N. Y. BUILDINGS HIGH
Skyscrapers of Gotham Are
MarveIS of Height.
Wooiwcrth Structure Is Giant Of All,
Being .756 Feet Above the Pave

Pyramid of Checps.

New York.-A well-known insurance
company has stated it's intention Of
putting up a building that will tower
901 feet into space and possess some
~siXty-odd stories. A few months ago
q piece of ground at the junction Of
Broadway and Wall street vas sold
for $500 a square foot, or $25, 900
per acre. This is the highest price
ever paid for a building site.
The giant among these skyscrapers
Is the Woolworth building, which
reaches a height above the pavement
Of 756 feet. 1t is more than twice the
height of st. Paul's cathedral and
some 200 feet higher than the Great
Pyramid Of Cheops. A few months
ago the 46-story Metropolitan building
held the palm for height. its topmost
pinnacle is 6S5 feet above the level

writer vas informed five years ago
by one of the best growers that he
had a ten year contract with a lead
ing New York city hotel, which
agreed to take every first class melon
he raised. This particular case is
cited in order to display the keen de-
mand which exists among high class
of melon during the season in which
it is on the market.
The high prices which these mel
ons command, and their restricted
production Notwithstanding the high
prices, are doubtless due to the fact
hat greater skill is demanded and
closer attention to details is neces-
sary to success than when other va
rieties are grown. Furthermore, glass
sash and frames are needed. Then
again, the Montreal grower confident
ly believes that this particular sort
CT melon can be successfully grown
only on certain types of soil on the
island Of Montreal. This belief seems
to have this much basis in fact, that
while occasionally grown elsewhere
high favored melons have not COM
monty been produced saw by Mon
treal growers; indeed flavor has u.s.
ually been lacking.
The crop is a remunerative one,
when conditions favor. From $500
to $4,000 per acre are not unusual re-
turns. Mr.. u. S. Blair estimates an
average crop at S2,250 per acre, with
operating expenses, including inter-
est on investment and depreciation,
of $500. One grower informed the
writer that his average sales from
seven to eight acres was in the
vicinity of $4,000.
These melons vary greatly in size.
The writer was informed by one COM
mission house that II had purchased a
melon weighing Al pounds; and he
personally saw one weighing %
pounds which had been selected by
the grower for seed purposes.
The average weight Of No. l melons
ranges from 8 to Is pounds, with a
mean weight Of about 10 pounds;
that is to say, a dozen melons, packed
for shipment, will weigh on an aver
age from 120 to $50 pounds.
There seems to be two distinct
types Of melons under cultivation,

other more or less oblong. the first

SAVING THE STRAW STACKS
Much Viii Go to Waste at Harvest
Time Unless Steps Are Taken to
Get Them Into Shape.
By w. F.

Unless steps are taken at harvest
time to save the straw stacks, much
of the straw will go to waste in one
way or another.
This is practically true where the
stacks are poorly constructed, as they
usually are with our modern wire
stackers if there are no hands on the
stack at the time of the threshing.
The only way a well shaped, water.
proof stack can be secured is to have
one or two good hands on the stack as
the grain is being threshed. Then,
after the machine leaves, the stack
can be completed in a short time, as
the straw will save, with but little
loss.
If it is not possible to have the
hands on the stack while the straw is
being piled up it can be worked over
afterward. This should be done be-
fore rain has fallen TO settle the straw,
however, and a fairly good job made
of it.
The newly made stack should then
be fenced so that the stock cannot run
to it before the straw is we'll settled.
A bunch of cattle will destroy a new
stack in a very short time if permitted
to have free acces to it.
Other animals are not so bad in this
respect, still, they can do considerable
damage.
Before any stock are turned TO the
straw the scattnrincs ShOuld ha gath.
cred from the sides of the stack.
If they are allowed to remain about
the stack they will form steps on
which the stock can climb to. the top
Of the stack, thus doing much damage.
Loose straw about the stack should
also be Kept cleaned up at all times.
Stock will trample this under foot and
so spoil it for feeding and bedding pur.
poses.

DEMAND FOR MELONS
HIGH PRICES PAID FOR FRUIT IN
EASTERN CITIES.
Culture OF Montreal Variety Confined
Almost Exclusively to Small
Group of Growers In Can
ada-Skill Required.
CBy

Some time ago the writer in an
article on cultural studies Of the
Montreal market muskmelon, showed
that the commercial culture of the
famous Montreal melon is confined
almost wholly to a small group of
growers ear Montreal, Canada. 1t
was also pointeQ out that, while a
large portion or these melons were
marketed in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and other large eastern cities
at extremely remunerative prices,
practically no effort was being made
by American gardeners to meet this
demand. More recent observations
have confirmed these statements,
and in addition, have shown that not
w~ithstanding the fact that the Mon
treal growers have for the past few
years received from ten to eighteen
dollars a dozen wholesale for their
melons, they have not as yet sue
ceeded in supplying the demand. The
