Winter Muskmelons Poised From Turkestan For U S Markets
The U S department of agriculture introduces a winter muskmelon from Turkestan claiming easy growth in parts of the country. Trials show better flavor and crispness than imported Spanish melons, with 12 to 15 pound fruit in the Green River valley. Growers note the melon should be picked near the first frost and stored, mellowing with age, reaching full flavor around January.

Maine Farmers Turn to Night Muskrat Trapping
Drought thins water in Maine ponds and rivers pushing Holden farmers to hunt muskrat and fox by night. Traps sit on muskrat houses as sentinels watch from above. The method is unique, yielding fair profits with muskrat skins worth about 4.5 cents each. Thrace Philips, Holden’s champion muskrat hunter, and his son Lester set a record with 49 muskrats in one winter, earning the elder Phillips nearly $20 for a night’s work.
