they could be readily marketed at a
much higher price than melons from
other sections.
The demonstration also developed
the value Of using waxed paper over
the young plants. This practice RI
pened the melons ten days earlier than
when it was not done. Eearly melons
sold for So per crate later ones for
81, which was a very satisfactory
price Melon growing was imme-
diatcly placed on the program OF work
for the county.
The succesusfl experience OF this
county is a demonstration OF what
can be done through the cooperation
of extension agents and farmers in
establishing new industry. 1t is al
so fine example OF the need for

ing and marketing special local

NEVADA FARMERS FIND
MELONS ARE pROFITBLE

From a few small demonstration
plats in 1917, the muskmelon industry
in Churchill county has developed un-
til $50 crates were shipped each day by
express during the 1921 season, be-
sides carload to Pennsylvania and
another to San Francisco. A goal OF
1000 acres has been set for 1922. A
small acreage i'll 1919 was more than
doubled in 1920 The county agent,
employed comparatively by the Uni
ted States Department OF Agricultural
College, assisted in making location
of markets and advocated the organi-
cation of canteloupe association.
which was later affected
In marketing the 1921 crop, cor
rcspondence was carried on with
various markets in the Eastern States
and a demonstration car shipped to
Pennsylvania. A few days after the
arrival of this car many inquiries
were received by the association re-
garding the purchase Of the 1922
crop. Another car of melons was
sent to San Francisco. which, in COM

petition with the California melons,
were sold at much higher price.
Records kept on two demonstrations
showed that approximately 200 crates
per acre we're marketed during 1921,
at an average price of 81 a crate.
This made gross income of $500 per
acre in these two instances. as COM
pared with hay under present market
conditions.
Churchill county has been primarily
an irrigation project where the farm
ers grew only alfalfa hay. but the de-
cline in the price Of hay made it
necessary to seek some other crop.
Consequently during 1917 and 1918 the
country club leader secured several
demonstrations in the growing the
Hearts OF Gold muskmelons. These
melons were SO we'll liked that several
farmers grew small plats on their
farms. On the recommendation of
the county agent these plats were in
creased in size the next year. A num-
Der OF very successful acre demonstra-
tons were planted and the county
agent also assisted i'll finding mar
ket for these melons. Because OF

Battle Monuments

Instead Of the traditional shafts OF
granite and marble such as mark
many battlcfields of the Revolution
and the Civil War. it has been sug-
gested that relief maps in bronze be
placed ON the sites of the principal
engagements Of the A. Z. +. in
France. The maps are to be mount
ed on monuments on prominent spots
Of the terrain, so that visitors may
refer from the maps to the surround
ing country and get clear concep-
ton Of the engagement that took
place there. Besides these relief
maps, Is be cast in bronze and enan-
eled in color SO as to show more
clearly the hills and woods and
streams, there are to be sketch maps
showing in outline the positions held
by the troops. Where necessary
bronze tablets TO commemorate GER
tain spots Of particular significance
in the A. L. +. operations will also
be put up.
The number Of those who have a
genuine interest in going over battle
fields is small. This is due in GER
tain measure to the difficulty Of un-
derstanding the actions that took
place. a shaft marking the spot
where Colonel Robinson's troops re-
pulsed a battalion led by Major For
sythe means little to any one who
does not know just what part these
troops played in the engagement. b.
a clear system Of relief maps, how
ever, judiciously located and simply
explained, the average visitor would
understand and be interested.
The erection Of such series Of
monuments would be a valuable con-
tribution to American history.
In the course Of the next few
decades hundreds Of thousands Of
Americans will visit the grounds
