500 Farmers Meet In
Pageland; Pledge 600
Acres For Melons

That was great day at Pageland
last Monday when the Seaboard and
G. & l.. officials met about 500 of our
most progressive farmers and, after
a fine barbecue, furnished by the rail
roads, discussed the planting of
watermelons and cantaloupes for
money crops.
These officials consider the net re-
suits of the day very satisfactory, as
about 600 acres were pledged to be
planted in melons of the two varieties.
The railroads proposition is this,
briefly stated: The Dol weevil is COM
ing, and while some cotton will con-
tinue to be raised in this county, it
will no longer do as the only money
crop. There is a good market for
cantaloupes and watermelons. If
sufficient land is planted to these
crops receiving sheds will be set up
at each station by the buyers who will
buy the crops in the field and pay
cash as they are delivered to the
sheds, ths4s saving the farmer the
trouble of sorting, packing, etc.
The railroad will furnish the seed
the first year and will supply anyone
with literature on the subject of mel
on growing that is sufficiently inter-
ested to ask it.
The soil in this region has been
carefully analiZed and found To he
well adapted to the growing of these
crops and it is believed that we can
easily do as well as the section around
McColl, where $500 an acre is not
considered an unusual return.
This move has the endorsement of

the government agents as well as our
own county demonstration agent, Mr..
w. J. Tiller. The railroads are not
altogether unselfish in their efforts in
this direction. Their prosperity de-
pends upon the prosperity of the land
served by them. The prosperity of
Chesterfield county farmers spells
prosperity for the C. & L., but that
thought need not deter any farmer
from taking advantage of this excel
lent opportunity to start growing a
good money crop that the boil weevil
will not eat.
Speeches were made by Mr.. G.
Lane, general manager Of the C. & L..
Mr.. Prosser, assistant development
agent; Mr.. Bagwell, general manager
of the Seaiboard; Mr.. B.L.Hamner, de-
velopment agent; Mr.. Poyner, repre-
sentative of the express company
Mr.. T. S. Evans and Mr.. j. w. Scott,
of the Seaboard; Mr.. McGregor, rep
resenting the buyers, of Gibson, S. C. ;
D. H. McGregor, of Ruby; L. l..
Parker, of Pageland, and w. ]. Tiller,
of Chesterfield, county farm demon
stration agent.
These speakers furnished food for
thought upon which the 500 farmers
present will feast for many day.
1t is the intention of The Adver-
tiser to keep this matter before the
people of the county until the whole
proposition is thoroughly understood.
1t is the belief that the movement
thus started by these railroads can
materially affect the prosperity of
Chesterfield county if taken hold of
by our farmers
