Melon Fertilization;
Pruning and Shading

| In view of the fact that melons
| from 20 pounds and up are mostly
in demand on all the larger markets
and that small melons are unsaIeable,
pruning is absolutely necessary to in
sure larger melons and faster growth.
In pruning the watermelon plants,
the method to follow is: AS soon as
plants show good growth and hardi-
ness enough to resist insect injury,
the plants are thinned out to one
plant to the hill. AS soon as the
little watermelOns show their appear
pearaRce of being we'll shaped and
true to type, the melons are cut off,
leaving only two WatermelOnS to
grow and mature OH each vine.
This practice may seem hard to
follow, but leaving only two melons
on each vine, and one vine in each
hill, insures larger melons, faster
growth and hence melons whichs will
command a better market price.
Shading Melons to Prevent Blister
The season of the year when water
melons begin to mature or ripen is
very hot and often very dry, which
frequently causes melons to sun-scald
or blister. This condition makes the
melons unfit for shipping. To guard
against this condition, most growers
make practice of planting COW peas
in their melon pathes as soon as the
melons show signs Of growing off and
the young melons are formed on the
vines. The COW peas act as a shade
crop and protect the fruit from scald-
ing in the hot sun.

ing a recent year, was 15.728144

the world to and from the port Of
New Orleans.
The western-most one Of these
mouths Is known as Southwest pass.
It is about 10 miles long, Of irregular
width, had a tidal variation Of from
10 to % inches, was influenced by
hoods and INSTRUCTED by a submerged
Sand-bar over which the water was
only nine feet deep.
Notwithstanding these handlcaps,
army engineers considered 1t the best
route and set about to force the river
to run as they thought it should.
They planned to dig and build a chan
mel 1000 feet wide and 85-feet deep
through this pass, so that the biggest
ships could steam right up the river
and anchor off New Orleans.
They dredged the head Of the pass
for 81 miles to give it the necessary
width, closed a number Of outlets to
conserve the flow, built "sills" to pre-.
vent the outlets to the river above
the mouth from charging; dredged
away the sand-bar (remOvlng the
equivalent Of 100000 wagon loads
Of sand and mud, constructed jetties
more than 10000 feet long to protect
this dredged channel and built spur
bikes as necessary.
Southwest pass now satisfactorily
performs the work which falls to the
lot Of the official mouth of Americas
