The first watermelons of the 1935 season were shipped from Baldwin county Tuesday by Len Wood at Stevens Pottery. Although Baldwin melons have been on the market several weeks and numbers of truck loads have gone from local point*, the first car load shipment was hot made until this week. Other cars will be loaded this week, with the biggest tonnage expected to go out from Coopers and Stevens Pottery during the next week. The crop has been materially damaged by the hot weather and the crop will be short, although the quality of the melon is said to be good but small. The melon acreage was reduced this year by agreement of the plant ers, and the crop will not be as large and in addition to the drought dam age. it is probable that the smallest number of melons will be shipped from this county in a number of years. The local market has been plenti ful thus far in the season and prices have been very reasonable. A sea son of rain would be of g reat bene fit to the crop, especially late mel- that will be gathered in August.
