THE MAGIC OF THE SOIL,

John T. Knight unloaded a water
melon at this office Friday last that
weighed in the neighborhood of 40
pounds. 1t was not considered an alb
normal specimen of that pleasant pal
ate ticker, for big melons are what
Mr.. knight harvests every season. The
only draw back about such melons is
they have to be carved with cross
cut saw. OF course the melon attract
ed much attention from strangers, al
though TOO eomon among old timers
familiar with what the country can do
in the way of yielding big things of a
vegetable nature to arouse comment.
Those who live here know what the
soil can produce when properly culti-
waited and watered. There is hardly any
limit to productiveness, no matter what
the character of the seed planted. All
that is needed is the application OF
energy and the stimulation of mois-
ture. Mr. Knight and Mr.. McGinty are
ctlllOHS InC IllOol ouISCSoIb III vi uioIt'
land growers in this locality. Their
ranches are near together on the east
side of the Okanogan river, a short
distance from Oroville. They are show
places. However, the soil is not one
whit better than that of adjoining land,
reachable with water and most of 1t
is under the big ditch system which will
do for other men what it has for the
gentlemen named, when the same
effort is applied. When the right pro-
cess of cultivation and handling is in
troduced the 10000 acres under the
project, from the British Columbia
lime to Tonasket will be one vast Eden
with the Okonogan valley holding a
slight edge on Eden.
