WATERMELONS SELL
FOR So EACH IN l.. A.

This week the earliest shipment of
wateTmelons ever made from Heber
was made by G. Tomimori--a ship
ment of four crates of melons to the
Arakelian Brothers of Los Angeles.
In past years no shipment has been
made before the last of June ac-
cordirg to Station Master Tuttle.
The melons sold in Los Angeles for
50 piece, so Mr.. Tomimori reports.
Mr.. Tomimori plans to ship car
load of the melons tomorrow night,
Such shipments at this early date
are entirely without precedent in the
history of Heber.
Although the melons shipped by
Mr.. Tomimori were unusually early
melons, it is believed that all the wa
termelons in the Heber district will
be picked and shipped uncommonly
early this year. Mr.. Tomimori hopes
to have enough melons to warrant
another shipment in the near future.
A shipment from the Arakelian
Brothers ranch southeast of Heber is
expected before very long. L. H.
Shaffer anticipates having ripe melons
in ten days, or two weeks hence at
the latest.
The growers declare that this years
crop of watermelons will be over so
per cent larger than last years crop,
1t is estimated that about 200 carloads
of melons will go out of Heber this
year.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Department of Science.
(By Minor Sweeney


Under the supervision of Mr.. House
and Miss Stone the Department Of
Science of the Central Union High
School is taking care of the needs
of the students who wish the high
est in education obtainable in the High
School.
Miss Stone has charge of the chem
istry and physiography classes. The
fact that she is holding the interest
of the students is we'll Illustrated when
some of the boys can be seen with
jars of ants, having ant fights.
Miss Stone has secured a number
of collections of household articles
from the manufacturers, showing the
process by which they are made.
The chemical laboratory will be sup
piled with new tablets and new ap-
paratus for next year. 1t has a ce-
ment floor, concrete ledge around the
room and a fireproof closet for the
chemicals. i
The agricultural class is one of the
most practical in the High School
AS Imperial Valley is farmers coun-
try, it should be farmed scientifically.
The class has had a great deal of
practical experience in gardening,
pruning trees and transplanting trees
and plants.
About 200 grape cuttings. consist
ing cf forty varieties, were put out,
besides over 100 trees and plants do
mated by the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington and 100 that were
bought by the school. A. Anderson
has donated number of spineless
cactus for experimental purposes.
There are over 1870 deciduous fruit
trees and forty citrus trees, including
all the leading varieties. Some Of
these are already bearing.
In addition to these, there is a large
variety of shade trees and over 500
Seeding date palms. Some of the
date palsm are fruiting this year.
There are ten varieties of these on
the grounds at present.
The biological laboratory has a
large collection of birds, insects,
snakes, lizards, ETC., besides several
hundred microscopic slides showing
all the plant and anirlal sections, in
sect structures, and the complete Sc
ries Of the embryology of the chick
and the frog. There are also about
200 lantern slides, most of them col
ored, which are used in connection
with classroom work. All these ma
terials are the private property OF
Mr.. House, who has spent severa
years in preparing them.
