growers prided themselves on the purity
OF their melons.
Bees are now kept on large melon farms
to carry the pollen from one blossom to
another. and when sQuashes and pumpkins
are planted here and there through the
helds, OF course the busy working bees
gather the pollen from the pumpkin bloom
and scatter 1t among the melons. II Is
necessary to have the bees. as there is sex
IN melons as we'll as in anything else, and
10 produce an abundant crop the pollen
has TO be carried from one to the other,
but the deliberate pumpkin and squash
cross threatens TO produce a melon that
cannot be bred back to its former sweet
ness and crisp tenderness, such as was to
be had IN the virgin melons of a few years
ago.
Unless there Is a heroic effort on the
part or careful experts, We shall actually
lose our luscious melons and We shall be
compelled 10 eat goards and squashes in
their stead.

THE increasing demand for melons

hne the real article only to those who can
AFFORD iuxuries. During recent seasons
there have been many complaints from
the people at large that the melons they
bought at reasonable prices did not have
the flavor or tenderness Of those a few
years back. The reason for this is in the
methods used to get a quickly growing.

"Why, these women workers are the
most altruistic human beings In the

they are. Men have said that women
do not stand by each other. and have
no loyalty to other women. 1t may
have been true before women went
into the world to earn their living, but
il isn't now. These organized women
are Just as faithful 70 each other and

On the other hand, determination ap-
