0CE HARRIS GIVEN

Gee Harris, a well known
young man OF this city, and form
erly Of Paris, Tenn, was found
guilty by a jury, Thursday after
noon at ii3O. ON charge of taking
funds from the safe of the Hick-
man Drug Co. His attorneys at
once filed motion for a new trial.
but this was refused by Judge
Flat, the trial Judge, who pro-
ceeded, Saturday morning, 10
sentenced Harris TO year and
a day at hard labor in the penn
Tertiary. While the evidence was
purely clrcumstantiaL a very
strong ease was made out against
the unfortunate young man.
He is also under indictment
for malicious shooting or shoot
ing with intent to kill, la this
case he is charged with shooting
thgec times at q. b kerlin,
one night near the Christian

being followed by a man, who
proved to be Harris. When ar
rested in connection with this
trouble, he drew a gun on Chief
John Wright. for which Judge

ten days in Jail placing him un-
der $1,000 bond for the shoot
ing.

An acre planted by five feet

six by four feet il contains 1910
hills Allowing for disease and
insects. il would be safe 10 count
ON 1900 to 1900 hills at picking
time-this. provided the necessary
attention has been given To the
cultivation and care of the
the hill. This would give 1900
plants. A very low estimate would
be three marketing melons to the
hill. This would give 1900 melon
TO the acre, or about 100 crates
standard measure which ordinar-
lily sell for rs cents net, over
and above all expenses OF freight,
icing and commission, or IN 9TH
er words, % cents per crate on
board ears at your shipping point.
On this basis, it is estimated that
an acre of cantaloupes with dill
gent and careful attention, would
produce $4,000 net above cost OF
cultivation, fertilizers, picking,
packing, etc.
A standard crate is l2xl2 inch
es, u inches long. outside meas
urement, and holds 40 aver
age size Rocky Ford cantaloupes,
packed five lengthwise and three
across. A pony crate is llxllx24
inches. outside measurement, and
ought TO contain forty-four small
er sized melons, packed six
lengthwise and three across. The.
jumbo crates are the same size AZ
the standards, but in packing the
larger sized melons, the crate
will contain only twenty seven or
thirty-six melons.
Ii is almost necessary to have
an expert cantaloupeman TO show
when 10 pick the melons and
how TO pack the various crates
The Business League will no
doubt get a man here for Eat
purpose.
Care should be taken to provide
a nice looking, substantial crate
for the reason that the appear
ance of the package will have
great deal TO do with the price
obtained for the melons. Ii
would be best TO order as early as
you can determine the number of
. melons set 0h your vines, suffi-
cient crates 10 take care of them,
making contract for rush or
ders TO fill out any later mex-
pected yield. The crates cost, de
llvered, 10 TO IL cents each. II
is probable the Mengel Box Co.
will make arrangements to fur
nish these and other crates we
will need.
Good seed are absolutely essen
tial TO a good crop. Ii is best to
secure seed which have been
grown in the Rocky Ford, Colo,
section by seed specialists.

AS many OF our truck growers
will plant their first merchant
able crop of cantaloupes this
spring. the Courier believes the
following paragraphs will be
worth reading:
The average farmer, with the
help of his family in the thinning
aud picking, can very well attend
to from five TO eight acres OF
cantaloupes up TO the picking, pro
vlded he deyotes the best part Of
his time to it. If he should have
the help of another man. he can
attend this acreage without ma
terially interfering with other
crops. If man has no help in
cultivating and looking after the
cantaloupes and does not want
to devote his entire attention to
II, two or three acres can be safe
ly planted and sufficient time
taken to look after Them without
materially interfering with his
other farm work. The cultivation
period extends from the last of
April 10 about the l0.h ef June,
or about forty days.
Care should be taken in all cul-
tiyation to prevent disturbing the
roots.
Some growers practice the plan
of training the vines along the
rows, leaving a passage between
the-rows, claiming this is especial
ly advantageous at picking time
as il enables the melons to be
gathered without INJURY to the
vines, which would be caused by
walking over them.
Experience has proven that
nothing is gained by pruning the
vines. In fact, If not pruned, the
bearing season of the vine is
heightened. and in ease the mar
ket holds good, will afford a long
er shipping season.
Too much importance cannot be-
laid on thorough and deep cnl-
tivation of the ground before
planting, in fact, all deep cultivl-
tion should be done before the
seed go into the ground. All
cultivation after the plants are
up should be shallow and thor.
ough, so as to hold the moisture
and keep down the grass and
weeds.
II will require at least two
pickers and one packer to each
ten acres. In the rush season
which lasts usually about five
days. il would be better to have
AN additional picker. One packcl
can keep up very comfortably
with three pickers.
I'm hauling the cantaloupes
springs should be provided for all
wagons. Ii is not safe to handle
them in ordinary farm wagons un
less springs are attached. These
can be bought from the Hickman
Wagon Co. at a small cost and
