QUALITY IS ESSENTIAL. IN PRO-
 DUCING MARKET MELONS

It is not too early now for the mel on grower to lay plans for the next season and as starter he should be- gin to secure pure seed of such varie- ties as the melon trade demands, states c. w. Rapp, assistant horticul- turist of the College of Agriculture, University of Arkansas.
 Any melon grower, on either a large or small commercial scale, will do we'll to consider maintaining pure variety, says MT. Rapp.
 Quality is an essential in the sue cessul production of market melons. The grower who would build up a permanent market must each year grow a dependable product Quality and integrity alone can establish and hold a regular trade.
 The seed sown is an important factor. It must be true to type. Whether the seed be purchased or home grown makes little difference so long as it is pure. When several varieties of watermelons are grown close together they mix or cross. The same thing happens when several kinds of muskmelons are grown in 1 field. This crossing results in many different types of melons being pro- duced Seed taken from melons grown in this field will not be reliable and should not be used if a high grade product is to be grown. An essential in successful melon production is standard uniform product This stan- dard is, at best, hard enough to attain and where mixed seed is used it's at tainment is impossible. Many grow CTS plant but one standard variety. This they sell year after year. Some of them get their seed from their own melons. Others buy it every year from a reliable seed firm. Wllere several varieties are grown in the same field the seed should he pur- chased.
 The car lead buyer desres GAj- form, standard product. The local trade likewise wants uniformity. Some growers lteve tuilt up T profitable, permanent trade on the hasls of uni formity and reliability alone. Each year they grow one or two standard, popular varieties of melons. These they sell to a regular trade. Some growers go even farther and guaran- tee each melon. These men grow uni form melons year after year. Their trade is built up on this basis. Their product is dependable. Any melon not good is made good. Once such a growers integrity is established his product commands a premium and he no longer hunts a market.

LOST!-A DOG

Ernest Parker news editor of the Sherman
(TeXas) Democrat, mourns the loss OF dog
and refuses to accept consolation of any
kind, heartfelt or perfunctory.
Mr.. Parkers grief over the loss of his
dog, as read between the lines of his little
news story shows that he is man who
carries in his heart that peculiar affection
which the gentle-hearted have felt. from time
immemorial, for the creature which loves his
human companion with that love which is
deeper than the unexpored debts of the
fathomless ocean, which is truer than
the love of humankind, which is as lasting as
are the eternal hils--a love which asks no
questions which entertains no jealousies,
which is noble in its endurance and worship
full in its faithful allegiance.
1t has been written that the man whose
soul cannot be touched by musc's sweet
strains is man fit for treason. 1t might
be written that the man who does not love a
dog patient, long suffering, devoted dog,
is man in whose heart the good God never
instilled the seeds of Humanity, the milk of
human Kindness the germs of Christianity.
1t might be said of him he carries in his
breast stone, incapable Of responding throb
to loves devotion, that he is man created
in the image of his Maker but devoid of Cod
like attribute
The man who loves his dog is the man
who loves and honors his mother, who loves
and carefully guards his wife, who loves and
cherishes his children, who loves and believes
in his fellow man, who loves and is devoted
to his country and his country's honor, who
carries in his breast heart which is deep
enough and broad enough and gentle enough
and true enough to love humanity for hui
manity's sake, and to sacrifice himself upon
the altar of right in order that justice and
equity may be done to all.
