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

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

ENDORSE CANDIDACY OF
SEEKS RE-ELECTION
Ralph E. 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.

The usual method is to plant them In
hills made up with plenty of well
rotted manure, about 10 feet apart

should be placed In each hill, and when
