Marketing Western Muskmelons.

Washington, D. C. Nov. IL
Greater cooperation by growers
is needed in the marketing Of
the 1000 carloads Of muskmel-
ons shipped from western pro-
ducing regions, according to
market specialists of the u. s..
Department of Agriculture. The
various methods employed in
in marketing the melons from
the five most important western
producing points in 1915 are out
lined in u. S. Department Of Ag-
riculture Bulletin No. 401, re-
Gently issued.
The earliest of the western
muskmelon producing sections,
the Imperial Valley, California,
produces the greatest number of
cars. A, 722, the bulletin shows.
Shipments begin late in May and
extend past the middle of July.
Practically the total output of
melons is shipped through local
commercial distributors, who re-
ceive a commission, and who
help finance the growers by
making cash advances on an
acreage basis and supplying
crate material on credit. I'm
provements in distribution con
tracts and the exercise Of g
greater degree of personal su.
pervision by growers in picking
packing, and loading operations
are recommended by the SPECIAL
lists.
The Salt River Valley, Arizona
is the second shipping region fol
western muskmelons in point Of
time, shipments extending from
early July to early August. The
volume of shipments from this
district, however, is only about
one-tenth that from the Imperia
Valley, Growers in the Sal
River Valley also ship through
distributors and receive cash ad
vances through the growing ant
shipping seasons.
Almost coincident with tn.
shipments from the Salt Rive.
Valley, shipments of melons tax

Nevada. These shipments il
1916 aggregated 276 cars. Com

SWINE IN ORCHARDS
CAUSE MUCH INJURY
Never Safe to Permit Hogs or
Cattle Among Fruit Trees Un-
less Grass Is Plentiful.

The question Is often asked, "Is 1t
safe to let hogs run in an orchard"
1t will be safe if you will watch two
or three important points. One is to
be sure and see that the hogs do not
get to rubbing the trees hard, as in
the process of scratching themselves.
Sometimes when hogs have lice they
will rub against the trees and thus
cause considerable damage or injury
to the tree. This damage may finally
end in collar blight of the apple, and
by this means the hogs also aid, in
spreading the collar blight or rot which
is far the most serious disease of the
apple tree.
Another point to watch is that hogs
do not root out the roots of the young
trees. If there are white grubs in the
ground close to the roots the hogs may
root there to obtain them and by tear
ing out the roots they would of course
do considerable damage.
The last point is the possible dam
age to the lower branches or low-hang-
ing fruit, but if such injury is observed
at the beginning it is easy to prevent
it from going further by removing the
hogs from the orchard.
In general, it may be said that it is
never safe to let hogs or cattle run in
any kind of orchard young or old, un-
less there is plenty of pasture or food
therein. When the food supply runs
low, look out.

INSECT PESTS EASY
TO KILL IN WINTER
Destroy Trash and Litter Where
ever 1t Has Accumulated
Cut Out Dead Limbs.

(By T. J. TALBERT. Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
Take advantage Of the bugs in their
winter quarters, the remnants of old
plants, the trash and litter about the
garden and orchard. Burn out the
fence rows, destroy the trash and litter
wherever 1t has accumulated by burn
ing it or blowing it under. Cut out
the dead trees and limbs in the orchard
and make them into firewood.
This cleaning up about the orchard
and garden will destroy a dozen or
more of our most destructive pests.
For example, the plum curculio is now
wintering as a full-grown beetle in the
trash and litter along the fence rows or
about the trees; the codling moth will
be found in the worm stage within a
Silken cocoon tucked away under the
shelly bark of dead trees and dead
limbs; and the fruit tree bark beetles
or shot hole bOrers will also be found
wintering mostly as adult beetles in
dead or dying trees.
Under the old stalks and rubbish in
the garden and about the borders will
be found the adult asparagus beetle,
bean-leaf beetle, harlequin cabbage bug,
flea beetles, the striped cucumber bee
tie and the chrysalis of the cabbage
worm. If you want to kill these pests,
pile and burn dead tomato and pea
vines and other remains of vegetation
in the garden and along the border.
Deep fall or early winter plowing
will also destroy many insects. This
is especially true of the cutwOrms, po-
tatO beetles, white grubS and wire
worms which are now hibernating ill
the soil. Late fall or early winter
plowing will turn these insects up near
the surface and expose them to an at
tack of birds, poultry and other ami
mails. At this season of the year the
insects are in a dormant or semidOr-
mant condition, and when brought up

Development Of Opera.

Opera has made extensive strides
during the last century, although it's
origin is very remote. 1t came through
a gradual course of development from
almost the beginning of the Christian
era; earliest librettists were such emf
nent men as Aeschylus and Sophocles,
who accompanied their spoken drama
with band of Tyres and flutes.
But grand opera, as we understand
1t today, originated about the end of
the sixteenth century, when Jacopo
Peri's opera, "Dafne," was first pre-
Sented. 1t originated through the
gathering of small party of music
lovers at the home of FlOrentine no.
bleman. Theories grew into actuali-
ties when performance of "Dafne"
was celebrated in the palace of Corsi
in 1895. This opera was successfully
performed several times, but always in
private, and now the score is not dis
coverable.

opinion Of any writer as gospel, but
visit some orchardist who is near to
your place and has similar soil cOndi-
tIOns and ask him about his expert
ence. He can give hints Of very great
value.
And do not plant any crabs. Forty
years ago it was the fashion to plant
various kinds of crabs and before ap-
Piles were plentiful they did have some
value. But we have passed by the
crab age. There are still some house
keepers who want a few crabs to jell,
pickle, etc. If your wife IS one of that
class and you want to indulge her do
not plant more than one tree.
The question is often asked: How
many trees should be planted for
family orchard? That is one of those
general questions which requires a va
riety of answers. Some families use
manT more apples than others. It may
be ten good trees, when they
com full fruitage, will supply an
ordi ~ family in all good fruit years.
Some would say that five trees were
enough and others would increase the

There sometimes seems reason for q
complaint common among writer's of
this day that artists do not read the
text they are to illustrate. In one Of
the leading magazines recently the
writer mentioned the fact that her
heroine was entirely bald-a circum-
stance, indeed, that might have been
deduced from the fact that she was
nearly one hundred years old.
Picture the authors disgust when
the old woman was represented with
head of hair that might have served
for the advertisement of some wonder

happy writer who wrote story about

PLAN 70 SET APPLE TREES NEXT SPRING

There are thousands Of farmers at
this time who are planning to set ap-
pie trees next spring. encouraged by
the bountiful crops or fruit Of last
summer. And this is a work which
ought not to be undertaken hastily,
but to avoid costly errors there should
be some knowledge of varieties, their
season and quality.
First of all, earnestly resolve that
you will not plant any Of the early
varieties, like Duchess and Yellow
Transparent. In a good fruit year you
may get all you need Of these sorts
just for picking them up Of your neigh
bOrs. Why should you grow more of
the unstable kinds2 This is said
under the supposition that you are
planting an orchard for home use
chiefly, says Iowa Homestead.
OF course, If you are planting a
commercial orchard, or have facilities
for shipping to a big city market, that
alters the case, and you may make
good profit from the early varieties.

munities 1t would be better if two

feet apart. The ground may be plant
ed with corn or potatoes or some
other hoed crop for the first five
years.
If you are planting simply for home
use, not intending to market, one tree
of the Wealthy is enough. If the JON

them in your list. Black Annette and
Salome are good keepers and are

ASSERTS MULES LOVE MUSIC
A California Farmer Has His Phono-

The Colorado farmer who gets more

George A. Gage of Sutter county,
California, claims to be the first "mu-
sical farmer"
Gage raises mules and horses. He
has big music box on his farm and
he plays band pieces, preferably soOth-

"Mules love music" said Gage. 81

drove Benjamin Harrison-the orneri-
est old mule you ever saw-to Yuba
City when brass band was playing.
"The mule had one of his balky, con-
trary spells that day, and could hard
ly do a thing with Benjamin until we
got to Yuba City. You'd never believe
it if told you the change just few

From that day until Benjamin's death
he was the gentlest, lOvingest old mule
you ever would want to see.
"That gave me an idea. When I
break my mule colts now always have
the phOnograph play. 1t seems to at
tract the mules attention from the
harness and wagon.
'HOrses don't seem to be affected
much. But mules are nearer human
than horses anyway"
