Growing Cantaloupes 
(Continued from page 34) 
Cultivate shallow close to the plants and deeper farther away. 
The main spread of roots is on the harder ground under the 
plowed ground. If you plow only 3 or 4 inches dee)) that will 
determine the depth to the main spreading roots and very shallow 
cultivating will be necessary or the crop will be ruined, while if you 
plow 7 or 8 inches deep you can cultivate 5 or 6 inches deep to good 
advantage. Don’t expect an average good crop from too shallow 
plowing. 
In other words: Prepare a deep, well settled and finely pulverized 
seed bed. 
If under irrigation Cantaloupes should be watered regularly 
about every two weeks. Be sure the water runs long enough to 
moisten the ground to the opposite side of the plants from the fur¬ 
row. Do not allow the water to remain in the furrows too long so 
that the soil becomes water-logged. Continue irrigating through 
the ripening season to keep the vines thrifty. 
Many do not irrigate during the ripening season with the result 
that after a couple of weeks the melons ripen prematurely and are 
of poor quality. 
Raise early melons by the use of Hoteaps. We sell them.
