MASS MEETING.
A Large Number of Farmers Meet
and Discuss Cantaloup Indus
try. Wil Orpnlurn Associa: |
tion at Once.
On Wednesdsy afternoon just as: the
excitement over the election had sub
sided, the farmers living in the vicinity
of Helly eame to town and held a meets
ing in Hare’s hall, The purpose of she
meeting was to discuss the feasibility
of organising a cantplonp sssocistion
and deteymining what acreage counld be
planted next seasan. The farmers of
the Amity wsettiefient, northwest of
town, were out in full force and a very
enthusiastic meeting was the result.
The meeting was called to order by
W. M. Wiley, npon whose motion
James Hagerdourn was elected chair}
men and H. W, Milford secretary. W.|
Prask Crowley, superintendens of ‘the |
4l 1y Y. D WON. (rveling ve-|
presentative of the Roeky Ford - Melon |.
Association, were present and were in~
vited te address the meeting. Mr.}
Orowlav took the floor and devoted |
some time to giving the bistory of the|.
eantaloup industry at Rocky Ford, and |
the manner of plantiug, eunitivating|;
and irrigating. He gave an unvarnish. |
od account, of his experience, making|
plain the numerous difficaities the|
melon growers of his section have had
to contend with, in bringing the indas=|
try to its present high standard. He|
said the first cantaloups were grown at |,
Rooky Ford in 1881 on s small Bscale.
Tuey soon found that the Netted Gem, |
sometimes called the Goiden Gem Can- |
taloup was far ahead uf soything else ||
oo scoount of its sise, weighing from |
one to one and three-fourths pounds, |
justadaptiog it to shipping to large]
cities for hotel use, etc., and also for its |
superior lavor, - The first were shipped].
in barrels put later on they begsn ship |
ping in crates, and .t prevent. that fs ]
She way they ship all their melons; |,
oach erate ' contalning forty-five can-|.
taloups. )
Osataloups thrive best on s ‘sandy|:
loam, althopgh a clay loam with some|.
sand, will grow good .quality melons, |
The virgin-soll mill produce the best].
guality melons, pravidisg the ground |
s well worked aad theroughly poaked. |
1t takes more water than older land, |
Three years s long enough to plant|;
the same ground to melons, for average | .
soil, It ‘sbould ‘then be pisnted to|.
some fertilising - crope. - Alfalfa fa};
splendid for this purpose. ;
In anawer 10 & question by Mr. Wiley |
aa to what he'thonghi of our soil, Mr. |
Orowley ssid that our soil was some-|
what new to hia, bus thev bad the|,
asme kind at Montrose ‘snd grew. all],
kinds of frmt thers: very successfully. |.
¥rom what he bad seen of the soil bere,
he believed good ‘quality ecamtalonpa
