and Dover there is some of the best
melon land to be found in Oklahoma,
capable of growing melons to perl or
tion. Melon growers in and around
Comma m lie, Marlow, Cement anil
Mustang, Oklahoma, have found it n
paving proposition. This crop require!-'
the greater part of the time and labor
during a time when here is little ro
be done in general (iold crops nnd will
bring in the hard cash just at the time
when most needed through shipment
to northern markets through the grow
or's association.
Tn make n success of melon growing
for shipment, however, it requires a
large acreage and one variety of nicl
ons so as to justify the employment
of a competent grader and some one
capable of finding the best market.
Organization is necessary to make the
most out of melon growing. I.et those
farmers who hnve good snndv melon

this season. Don't put it oil". It will
soon be time to plant. Talk it over
with your neighbor and get hinie inter-
ested." Let's plant SOU acres to melons
—shipping melons of one standard

! REAL WILD WEST SHOW
COMING SOON
I If the question is asked why the .1.
1 II. Ksehmaa World I'uited Shows are
J heralding the Arizona Mills Real Wild
i West as an attraction this season, let
this be the reason: These great cater-
erers of niuusnient know that variety
is the nutmeg of exisiteace. The
times require something different.
Novelty is the keynote to happiness.
Hence row boys nnd cow girls, the at-
mosphere of the forests and among
these the greatest of nil i14 headed by
that famous western scout., Arizona
Hill, the Iiief of pioneers
nail overlord of the plains of fifty
Vciirs ago. Arizona Bill has a record
for bravery in the early days of our
fathers, when tomahawks swung
and scalping knives circled and the
penalty of capture meant burning at
the stiike or some similar heinous tor
tare.
Arizona Hill is ill charge of the
wild west part of Kschniaa's show
program, which bears his name and
these features of the frontier life of
our early settling of the west and the
many obstacles encountered are en-
tirely under his guidance, and with
the assistance of a score ot real in-
habitants of the plains of the great
west, many of the episodes which
once transpired on the plains of west
era America are portrayed in the
arena of he .1. Kschmna Shows, which
will visit Hennessey for two perform-
ances on Friday, April ltitli.
