SHIPMENTS OF MELONS
SHOW DAILY INCREASE
_ !
Indications are that the shipments!^
of watermelons from this vicinity will
increase with a rush the early part
of next week, as the melpns are now
ripening fast. To date only about
ten carloads have been shipped, but
by the end end of next week it is
expected this number will be shipped
daily. Buyers are on the ground to
purchase the crop.
It is now estimated that not more
than '250 carloads of melons will be
shipped from this section, owing to
the fact that crops were greatly dam
aged by the heavy rains of the past
thirty days.

The week commencing July 3 will
be known throughout as Watermelon
Week, and every family is urged to
eat watermelons. The idea originated
in Georgia and Governor Hardwick
issued his proclamation last week, and
asked all governors to do likewise.
Melons are now ripe and the prices]
are moderate and it is believed that)
enough melons will be consumed dur
