is an
excellent one. 1t strikes a direct blow
at the most immoral and demoraliz-
ing phase of divorce, the getting rid
of one partner for the purpose q
taking another.
Persons who seek divorce because
the marriage has become unbearable,
or for the sake of their children,
would feel it no hardship to wait /.
year before marrying again. 1t bears
restrictively upon those whose atti-
tude towards marriage is injurious to
healthy social condition, and whose
conduct is essentially immoral
The chief thing to consider about
such a statute is it's effectiveness.
Illinois has been experimenting with
one for several years, not at all sat
isfactorily Unfortunately, such a
prohibition can not extend beyond the
state line There is nothing to pre-
ent a man getting a divorce in Belle
vile or Edwardsville, with the full
year prohibition of remarriage, put
ting the decree in his pocket, taking
q trolley car to St. Louis and getting
married in a couple of hours.
This sort of thing has been done by
thousands of Divorces in Illinois. Re-
Gently a bombshell was thrown into
the ranks of such law evaders by the
decision of judge of a lower court
that such marriages were not legal in
Illinois, did not legitimatize children
and did not bestow property or inher-
itance rights. A court at Edwards
vile has gone farther than that re-
Gently, and summoned for contempt
of court a couple married out of the
state contrary to the court decree.

RUSH o APPLICANTS FOR
OFFICE OF LIQUOR faster
Ontario, Canada, Will Hire Sampler,
80 much "Watered Stock" is Sold

Toronto, Ontario, Feb. There
was rush of applicants to-day at the
office of the provincial secretary OF
Ontario for positions as liquor tast-
ers'' under the ewly organized move
ment for governmental supervision of
all the drinkables on sale at public
bars and hotels. The extensive sale
of liquor and the widespread prac-
tice of refilling bottles has aroused
the hotel men, who have agreed to
ask the government to see that only
first-class liquid refreshment is dis
pensed in this province.
The movement was hailed with jos
by the bibulous ones, who have 90
long suffered from "watered stock"
and other tricks of the trade. The
"tasters' will make daily rounds Il
the bars and investigate the charac-
ter of liquor sold. Several applicants
have announced their willingness t.
work for nothing other than expens-
