The cantaloupe grow CT should aim at nothing short of the highest degree of success and in order to realize this thorough study and close atten- tion to details will be necessary.
 IRISH POTATFES. The Irish potato crop can be marketed be- tween the radish and cantaloupe crop, say from the last of May to the middle ef June, and it will not interfere with either of these crops. Our best grade of land, under liberal fertilization and good cultural methods should easily yield from 125 to 175 bush els of marketable tubers per acre, with an outlay around $20 per acre. depending on prices of seed, fertilizers, etc. Good po- tatoes, properly graded and han died to the best advantage can

facilities of this section of the state offer the farmers very efficient outlet to the great markets centers of the United States for all the market table commodities they can produce, where the necessary care istaken in the production of quality, in grading. packing and other inn portant and essential details. In many respects the farmers have advantages not enjoyed by others less fortunately situated. They have soil and climate wonderfully adpated to the successful production of wide range of desirable crops; a wide awake, intelligent people who are capable of succeeding Tn most any venture, and being already fairly we'll organized, and having had considerable in good posit- ion to make rapid advancement until the business is developed to it's fullest extent.
 would like to call the atten- tion to the many crops that can be advantageously grown and marketed from this section, with a brief discussion of each, It is ways wise and quite advan- tageous to select one crop as leader" as cantaloupes, for in- stance, but 1t is never a wise policy to confine our efforts to q single crop, on account of the fact that conditions, both in the areas of production and in the markets vary so widely from year to year. If for any reason there should be a total or partial failure of our leading crop during any par ticular season, the deficiency may be supplied with other crops with less importance.
 A list, or series of crops should be selected and gown so as to afford an income practically the year around instead of having it come within a comparatively short time from one or more crops. While a system of this kind will necesitate the growing of smaller acreages of the differ ent crops in most instances, yet it is easy to understand that it would be more advantageous to the grower as a rule.
 RADISHES. This crop can be grown largely as side-line, as it does not interfere with any other crops; and being very cas- ly and quickly grown at very small outlay, affording quick returns on the investment, make it very attractive; and there IS room for a wide expansion of the radish acreage in this section, However, we do not advise every body to put in radishes, especially | anything like a large acreage. l From one-half to two acres IS about all any one former should l put in. In order to be success fuI with radishes, they must be grown quickly. and the soil be rich, and in a fine state of cultivation.
 CANTALOUPES. The grow ing of cantaloupes for market is coming to be a highly specialized industry, and those who contemp- late taking it up. should recog- nize this fact. At the present this is the leading truck grown in this section, and as the soil and climate conditions appear highly favorable to it, and many of our farmes having already 1 been successful in it's culture for the past several years, it appears reasonably certain that it will not only continue to be our leader hnt that the acreape will be in- 1
