Fature of Melon Growing.
Adel, <la., Sept. 19th, 1922.
The membership meeting held in
this city Friday, September 15th,
by the Southwest Georgia Water
melon Growers Association, was a
pronounced testimonial of the
South Georgia farmers’ determina
tion to win their victory with co
operation. The members of this
organization characterized their
meeting with many speeches of
sound praise of the accomplish
ments of the past season even
though the odds were against their
efforts to produce melons that
would bear up the reputation gain
ed by their “SOWEGAS” during
the previous season in the consum
ing markets.
The annual report of the Secre
tary showed that there were 1,839
cars shipped from a total of 20,452
acres planted by the members ol
the Association. The report fur
ther revealed that 976 of the cars
shipped were melons averaging 24
pounds and under, which was in
itself a splendid explanation of
why returns were not as pleasing
as in previous seasons. The aver
age net return to the growers for
32 pound average melons was
$243.90 per car, which gives a fail'
idea of what might have been re
ceived had the melons this season
been of normal size. However, the
average net return to growers of
$73 30 for all cars was accepted by
all as being much better than
could be expected when viewing
the difficulties of growing, trans
porting and selling the melons this
season. The weather hindered the
growing, the strike seriously affect
ed the transporting, and the cool
weather and uncertain deliveries
by the railroads in the consuming
markets certainly did not make
the selling of melons a pleasure.
Many new measures were worn
mended which make the organiza
tion more attractive and effective
than ever. Experiences of the past
two seasons made necessary certain
changes which will mean closer eo
operation and at the same time al
low strict economy. It. was decid
ed that there will be no field
inspection next season, except at
pruning time when District Man
agers will make one visit to the
grower. The minimum member
ship fee for new members was re
duced from $15.00 to SIO.OO. A
fertilizer commission was appoint
ed to investigate the plan of buy
ing fertilizer co-operatively, for
those who desired#aud a movement
was started to enable the Associa
tion to grow its own seed at a
special provided station. Such
measures as these are resultant of
the constructive spirit of the
members and their profound faith
in their organization.
Throughout the meeting were
voiced deep appreciations of the!
small grpwer aud his co-operation
in the Association. It was deelar- 1
ed unanimously that the farmer
with a limited acreage was and has
proven to be a valuable worker in
the organization, aud that he is not
only welcome but is earnestly de
sired. The reduction of the mini
mum membership fee was directed
as a benefit to the growers with
small acreage.
While it was generally confessed
by all present that their produc
tion this season was not profitable,
styles, usual exhibits of cookery, and
even the livestock, farm products and
machinery displays gain her attention.
The livestock show is the backbone
of the fair. The big premiums offered
for livestock this year insure a big ex
hibit of all kinds of farm animals of
leading breeds. The show ring will
be surrounded by interested specta
tors from the beginning to the end of
the judging.
The entertainment program has
been planned with care by the com
mittee in charge, and some unusual
features are promised. The main at
tractions, however, will be the
thoroughbred horse racing, vaudeville,
music, fireworks, and auto racing.
they heartily commended the As
sociation for the results attained
under the conditions of what has
proven to be the most disastrous
season in the history of South
Georgia’s watermelon growing. The
meeting adjourned with the general
satisfaction that the organization
had proven its stability by weath
ering tlie rocks and was on a safe
and sound basis for constant and
continued growth.

The Same Old Things.
i
The housewife, tired of the beastly grind,
Turned loose some though that were in her mind.
When her husband came from his toil at night
She said the world didn’t use her right.
“Pm always doing the same old chores.
I’m always sweeping the same old floors.
Pm always washing the same old frocks
And darning holes in the same old socks;
I'm sick and tired of this wretched lifr.
There is no joy for a poor man’s wife.”
o
The wife of the rich man sighed and said,
“Gee whiz! A dame might as well be dead,
Pm always doing my social chores,
Pm always wearied by stately bores,
I’m always choosing the nroper gown,
I’m always motoring through the town.
Pm always doing the same old things;
J wish, 1 wish, I had ten-foot wings,
I’d fly away to some lonely cot
And do a stunt with a coffee pot.”
3
We all grow tired of the work we do
And sigh and rant tili the air is blue;
Jt does no good and it bales no hay,
And the wise man chases such thoughts away;
The world improves with each passing year
Because each man in his littie sphere
Takes off his jacket and grins and sings
And keeps on doing the same old things.
