 Anyway, New York is pleased win the plan and has appointed a child welfare board under Mayor Mitchell to administer 1t. Since the date of the appointment. August 6. 1915 the child welfare board has received more than nine thousand apul..l- tions from widowed mothers seeking assistance, and allowances have been granted to one thousand one hundred.
 The law has set no maximum on the amount that may be granted, bu board has decided that no allowance will be granted in excess of s60 per month. Most of the allowances are far below that figure. however. Of of the pensions now in force, fifteen families are receiving no more than ten dollars a month, four hundred and four are receiving from tn to twenty dollars. three hundred and thirteen from twenty to thirty dollars two hundred and fifteen receive thir- ty to forty dollars and the remainder from forty to sixty.
 Considering that few dollars a month in a family deprived of It's bread winner are often sufficient to maintain the home in comparative comfort when It would otherwise have to be abandoned. the good work of Now York Ia worthy of the highest

the plants that remain.
Cultivation,


Cultivate frequently but not too
close to the plants and each successive
cultivation should be little deeper.
This establishes deep root system so
that the plants will not suffer from
dry weather With hand hoe remove
the crust from around the plants and
replace with fine loose soil. After rains
the crust should be broken around the
plants and the space between rows
cultivated lightly with a cultivator. II
under irrigation. they should be water
ed about every two weeks and the wa
tering continued throughout the grow
ing season to keep the vines healthy.
Irrigation during the ripening season
prolongs the setting and growing of
fruits. Withholding the water has a
tendency to ripen the fruit.
Insects and Diseases.
The small. yellow and black striped
back beetle which commonly attacks
cucumbers and squashes also fire.
Quently works upon the musk melon
The roots are attacked as soon as the
plant appears above the ground and
unless prompt attention is given the
entire plantation is liable TO be des-
troyed. Probably the easiest and most
efficient method of Kidding the plant of
this beetle is TO dust the plants with
land plaster. sifted ashes or other fine
powder to which a small quantity OF
turpentine or crude carbolic acid has
been added.
About the time that the melons are
nearly ripe fungus disease known as
rust is likely TO cause the foliage TO
collapse and the melons TO ripen pre-
maturely without the proper develop
ment OF netting and flavor. This dis
ease appears at first as small circular
brown spots on the leaves. which grad
ually increase in size and number I'M
Ill they run together and the entire
leaf becomes brown and dead. Rust can
be controlled TO some extent by spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture which
should be considerably diluted.
Harvesting.
The melon deteriorates very rapidly
under carless methods of seed selec-
ton None but the choicest specimens
OF the desired type from productive.
healthy vines should be selected for
seed. 1t is unsafe 10 cut melons for
seed from fields which contain more
than one variety. When the melon is
fully mature. select the medium sized
specimens of such varieties as Rocky
Ford, Burrell's Gem. etc, which are
shipping cantaloupes. As uniformity in
size and shape is the all important fac
tor in Standardization. selection of such
varieties must be with reference to
these qualities. The seed is removed by
splitting the melon and removing the
seed layers. These should be placed in
a tub or vessel with sieve at bottom
fine enough TO hold the seeds and still
allow the pulp to run through A
stream of water run through the mass
for an hour should thoroughly clear
the seed, which then should be thoro-
ughly dried at once by spreading on 2
canvas or screen in the shade. Do not
allow the seed to remain in the water
more than an hour or two as germin-
alton is very rapid and the seeds will
split. When perfectly cured melon seed
retains its vitality for several years.

COMMERCIAL SEED GROWING.
(By c. ". II. Heideman.)
Musk Melon. Canteloupe.

The musk melon is a warm season
crop and neither good melons nor good
seed can be produced on commercial
scale except in localities where Den:
corn will fully ripen. Canteloupes Of
trade are now so popular all over the
United States that the industry is as
Stunning large proportions. Market
growers know and appreciate the value
of northern grown seed. Localities TO
the far north that can produce seeds of
a high grade will find a ready market
for such seeds at premium over the
southern grown seeds.
Soil.
The soil for melons must be well
drained and contain an abundance OF
humus and readily available plant food.
Ii these conditions are met it matters
little what the particular type OF sol.
may be, though q sandy loan is the
ideal type. Prepare deep, finely pull
verified and we'll settled seed bed by
blowing in the spring or reploging If
II were broken in the fall. After the
soil has been plowed it should be thor
oughly disked or narrowed and then
kept in good friable condition until
planting time By the use OF harrow.
II is only good garden soil that has
been made exceedingly rich by re-
peated applications of manure that il
is wise TO attempt 10 grow melons on
without a special treatment OF the
hills. The manure for use in the hills
should be old and we'll rotted and
thoroughly mixed with the soil in the
hills.
Planting.
Unless the soil is warm and the
weather favorable the seed will not
terminate nor the plants grow. II is
unwise to plant in advance Of the seas
on On soils that the vines make only
a moderate growth the hills may be
four feet apart each way but on strong
hills six feet apart will be found bet
ter. From eight TO ten seeds should be
scattered uniformly over the hills and
covered with fine soil 10 a depth OF
from three quarters OF an inch 10 an
inch and a half This should then be
frmed with the back of hoe and then
raEed over lightly with a garden rake.
Thinning.
When the plants are well establish
ed and have made three or four leaves,
thin out TO one or two plants 10 a hill
where planted closely and TO three or
four plants where planted further
apart. Care must be observed in the
thinning not TO disturb the roots Of
