NEW TYPE OF
CANTALOUPE
AIDS FARMERS

A new neutrality-suspicious. resist
and cantaloupe-developed by the
United States department of agri-
culture and the California agricul-
tural experiment station and resis-
tant TO powdery mildew is putting
eantaloupe farmers of the Imper-
ial Valley Of California on their
feet again. For more than a dozen
years the valley which produces
much OF the country's commercial
cantaloupe crop, has been battling
this fungus disease.
When fungicides failed, state and
department men set out to breed a
new variety that would be both de-
sirable and mildew resistant. Cam
taloupes from India, resistant but
of no commercial value, were cross
eel with Hale Best, a desirable Cali
fornia variey. Back-crossing on Hale
Best and several generations of
selective breeding resulted in No.
SO, desirable except for shipping
quality. -Four more generations of
selective breeding produced No. As.
About half the Imperial Valley acre
age was turned TO this variety last
year and more this year Virtually
all the other local acreage is in
resistant, but not so desirable varie-
ties.
The new cantaloupe is similar to
Hale Best in superior taste and
shipping qualities but natures a
little later. II is slightly oblong and
uniform in shape and size. The
seed cavity is small and holds firm
when shipped long distances. The
flesh is firm and sweet. Its color is
salmon" or orange, although a lit
tie lighter than other commercial
varieties.
Because of its superior shipping
quality, No. 45 may remain on the
vine until it is mature, distinct
advantage over other varieties. A
disadvantage is that the early cam
taloupes are somewhat small for
commercial shipment, while the last
of the crop is rather large.

Protect Wild Life

Because farm operations like

often destroy nests of quail and
other game birds, many farmers
are using flushing bar, reports
the United States Department of
Agriculture. The bar usually is
bamboo pole fastened to the neck
yoke and extending in front of the
sickle.
Strips Of lightly weighted burlap
attached to the pole drag through
the grass or grain, flush the birds
and locate the nests, over which
the farmer can lift the sickle bar.
Binders cutting high usually leave
the nest undisturbed. Many farm
ers furnish food and cover to birds
by leaving corners and odd spots in
