A QUESTION OF HUSBANDRY.
IVh*relu Peter Unexpectedly Has
Last Word.
Peter cast an approving nod at Be
linda's white frock and pink ribbons.
"Let us rejoice.” said he. "The sun
shines once more.”
Belinda looked reproachful. “And
thou, too, O Brutus!” said she.
■ Surely you don’t mind my admir
ing your gown?” said Peter.
“But to talk of the yveather!” said
Belinda. ,
“ 'Tis not as dry a subject as usual,”
submitted Peter.
“Oh, oh, oh!” exclaimed Belinda soft
ly, and sank her head in her hand.
“I'll admit I am a bit moldy,” said
Peter. “What else could you expect?”
"The admission, or the fact?” asked
Belinda.
“Either way," said Peter, waving his
hand indifferently.
“You insist on pursuing the subject,”
asked Belinda.
“Well, it has rained a good deal, you
know,” said Peter.
Belinda stirred her limeade. "Next
thing I know,” observed she. address
ing the remark to no one in particular,
"he will be talking about the crops.
As if it were not proverbial that the
weather never suits the crops."
I tell you what, Belinda,” said
peter, seriously, "the farmers' have had
a pretty tough time lately.”
“My dear Peter,” said Belinda, put-

pink palm on the table for emphasis,
‘ did you ever see the season when
the farmers were not having a tough
time? it is always too hot, or too
cold, too wet or too dry—no matter
how the weather is made, it is never
made to suit the crops.”
T-ier laughed. "I don't know but
that you are right," said he. “There
are a lot of kickers in this world."
"Nothing ever comes at the right
time for the crops," continued Belin
da. 'There is always a drought or a
flood, or the frost is tod early, or the
fmst is too late, or the wind blows
when tt shouldn't. TJje way people
talk, it is a wonder to me that we
ever have anything to eat except fish,
flesh and fowl.”
Peter laughed again. “All of which
goes m prove •• sa iq he , “that in be

not as the rest of men."
'Two days of it,” prophesied Belin
da, scornfully, "and you will be cry

know, I was talking about you, not
about the weather.”
"I thought you liked my rainy-day
clothes." said Belinda, with a pout.
“ ‘Whenas in silks my Julia goes,’ ”
murmured Peter.
“ ‘Then, then (methinks), how sweet
lv flows
The liquefaction of her clothes.' Like
the poet, I adore you both ways.”
“Oh. if you call yourself a poet!"
said Belinda.
"I ,had rather be a farmer.” said
Peter.
“Why?” asked Belinda, innocently.
” ‘There is a garden in her face
Wherein all pleasant fruits do
grow,’ ” quoted Peter.
Belinda blushed. ,
“And if it were mine.” said Peter,
“I wouldn't kick on the weather."

and himself, and that his divorced wife
had no connection with the matter.
The court, he states, has never or
dered him to pay his former wife ali
mony. He says he has 'always helped
his daughter, and he has done far more
for her than the court ordered. He
states that he loaned his daughter SIOO,
which she was to return when she
finished school. He says he learned
she was going to state he had given
her money and the matter was there
fore settled out of court.

Georgia watermelons are practically
a thing of the past for this season, to
the sorrow of the connoisseur in fine
fruit and to the grower as well.
According to figures compiled by the
Atlantic Coast Line for the entire
movement over all lines, there was a

as compared with 1,733 for the season
of 1903, a gain for this year of 90S

Florida Fell Off.
Florida, this year produced 1,183 car
loads, while last year the record was
1,365 cars, a decrease of 182. Georgia
more than doubled the production of
Florida this season.
Alabama produced 375 cars this sea
son, a gain of 80 over last year.
The grand total for the three states
of Georgia, Florida and Alabama for
the present season was 4,199 cars, while
last year the total was 3,394 cars, an
increase this year of 805 cars.
Though the yield was heavier this
year, the prices were not so
good. It is figured that an
average of $65 per car would be a fair
valuation for this season, counting over
1,000 good-sized melons to the car.
On this basis the value of the wa
termelon crop of Georgia, for this year
will he over $170,000 net to the pro
ducers.
Peaches Hurt Melon*.
One explanation of the lower price of
melons is to be found in the large
peach crop. Markets which buy mel
ons freely when fruits are not so plen
tiful, Invest less freely when Georgia
peaches can be obtained in such quan
tities. In other words, when the sup
ply of peaches is large it tends to de
crease the demand for melons. Anoth
er reason was the larger crop.
From the figures for this season it is
evident that Georgia is gaining in pres
tige as a watermelon producer, and
adding to its already enviable reputa
tion as the greatest watermelon state
in the union.
