The last letter received from the
boys reads as follows:
Thursday, Aug. I'm the Yellow

in the Thumb. The rest washed their
hands and faces, thinking that suffi-
cient in such cold water. After in
spection we drove to the fish hatcher
les, and went through them. We al
so saw efficiency demonstrated when
a Ranger called a fellow for speeding.
We went over thei road from Lake
Junction to Canon Junction, and from
there to Morris Junction again, some
thing new was seen, and we made
good time. We had dinner Mt Nor
ris Junction. A stop was made at
Appollinaris Spring. Take it from
us, that is the rottenest water in
Yellowstone Park. We also stopped
at Obsidian cliff. Here some Of the
fellows attempted to carry of half
the cliff for souvenirs. The grade
through Golden and Silver Gates was
one of the steepest encountered and
each truck had some hot brakebands

rain. We were unsuccessful, and
stopped while until it let up. We
stopped few minutes in Livengston,

roads in the other direction also, and
drove through them until dark, stop.

GROWING MELON
SEED AT PROFIT
ROSEBUD COUNTY FARMERS IN.
TRODUCE NEW AGRICULTU-
RAJ INDUSTRY
Cucumber and Melon Seed Being
Grown on Yellowstone for Euro
pean Market; Expansion Planned
for Next Season.

In two short years Rosebud melons
and cucumbers have made Rosebud
county famous the world over. Their
flavor, firmness, keeping qualities
and adaptability to northern eli
mate have created demand far ex-
ceeding the supply. This year 10000
pounds of melon and cucumber seed
will be shipped from Rosebud county
to Holland and another 5000 pounds
of cucumber seed to Paris, France.
The demand for northern grown seed
is so great in the state of Colorado
that there is a ready market there
for all of Rosebud melon and cucum-
Der seed, according to G. E. Hanson,
representative of the Western Seed &
Irrigation company, who was largely
responsible for the birth of the melon
and cucumber seed industry in that
county. Next year melons and GU
cumbers will be grown extensively
throughout Montana from Rosebud
county seed supplied to farmers by
the State Nursery & Seed company
at Helena.
All Seed Contracted
One hundred and eighty-six acres
on the Forsyth flat (non-irrigated)
and in the Carterville irrigation dis
trict were planted to watermelons,
musk-melons and cucumbers last
spring and the seed, approximately
IS, 900 pounds, was at that time con-
tracted to the Western Seed & Irriga-
ton company of Fremont, Neb. The
were contracted for
171s cents per pound, the cucum-
bers at 201a cents and the musk
melons at rs cents.
The seed of the cucumbers and
is said to be of an un-
sxcelled quality demanding the high
sst market price and while the quail
ty of the watermelon seed is just as
good it does not bring as high price
IN the market because of the heavy |
competition furnished by Georgia
growers.
Threshing of melons and cucum-
,ers for seed was begun last week. |
rhe cucumbers have proved the most |
profitable of the three crops due to
he heavy yield and the price of seed.
cucumber crops yielded from 800 to
100 pounds of seed per acre or a |
ross return to the grower of $50 to
