 frost took in early January, and a few 

 acres of lettuce that had to be fesowed 

 on account of cutworms. 



"While stuff is still small, we are a 

 long ways from the harvest and many 

 mishaps can befall the crop before the 

 seed is in the bag. 



" Our main effort now is in getting the 

 I crop cleaned and, owing to the scarcity

 iyear than in any previous years."

•^ ROkXY FORD MELON RULING. 



; A Eocky Ford melon must be grown 

 at Rocky Ford, and not elsewhere, to be 

 ; sold under that name. 



The United States Board of Food and 

 Drug Inspection has issued a decision 

 (No. Ii5) relative to the use of geo- 

 graphical namjs for food products that 

 is of large interest to the seed trade. It 

 results in an anomaly: 

 A seedsman legally may sell seeds as 

 ' Rocky Ford melon seeds, no matter 

 where the seeds were grown, but the 

 planter cannot legally sell in interstate 

 commerce the product of those seeds as 

 Rocky Ford melons except if the seeds 

 actually were planted and the melons 

 grown in the Rocky Ford district of 

 Colorado; nor can the melons be sold as 

 Rocky fori Seed melons. ^ 



A former decision of the Board of 

 Food and Drug Inspection ruled that 

 geographical names f<hall not be used 

 upon those products which were not pro- 

 duced in the territory so indicated unless 

 by long usage such a name has come 

 to represent a generic term, when, in ad- 

 dition to the geographical name of the 

 product, should be added the state or 

 territory where such an article was ac- 

 tually manufactured or produced. The 

 new decision, which is in f-ct an ampli- 

 fication of this ruling, reads as follows: 

 "There are many cases which have 

 been considered by the Board of Food 

 and Drug Inspection in which it has been 

 i.ecessary to decide whether or not, in 

 its opinion, certain geographical names 

 haye been sufficiently generic to indicate 

 a style, type, or brand, and in conse- 

 quence might be used without offending 

 any of the provisions of the Food and
