MUSK N ELoNS.

A sandy loan with plenty of ell
rotted manure Incorporated in the soil
is we'll adapted to the production OF
muskmelons. The muskmelon is a
heat-loving crop, requiring long
growing season, about four months,
and cannot be planted until the ground
has become warm. For this reason 1t
is useless to attempt to grow the musk
melon in sections where the growing
season Is not sufficiently long or where
the temperature is not uniformly hign.
The northern portion Of the United
States is not suited to the growing OF
this crop for the reasons cited above.
1t is advisable to start the plants In
berry boxes, or on sods in the hothed,
transferring these to the open ground
after the ground has become warm, In
this way considerable time can be saved
and much better results obtained. 1t Is
a good plan to place plenty of we'll
rotted manure in the hills, which should
be about six feet apart. Sufficient seed
should be planted so that four good,
strong plants may be had in each hill.
Another plan is to sow in drills in rows
six or seven feet apart, thinning the
plants until they are from is inches to
two feet apart in the rows.
Cultivation should be frequent and
thorough until the vines begin to run.
After this the only cultivation required
is to keep the weeds down.
Muskmelons are liable to be attacked
by several diseases and have at least
one serious insect enemy, For informa-
tion on the control Of insects and dis
eases affecting the muskmelon, refer
to Farmers Bulletin $50. entitled Com
troll OF Diseases and Insect Enemies of
the Home Vegetable Garden"

A taxicab company of Washing
ton, d. c., has just put into operation
fleet of special Dodge Brothers
town cars and taxicabs, which are
being used almost exclusively by

The need for high grade type of

become increasingly apparent as the
number of Washington transients
grew with the progress of the ma
tional war work. The cars were de-
signed to be the equal, in appearance
and in comfort, of those which off,
