O'Hara, of Bald Knob, makes frequent visits to Clarendon and Holly Grove for no other purpose than to buy pearls. That the soil about Clarendon is perfectly adapted to watermel- on culture Is amply demonstrated by the immense and finely flavor ed melons sold here daily by the wagon load. MT. Ford, of Capt.
 Walkers Cache river farm. has cleared $80 off of one acre in mel ons, and Messrs. Stinson, Evans, Arnold and Edwards have no doubt averaged as much per acre. We are confident that the melonl grown here would successfully compete in the Northern and Eastern markets and could be grown on large scale with a cor responding increase in profits.
