NEW WATERMELON.
Experimenter in Producing Different
F1avOrs.

would you ike watermelon with
the flavor of fresh Strawberries, or
pistachio nuts, or tamarinds, or just
anything else you think would blend
we'll with the watermelon's own in
describable favor If you think
you would, it may be possible for
you to get it soon, unless rumor is
wrong again.
There is a yarn af1oat down in the
southwestern part of the State where
they think of watermelons in terms
of carloads and ship scores of cars
every year to northern markets
that one of the farmers who has
been planting a small acreage in
melons for a good while and shipping 6
three or four cars year has been
experimenting with a view to produc-
ing artifcially favored watermelons
in his fields.
How He Started.
The story has it that this search
er has something new in watermel-
ons is no disciple of Burbank or Co.
ker, as he uses neither pollen blend
ing methods of the former nor the
selection process of the latter in
seeking to work his will with the
flavor of his watermelons. It is said
that he began four years ago to try to
introduce fiavors directly into the
meaty heart of his melons by 'plug-
ging" them in the manner practiced
by all suspicious buyers whose arts
are not attuned to the mellow rumble
with which ripe watermelon re-
spends on being thumped with the
middle finger of the right hand. In
his first series the South Carolina ex-
perimenter took the plugs out of
the watermelons rather crudely
thus introduced the f1avoring solu-
ton, decayed.
In the second season, the expert
menter took the plugs out of the
melons with exceeding care and re-
placed them tenderly, sealing the
wound in the rind with boiling para
fin. He secured a few melons that
year which were flavored-in spots,
and the third year he turned his at
tention to perfecting his flavorfng
solutions in an effort to secure one
which would permeate the watermel-
on from stem to stem and be uni
formally distributed through the
meaty heart.
A Glider of Gold. :.
It is said that the watermelon
fancier-Rastus will call him gild-
er of fine golG-has at last found a
medium In which he can suspend any
of the usual fruit or nut fiavors.
He thinks by using this solution he.
can impart any desired flavor to his
watermelons. Besides plugging"
watermelons and sealing with para
fin, he will try a hypodermic needle
this season to see if this instrument
will serve to introduce his favoring
material into melons.
AS the story goes, the medium for
the flavors is still the eXperimenter's
secret. He has not told anybody
what he uses nor has he disclosed
the proper stage in the watermelon
short but, as far as is known, happy
life at which it responds best to the
intrusion of the favoring material
into, it's interior These facts lend
color to the view there may soon be
a corner on the market for straw
berry-watermelons, peach-watermel-
on, and other new kinds too numer-
Gus to mention. The man who
thought of it first may get rich if the
Republicans in congress forget to
put strawberry-watermelon and the
like into their internal revenue bill.

A. M. Huebner Makes Strong
Report On Eureka-C Climax

9 north-south assure that cut off the
ore body from which P%iantoni took
his fortune. On this assure a Wine
had been sunk to a depth of about 40
feet and in this winze is a streak Of
ore that assays from $40 to $65 a
ton. From a long experience in min
ing in this camp, I figure that the
winze is on top Of the rich Piantoni
orebody that was cut of by this fs-
sure. 1t is my belief that with very
little expense this mine can be put on
a paying basis again.
The showing looked SO good to
me that l determined to secure a
lease and bond on the mine IL pos
sible. I found, though, that at that
time 1t was under option. Since then
l have been employed as foreman for
the Eureka-Croesus and have had no
opportunity to make a closer study of
the conditions. -
There is a large tonnage of good
mill ore in the Deadbroke-ore that
in other mines of the locality carries
values of $40 to SIS a ton. This
grade of ore could not be handled in
the old days of the camp, and was
thrown back into the slopes from
which the high grade was extracted.
With a custom mill or smelter in Eu-
reka, which is planned for early con-
struction, this class of ore can be
mined at a good profit" =
Huebner's report on the Deadbroke
is of special significance to the stock
holders from the fact that develop
'ment of the mine is to be conducted
by the operating staff of the Eureka
Croesus, and he doubtless will be
chosen to direct the work.

Attracted by the startling develop
ments in the Eureka-Cro and Eu-
reka-Holly mines and the purchase of
the Eureka & Nevada railroad, with
assurances that the road is to be re-
built and put in condition to handle
the output of the district, mine oper-
ators have quietly been searching out
the old producers and getting them in
shape for production. Among the
Prospect Mountain properties that
are known to have produced extraor-
dinarily rich ore are the Deadbroke,
New Year and Dugout mines that
have been acquired by the Eureka
Climax Mining Company. OF the
Deadbroke A. NJ. Huebner, now fore
man of the Eureka-Croesus, who has
spent many years mining in Eureka,
writes Nevada Mining Press:
I'm the early '70s this mine was
owned by a man named Andy Plan
toni and was prospected and operated
by him for a good many years. Plan
toni found a shoot Of high grade ore
that netted him between $4,000 and
$4,000. Not being satisfied with
his little fortune, he hired several
men and started to drive a long tun-
mel, some distance down the noun
tain, which cost several thousand
dollars. Between the cost of the tun-
mel and his high living, Piantoni went
broke and finally died in his little
cabin on the ground. His mine was
taken over to satisfy debts and pay
his burial expenses and very little
work has been done there since his
death. At this time mining opera
lions in Eureka we're quiet and 1t is
my belief that the people who got
hold of the mine did not realize its
worth. Some Of the owners, I am
sure, were never on the ground.

were taken out. Last Summer, while

REsEEnle&N6Es
TO CULTIVATE PLANTS

Since 1907 the Forest Service has
conducted over SOC tests throughout
the West to determine what particu-
lar cultivated forage plants can be
most successfully seeded on the range
and what type OF range may yield
economic returns. The tests have
aimed to cover all important condi-
lions of soil, climate. exposure and
elevation. More than fifteen of the
most permanent grasses and clovers
have been included in the trials.
The results obtained show clearly
that II does not pay to plow ground
or to otherwise prepare a seed bed
similar to that resorted to In the usu-
al farm practice. The seed, however.
must be lightly covered. To accom-
modate this a brush harrow, a spring
tooth harrow. or, indeed, the passing
of a band of sheep two or three times
over the seeded area, serves the pur-
pose.
Timothy, smooth bromegrass, Ken
lucky bluegrass, orchard grass, and
redtop, in the order named, have
given the best results. The best stand
when seeded to a single species has
been procured by scattering seed In
the following amounts: Timothy,
eight pounds; smooth bromegrass,
20; Kentucky bluegrass. 20; or
chard grass, Is; and redtop, 10
pounds.
The best time in the year for scat
tering the seed in the intermountain
region is late Spring or early Sum-
mer. In the northwest seeding In
Autumn gives best results. The DIFF
ference in the season of these two re-
gions is due to the difference in eli
matte conditions.
Seeding of the cultivated forage
plants is expensive and economic re-
turns can be expected only where soil
and moisture conditions are far above
average. Scattering the seed on dry
side hills is a waste of time and mon
ey. Also it will not pay to seed ar
cas- less than 500 feet below timber
line and it seldom pays 70 seed the
dry areas of the foothills. The best
plan in building up a range is to per
init the native vegetation to develop
seed and become re-established.
