MELON GROWERS OF SUMTER COUNTY TO MAKE LARGE PROFIT (Continued from Page One) included, will termmate about Au gust 1, and in order that the local farmer receive the best price for his melons, between now and that date, the following shipping and packing instructions are offered by County Agent Cliett. Clean out cars thoroughly and use good clean straw for bedding. Let the paper around the inside of car extend a few inches above top layer of watermelons. Do not load melons that show any signs of spots or disease. Watch for melons with black spots under the bottom. These spots will rot through and the juice will run out on the other melons and the car will arrive in a leaky, sour condi tion. Melons with “rain speck” as is sometimes called will cause them to rot before reaching market. Be sure to treat the stems with the commercial stem end rot prep eration or the 8 ounces of bluestone, 8 ounces of common laundry starch paste, made by boiling the blue stone in an earthen ware kettle, then dissolving the starch in pint of cold water and adding. Stir to prevent lumps. Heat a few minutes until the mixture thickens. This should be made fresh each day. One quart will treat a car. Load your cars uniformly. Try and not have over a four pound varation from the smallest to the largest melons. Let the first 100 melons you in car be as good as those at the door. Treat the other fellow like you would like him to treat you. Below is approximate scale for number of melons to fill a car. Al ways keep accurate count of melons put in car. 720 melons average 36 pounds, 800, 34; 840, 32; 880, 30; 960, 28; 1000, 26; 1050,24; 1 150, 22; 1500 five deep 30; 1600 five deep 18.

I THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ' Now the cow hadn’t figured on ;o much fame, and didn’t like it. When the end came, just before they cut her up into becf.'jtakes, she tossed and muttered: “If only these reporters would leave me alone.” John T. Scopes, freckled young school teacher, is in much the same predicament. Scopes took a leap in the dark when he agreed to be the corpus delicti in the legal test of Tennes see’s anti-evolution law. To his great amazement he has become famous. And he doesn't like it. He sees eye to eye with the poet who remarked that the paths of glory lead but to the grave. He wonders dimly what all the of his time squatting on the steps of of hi stime squatting on the steps of the postoffice or drug store. The great men of the earth come to town to protect this frail youth. Clarence. Darrow comes, and Bain bridge Colby and Dudley Field Malone. They are dined and banqueted and feted. Sometimes John Thomas Scopes, the “martyr youth perse cuted for his belief in the holiness of freedom” appears on the scene and shuffles in, head lowered upon his manly bosom, eyes furtive'y seeking out reporters, lurking in the trail of his defenders. When he goes to the big towns like Chattanooga or Atlanta or Knoxville for conferences and the like, he cudgels his brain for stunts that will make him one of the herd. His favorite trick is the reporter stunt. John Thomas carries a pad and pencil and takes copious notes. “Have you seen this Scoops fel low?” he inquires of the curious by stander. Professor Johnny Scopes calls for his mail every morning at the Day ton postoffice. Sometimes he can take it away in one olad, sometimes I Am Going Out of Business-Quitting the Ladies' Rcady-to-Wear ! EVERYTHING FOR SALE Every Garment! Every Article!
