A special 70 the Atlanta Constitution from
Albany. Ga. dated February 18th. gives the
following interesting details about melon
growing In Georgia. The South Georgia Melon
Growers convention met here to-day, and
was called To order by President c. K. Nc
Cree who stated the object Of the meeting 10
De the consideration of the increased acreage
planted IN melons this year and 10 devise
some plans for the movement of the crop.
President McCrcc was reelected. rs was Mr.
j. =. Davis, secretary. The growers aie re-
qIcsted 10 give their views AS 10 the acreage
Of this year compared with last.
A. W. Butler. Of Mitchell county. reported
an increase of one-fourth. Messrs. PatillO Il
King reported a similar increase in Lee county.
owing 10 the new melon lands opened along
the line of the Albany and Cordele railroad.
W. X. Ptnam. Of Thomas, reported twice the
acreage IN his county.
The discussion which resulted demonstrated
that the entire crop IN south Georgia will be-
double that of last year. Great gains being
shownalong the Chattahoochec branch Of the
Savannah. Florida and Western railway and
about Mhigham. The entire acreage in Georgia
and Alabama last year was 81 600 acres. This
year it will be 10000. South Carolina shows
an increase of 80 per cent. over 5000 acres last
wear. q. VI. HOuser. by request gave an adj
dress upon the Macon Melon Exchange, Just
started, with pa.d-in capital Of $4,000. The
exchange would only distribute. not buy. He
spoke Of the disadvantages under which they
started. owing 10 the unfairness with which
the Georgia and Carolina Exchange was
treated last year. and asked the endorsement
Of the Convention. which was not granted.
the exchange not yet being fully organized
and charter not received.
j. A. Sans. OF the louisville and Nashville
aud the Cincinnati roads. stated that his lines
would be put on notice at once of the greatly
increased acreages. His roads handled near
ly $1,000 cars OF melons last year. This year
they had built 800 new fruit cars, bought
many engines. and would provide for the i'm
mcnse crop. The lease of the Western and
Atlantic would give them solid trains from
Atlanta 10 Western cities He feared that
the freight rate would be increased
this year. and recommended that a
committee be appointed 10 meet the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation at Tampa next Tuesday. He was
asked why melons could not be- shipped as
cheaply as bananas. which are forwarded at
between and mills per ten per mile,
againt mills for melons. He thought the
banana rate would be increased.
4 committee consisting of c. X. McCree.
Of Brooks; G. X. 1witty. of Mitchell; j. ;.
Davis. OF DOugherty and q. VI. Houser, Of
Houston, was appointed 10 petition the asso-
citation nc Tampa either in person or by letter.
10 reduce the present rates. Captain John
A. Davis, of the Central railway. recon-
mended committee on acreage. J. l.. Hand,
of Mitchell thought the roads should send
man throughout the entire belt 10 procure
the necessary statistics. The meeting adj
Iourned subject To the call Of the president.
