It is because the season simply won't accomadate ripening of all the fruits if left. Wait until you see the first few melons (2-3 per plant) forming then pinch off the growing tips a bit beyond the last one, and any future shoots. Now the plant energy can soley develop these into large fruit. And keep watering and feeding.
