The watermelon is a native of Africa, but is now more largely grown In the United States than anywhere else. It grows best on rich, warm, sandy loans that are well drained. If possible, a southern slope should be chosen for early melons.
 It is desirable in growing water melons for market that they follow a crop of clover or cowpeas. They should be rotated with other crops, and not planted on the same ground again for three or four years.
 The preparation of the land consists In thorough cultivation at intervals of three or four weeks before the seed is planted. This Is for the purpose of exterminating the weed seed and put ting the soil in the best possible condi- tiOn. In Georgia, rather shallow plow- Ing, followed by thorough pulveriza- tion with the disk harrow, is practiced.
 Cultivation consists in thorough shal- low tillage, with loosening of the soil about the plants whenever it becomes compact. After the plants have be- come thoroughly established and dan ger from insects is past they are thinned out to about three of the most vigorous in each hill
 Watermelon growers in various sec tions of the country frequently suffer loss from disease which blights the foliage and spots the fruit. The

Use fresh homemade bordeaux mix ture. In preparing it, follow directions exactly, as much depends on the way the ingredients are combined Use a good spray pump, operated at a pres sure of 100 pounds or more. Spray thoroughly. The time of application depends on the weather and the devel- opment of the crop. The disease usual ly appears when the fruit is nearly grown. Watch carefully for the leaf spot and spray as soon as any appears. In any case, make an application two weeks before maturity and a second a week later.
 Everyone who uses bordeaux mix ture frequently and in quantity will find it convenient to keep concentrated stock solutions on hand, as these keep indefinitely if the water which evap- crates is replaced.
 Build an elevated platform to hold the barrels. Suspend 50 pounds of copper sulphate to dissolve in a 50- gallon barrel of water Stake 50 pounds of lime in another barrel. Add water to make 50 gallons of lime milk. When bordeaux mixture is needed stir both stock barrels and take from each as many gallons as the formula calls for in pounds, Dilute the copper sul- phate in one barrel and the lime milk 1n another, each with half the water, and let the two run together into the strainer of the spray tank.
 To those who expect to spray on a large scale more detailed instruction about fungicides and their application than can be given here is available in Farmers Bulletin No. 243, United States department of agriculture, Washington

Mir Cartwright sat back in his chair
 and once more BrouiIlard saw in tht
 sandy-gray eyes the look which haC
 been in the sons eyes when the dere
 lict fought for freedom to finish killing
 stephen Massingale,
 Its pretty dangerous thing to try
 to hold man up unless you've got the
 drop on him, BrouilIard," he said sig
 nificantly I've got you covered from my pocket; I've had you covered that
 way ever since you began to buck and rear on me couple of months ago. One little wire word to Washington l fixes you for good and all If I say the word, you'll stay on your job just as long as it will take another man to get here to supersede you"
 Brouillard laughed
 The pocket drop is never very safe. MT Cartwright. You are likely to lose too much time feeling for the proper range. Then, too, you can never be sure that you won't miss. Also, your assumption that I'm taking an un- armed mans chance is wrong I can kill you l fore you can pull the trig- ger of the pocket gun you speak of kill you so dead that you won't need anything but a coroner's jury and coffin. How long would it take you to get action ill the Washington matter, do you think?"
 I've told you; you have just about a week longer to live, at the farthest."
 q can better that" was the cool reply 'I have asked you to do a cer- tain thing tomorrow night If you don't do 1t, the Spotlight will print, on the following morning, that letter I spoke of-the letter from my friend in the bureau of land statistics. When that letter is printed everybody in Mirapo- lis will know that you and your accom- plices are plain swindlers, amenable to the criminal law, and from that mo- ment there will never be another real estate transfer in the Niquoia valley"
 The promoter rose slowly out of his | chair and stood leaning heavily with | his fat hands, palms downward, on the | flat-topped desk. His cheeks were puffed out and the bitten mustaches bristled like the whiskers of gray old leader of the timber wolves.
 "Brouillard," he grated huskily, does this mean that you're breaking with us, once for all?"
 "It means more than that; it means hat have reached a point at which I ,m ashamed to admit that there was ever anything to break"
 Then listen: You've helped this hing along as much as, or more than, else in this town; and there Ire men right here in Mirapolis- plenty of 'em-who will kill you like a at in a hole if you go back on them IS you are threatening to. Don't you ,now that?"
 The younger man was balancing the { ,aper cutter across his finger That is the least of my worries"

he answered, speaking slowly. 'T am all sorts of a moral coward, suppose: I've proved that often enough in the past few months, God knows. But I'm not the other kind, MT. Cortwright"
 Then I'll take hand!" snarled the tyrant at bay. m spend million dol lars, if 1 have to- blacklistins you from one end of this country to the otherI I'll fix it so you'll never build any thing bigger than a hog pen again as long as you live! I'll publish your rec ord wherever there is a newspaper to print it!" He pounded ol the desk with his fst-'I'll do it- money can do it! More than that, you never get smell of that Chigringol lmine-you nor Dave Massingale."
 Brouillard tossed the papr-knife in to half-opened drawer, and squared himself at the plotting padl
 That is your challenge is it?" he said curtly 50 be it. Start your machinery. You will ddbtless get

There is loud chuckIing in British naval circles over the latest story: Somewhere in the North sea" a cer- tain tlotilla was ordered to proceed to sea for gunnery practice. During the practice heavy fog came on, and the ship whose turn it was to fire did not sight the target until within 800 yards range. She immediately opened fire, and blew the target clean out of the water. The senior officer of the fo- tilla. who is noted for his caustic tongue, thereupon made the following signal to the vessel ill question: IS. c. to captain of -: Why did you not proceed closer and bite it?"

WHY WOMEN
 WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkhau, Medi-
 cine Co.

Women who are well often ask "Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkharn Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?" Are they truthful ?" Why do women write such letters?"
 In answer we say that never have we published fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Go. is that Lydia E. Pink ham 8 Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements. inflammation, alteration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.

 You are ready to let go, are you?" ne said. You are too late. MT. Ford returned from Europe week ago, and nave a wire saying that tonight's through freight from Brewster is chief ly made up of empty ore cars for the Little Susan'"
 The sandy-gray eyes blinked at this. but MT. Cartwright was of those who die hard.
 What I said still holds good. Mas singale or his son, or both of them, will gamble the money. And if they don't, we've got 'em tied up in hard knot on the stock proposition.
 T was coming to that" said Brouil- lard quietly For long time you have been telling me what l should do and l have done it. Now I'll take my turn. You must notify your associ- ates that the Little Susan deal is off. | There will be a called meeting of the directors here in this room tomorrow evening at eight o'clock, and"

Just leave Massingale out of it and make uT your mind that you're going to sit in with us We've bought the mine and paid for it. I've got the stock put away where it's safe. Massingale cant touch share of it, or vote it either"
 Brouillard shook his head.
 You are stubbornly hard tG" con vince, MT. Cartwright, but I'll try one more time. You will come here to morrow evening, with your confeder ates in the deal, prepared to take the money you have actually spent in bet terments and prepared to release the stock If you fail to do so you vii get nothing Is that explicit enough?'
