The month OF July, moderately abundant in
other counties, and rather dry throughout the

Toward the close Of the month the rains

The general average in the state is 50 against

The condition of tho crop is one point less
promising than that OF the crop OF 1887 on

MELONS.
The question was askel of correspondents "What
have been the profits of the melon crop as COM
pared to last year?' The same question was asked
IN the questions for the August crop report of 1857

sections for the two years is interesting The num-

COMPARATIVE PROFITS OF MELON CROP FOR YEARS
The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1888-08-21

The table shows at glance that the profits of the
business of growing melons has fallen off consdera-
bly, since last year. 1t is fact that melon growers
are discouraged by the unexpected meagerness of
returns This result is due to three causes each of
which may be removed or modified.
!. The want of information by the grower and
shipper of the state ofthe markets at different points
as 10 supply and the consequent Cutting of some
markets and insufficient supply Of Others This may
be remeded by concert of action and the establish
ment of a 'melon exchange" at some convenient
point for distribution
D. Want of care in rejecting overripe and under
sized melons. A very few melons, of small size, or
uninviting appearance, or oyerripe condition, will
frequently reduce the sa1able price Of carload to
less than cost of freight and commissions. The
orange and lemon growers of Florida have learned
this lesson, and never ship culls with good fruit.
g. Probably too higa rates Of freight. 1t would
certainly be to the future interest of the railroads to
aid in developing and perpetuating this source of
freight income by as low tariff as possible Carry
ing at loss now may aid in the establishment of
melon growing as one of the permanent industries
of the south, and reliable and remunerative
source of income to the railroads.
Is While it is true that instances have occurred in
which the sales of shipments did not cover freghs
and commissions, yet, the whole, there is reason
to believe that the business of growing melons has
been fairly profitable TO the most skillul growers
and shippers and that it will become more reliable
and there is much to learn by the farmer who has
never before planted more than ''mere PATCH for
family use.
Commercial Fertilizers.
The lower relative commercial value of
many familiar brands Of fertilizers at present
is accounted for by the reduction of the prices
of available phosphoric acid and ammonia,
the former having fallen from q cents a
pound to cents, the latter from 16 to IA cents
per pound. Potash X. o. remains at cents
per pound.
The result is that an acid phosphate contain
ing twelve per cent available phosphoric ACID,
at valuation of = cents per pound for this
element, would have been rated last season at
$18 per ton while at six cents the same would
be rated at $14.40 per ton.
A fertilizer having ten per cent of available
phosphoric acid or three per cent of ammonia
would have been rated last season at $24.60
per ton; while the present season the same
fertilizer, having the same composition and
the same agricultural value, would be rated at
S20.40 per ton.

of that committee, he had consented to
the reporting of the resolution, because it
was confined to the conduct of United
States official. The resolution has been
adopted.
The secretary of state has received re
ports from Consul Crowell at Annoy, IN
regard to the explosion of November 10,
of the Annoy magazine, containing about
400 tons of powder and other explosives,
bv which over 200 lives were lost, and sew
eral hundred dwellings destroyed. The
magazine was located in the midst OF a
very populous suburb and foreign settle
ment on the island of Kulangsoo., in the
Annoy harbor. No lives were lost, nor
were any personal injuries sustained by
the few American residents OF Annoy.
They contributed $3.50 to the relief OF the
sufferers, for which the government made
suitable acknowledgment.
