We learn from prominent farm,
ers that the watermelon crop thii
year will be extra good, but tina
shipments will not likely begin
until about the first Of August-o
a few days later. 1t is also tn

the largest buyers and shipper
of the staple in the country, tina

emit month will devote his time al
most exclusively to the bushes
until shipping is oyer.--Sikesto
