CAN YOU TELL A GOOD
 MELON FROM POOR ONE?

LAS CRUCES. N. NJ, Oct How may a thrifty housewife tell a good cantaloupe from an inferior one?
 This is the question packers of loc ally grown cantaloupes are asked daily The answer is by the netting. The inspectors judge the melons as they are brought in from the valley farms by the netting or wins which appear on the outside of the ripe cantaloupe
 If this netting is distinct and stands out from the surface the melon is of good stock, ripe and ready for ship ment. But if the netting lies close to the surface and is undeveloped, the melon is either green of poor stock and is rejected along with all others from that crate.

FISHERMEN ARE
 PUZZLED OVER
 STRANGE FISHES
Attribute the Chance to The Ocean Currents the Last
 Two Years
(ASsocidted FreSS)


 SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Oct. 2.- That a change in ocean currents with in the last year is bringing new species of fish to waters off San Francisco is the belief of fishermen and of w. F. Bailey, chief clerk of the State Fish Exchange, as the result of recent catches of fish heretofore little known here.
 One of the most remarkable catches was made recently when fishermen made haul of 32,O00 pounds of plaice Ia species of sole. most common in wat CTS around the British Isles and some parts of the Atlantic.
 Another catch made last week bear ing out the theory of the change in currents. was that of $500 pounds of halibut. Catches of halibut have been almost unknown here, altho it had been imported here in large quantities from British Columbia before the war
 Mackerel and grayfish are two other new fish that fishermen have lately been catching. Both are known on the southern Atlantic coast. Fisher men also have caught 800 pounds of grayfish, which, according to Bailey is the first time grayfish has appeared on any record of fish caught here.
 The theory of change in ocean cur rents is based upon the facts that fish follow their food, algeo and diat. oms, which in turn are carried by the currents.
