CANTALUPES ARE NOW DOING WELL. Fields Planted Following Hall 8torm Have Made Good Progress. The cantaloupe fields that were planted after the recent hall storm laid them waste are in splendid condition. The new plants have been up for several days, and have been favored by almost perfect conditions. At no time have they suffered on account of lack of moisture, nor has there been any excess of rain. They are now growing rapidly, and are In the best of condi tion. The Indications are that they will produce a large crop of excellent fruit, though It will Inevitably be a lit- Ite later than the fruit from fields not interrupted from the time of planting. However, the prospect Is a great deal brighter than was dreamed of when the full extent of the damage wrought by the hall 3torm was realized. A New Law Firm.
