It's none too early to make up
your mind that you are gong to glad
den tho whole summer by having the
finest watermelon patch yon have
ever had. A farmer in the South
whose family doesn't feast on this
luscious farm product from July to
September is simply cheating HIM
self and them out OF some Of his best
opportunities for Joyous living. AS
Mark Twain, himself Southern born,
well said on one occasion:
"The true Southern watermelon Is
a boCH apart, not to be mentioned
with commoner things. 1t is chief Of
this worlds Injuries, king by grace
Of God over all the fruits Of the
earth. When one has tasted it, he
knows what the angels eat. 1t was
not a Southern watermelon that Eve
took; we know it because she re-
pcntcd."
How to Grow Watcrmclons.
Query: Please give the best me-
thods of growing watermelons on
sandy hnd?" How much fertilizer
should use? Does it pay to prune
the vines?
Answer: There are thousands Of
acres in melons grown where | live
Our growers prepare the land in De-
cember or January and check it out
8 by 8 feet and put half bushel or
more Of manure in each check and let
1t lie till spring to rot. Them they
add handful OF a good fertilizer on
this at planting time and mix it well
and make up the Hill and plant
When good stand Is secured thin to
two plants. Then scatter a table,
spoonful Of nitrate Of soda around
each hill and cultivate clean. Never
prune the vines at oil. In the alb
sence Of manure, put IN the hill about
a bushcl Of black mold from the
woods and then mix cotton seed meal
and acid phosphate equally and put a
handful OF this we'll mixed in the
woods mold and cover and make the
hill.
