 neither should they have any trouble
 in producing such quantities as would
 enable them to ship four baskets to

 load, with their lands in exceptionally
 fine condition as they are at the
 present time, having been bountiful-
 ly supplied with rain, an abundance
 stored at the dam for future re-
 cuirements and a market open to
 them on the Pacific coast that will create a demand heavier this year than ever before on account of the
 greater number of people who will visit the San Francisco and san

 be grown here, among which might be mentioned the Early Anna" "Se-
 lect Stone" 'Chalk's Early Jewel, and while it may not be possible to secure the plants to start with it is an easy matter to obtain the seed. which should be planted as soon as possible, 6x6, each vine to be staked and pruned and allowed to bear 9 ! to 10 tomatoes. and after the toma : toes reach .a marketable size nitrate of soda can be applied in sufficient quantity to color preparatory to ship ping.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR :

Chances for Money Making In This
 Valley.

The Salt River Valley having de- monstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt her ability to produce lettuce in abundance and of the finest quali- ty, now offers another opportunity to the tillers of the soil in the pro- duction of tomatoes. With the Mex ican crop off the market for some time to come, Florida tomatoes ship ped to Portland and Seattle in April and May, the Imperial valley crop going to Los Angeles in June in less than carload lots, there is ample opportunity for the farmers of the Salt River Valley. to ship several car leads of this commodity to these mar kets and add considerable to their bank account this year under such favorable circumstances as exist to- day. It should not be a difficult
 matter for farmers in the valley to raise tomatoes of such a size that

.OELUGE OF BILLS
 IN OTHER STATES

That the Arizona legislature, in spite of all that has been said about it, fell far short of the mark set by the solons of several other states is shown by the advance sheets of the national library reference bureau. which have just been received by the state librarian.
 The report, which contains the number and title of every bill in- troduced in each state assembly up to the end Of January, shows that. Missouri had the greatest crop of bills at that time In twelve days 734 bills had been introduced in the house, and 34. in the senate. In Kansas the first sixteen days of work resulted in 579 measures being thrown into the house hopper. while the senate had 4S2 to consider.

MAI. GEN. M|CKLE
PRESENTS annual
j. c. Y. REPORT
(By Associated Press)

Richmond, Va, June 3.-Major
General William e. Mickle, adju-
tant general and chief of staff of the
United Confederate Veterans. pre-
sented his annual report today to
Commander-in-C Chief Young. 1t re-
fleets the passing of the men who
composed the armies of the South.
1t follows in full:
"The year just closed has been
the most discouraging which have
known since ! was appointed adju-
tant general by General John B.
Gordon, nearly fourteen years ago.
The receipts from the camps show
woeful decline (Which must be
expected) and the death rate among
our beloved comrades has been ap-
palling.
Camps: During the year charters
have been issued to ten new camps,
distributed as follows: Oklahoma
Division, three; Virginia, Florida
and Texas. two each; Georgia, one.
This increase is more than offset by
the forfeiture of charter by twenty
six camps, making net loss of
sixteen. Then, the membership of
many in good standing is so reduced
that these barely keep alive, and
cannot for many years more. The
fact that sufficient numbers have
been found to organize ten camps is
encouraging. and shows that the
spirit of the sixties" still lives in
the hearts of the immortal surviv-
ors of the Confederate armies.

WATERNEL0NS
ARE LEAVING
The STATE

Jacksonville, June 2-The first
car of watermelons to move this sea-
son was shipped by d. H. Gilbert
from Fort Myers May 27. There
will be, however, only a few cars
moved before June 10. There have
been heavy and continued showers
throughout every melon growing
section of the state and the rains
have caused injury to the small
fruit. This will materially aid the
quality and size of the large fruit
but will make the crop later than
first anticipated.
The melon crop of Florida and
South Georgia, while not as large as
usual, looks promising as to the size
and quality of the fruit. In an in
terview with S. C. Mayo, represen-
tring Shackelford-BrOwn Company,
of Albany, Ca, he said: There will
only be ten to fifteen cars of melons
moved before June 10. The melon
crop south of Ocala is discouraginh
to the growers as continued showers
have caused the. small melons to dry
UP as fast as they appear on the
vines, which will make the crop
much later than figured on. i be-
lieve the movement when it starts
will be general all over the country.
The weather conditions have been
favorable for cantaloupes and toma-
toes"
d. H. Gilbert, who is now located
at Lakeland, in conversation with
The Packer man, said: 81 shipped
my first car of melons May 81, and
will ship three more cars about June
1. Vines are looking very promising
for crop of fine melons but the first
shipments will be about three weeks
later than usual. do not believe
that more than five cars Of ripe
melons will be shipped before June
10 A great many fields in the
southern melon section will not have
ripe melons before June Is. I have
approximately 1000 acres through
out Georgia and Florida.
