SUCCESS OF soUAB BUSINESS

 government expert wrote recently of the introduction of the tomato as one of the romances of agriculture. Only few years ago despised as a poisonous plant, it is now universally used as food, thousands of acres are given to it's cultivation. and millions of dollars are invested in plants where the. tomato is canned to be carried to all parts of the world.
 Agriculture is full of such romances, The introduction of alfalfa. almost un- known in this country 20 years ago, and now one of the most valuable crops of the west, is one of these romances. The spread of the cantaloupe is another.
 Thirty years ago, even 20, the canta- loupe was not much prlzed as now. There were cantaloupes then, but we did not call them by that name; we knew them as muskmelons. The large muskmelon or mushmelon was the more popular. II grew almostsas large as the pumpkin and its flesh was orange or reddish in color and it lacked the delicious flavor of the modern cantaloupe.
 An old resident of Kansas City re- lates that some 20 years or so ago Col. D. B. Dyer. returning from a western trip. told him that he had eaten in the Arkansas valley in Colorado the finest cantaloupe in all creation. He grew elo- quent when he tried to describe it's ex- quisite flavor. That was what is now known as the Rocky Ford cantaloupe. but it was unknown to the rest of the world then.
 It is not known certainly how the best cantaloupe in the world came to be in that part of the Arkansas valley. Some say a distinct variety originated there. Others contend that soil and cimat te combined there to produce high quality |of flavor. Beets grown there con tan an unusually large percentage of sugar.

There is one advantage in killing by dslocation, and that is that while the body is as free from blood as when any other methed IS employed, the air is not permitted to enter the veins and arteries and dry out the chicken.
