Sleep Cool During the Hot Nights Muskmelons. of the Coining Summer A sandy loam with plenty of well rotted manure incorporated in the sol is well adapted to the production o muskmelons. The muskmelon is a heat loving crop, requiring a long growini season, about four months, and canno be planted until the ground has be come warm. For this reason It Is use less to attempt to grow the muskmeloi In sections where the growing season is not sufficiently long or where th temperature Is not uniformly high. Th northern portion of the United State; Is not suited to the growing of thi crop for the reasons cited above. It is advisable to start the plant tn berry boxes, or on sods In the hot bed, transferring these to the opei ground after the ground has becom' warm. In this way considerable time can be saved and much better resulti obtained. It is a good plan to piaci plenty of well-rotted manure In the hills, which should be about 6 fee apart. Sufficient seed should be plant ed so that four good strong plants maj be had In each hill. Another plan if to sow in drills in rows 6 or 7 feet apart, thinning the plants until they are from 18 inches to 2 feet apart ir the rows. Cultivation should be frequent ant thorough until the vines begin to run After this the only cultivation required is to keep weeds down. Muskmelons are.liable to be attack ed by several diseases and have al least one serious Insect enemy. For In formation on the control of Insects and diseases affecting the muskmelon, re fer to Farmers’ Bulletin 856, entitled “Control of Diseases and Insect Ene mies of the Home Vegetable Garden.’ --U. 8.

Williams is again seeking the nomination for Re publican national committeeman for Oregon, and a perusal of a circular letter published else- where on this page will show that he has the backing of not only prominent Republicans but former Progressives as well. For the last four years he has used his best endeavors to bring about the amalgamation of the different factions in the Republi can party in the United States and especially in Oregon. He be lieves that today the Republican party in Oregon is more nearly united than at any time in the past twenty years. This result has been accomplished chiefly through his untiring efforts.
