TELLS HOW TO
CROW MELONS
Soil Must Be Drained and Contain
Abundance Of Humus, Says
Expert.

The soil for muskmeIons should
be well drained and should contain
an abundance of humus and readily
available plant food. says a circu-
lar issued by the University of IlIi-
nofs. IF these conditions are met,
it matters little what the particu-
lar type of soil may be-" the cir
cular continues. THE crop is
grown successfully on the light
sandy soils of watermelon regions,
the gray silt and yellow silt loans
of southern Illinois, and the brown
silt loan of the corn belt
a knoll or ridge sloping gently
to the south and protected sby tim
Der on the north and west furnishes
an ideal site for melons. Such a
location usually will produce ear
lier melons than q north or west
slope and is better than q level
area because the soil dries out
more quickly after a rain. thus per-
hitting more timely tillage in Il
wet season, and resulting in the
production of melons of better fla
vor. 1t is only in dry seasons that
low, flat land. unless thoroughly
tile drained, produces good melons.
THE condition of the soil with
reference to its supply of humus
has a marked influence upon the
welfare of the melon crop. Because
of it's abundance of humus, newly
cleared timber land is well adapted
TO melon culture, but it is difficult
to work on account of the stumps
and roots. Land slightly deficient
in humus can be put in condition
for growing melons by blowing
under a clover sod, or crop of
cowpeas or rye, or a coat Of ma
nure applied broadcast.
"If melons are TO be grown as
one of the crops in a regular ro-
tation, they should constitute the
crop Immediately following the
leguminous crop designed to add
humus and nitrogen to the soil. In
regions where winter wheat and
clover are grown, a rotation of
wheat, clover, and melons is highly
satisfactory Another good rota-
ton is: oats. clover, melons, corn.
In regions where clover does not
thrive and wheat and oats are not
grown, a rotation of corn. cowpeas.
and melons may be employed, or
the rotation extended by seeding to
grass after the melons are har-
vested.

In the double booth taken over

much to interest them, not the least
being the clear cut lines of the

principally of aluminium Plated

How all the important parts OF

R-V BOOTH IS
WONDER STORY
OF AUTOMOBILE
East Moline Manufacturers Claim
Of Leadership Sustained in
Exhibit

In accord with the Pageant of
Progress idea, the Root & Van
Dervoort Motor company of East
Moline is showing the development
of it's automobiles since they first
were placed on the market and
were leaders, a possession 1t has
always claimed. Its present show
occupies a double-space exhibit in
the auto tent at the exE1sition
grounds.
Roy A. Sears, in charge of the
exhibit, vouches for the fact that
the clumsy little vehicle shown in
a Moline Motors, 1905. and
first model-.at the booth was ahead
CT its time in dozen features. AS
sisting in care of the exhibit are
other members of the advertising
department, J. z. Whittier. d. ).
Smith and B. ~ Ward.
The next step from the little '05
model is a real live and poppy 1914
car, the motor of which, signs &C
claim and demonstrations prove, is
actually more powerful and more
quiet now, after having carried
more than 100000 miles. than when
it was new.
Other more recent models Of r. &
V cars are shown in a number of
framed photographs. And then
visitors inspect one of the most
strikingly beautiful Jobs" in the
whole auto tent-the r. & V. four
passenger six special sport model.
Beautiful Spcrtster.
1t is done in sagebrush green
enamel, with individual aluminium
steps, aluminium disc wheels, nickel
radiator, lamps and other fittings,
with more extraordinary equip
ment. Its feature, however, is that
it contains the famous Knight motor
the only American built Knight
six on the market. Visitors with
perception eXclaim over the beau
tiful lines of the sport model, and
envy it's very complete equipment.
Another interesting part of this
exhibit is the dismantled Knight
motor which won the worlds record
nonstop run in a test conducted by
the Auto Club of America in De-
cember. 1913, making a 337 mile
nonstop trip.
