LINCOLN PARISH TO LAUNCH

Ilicity in putting over Lincoln Parish

HALF ACRE MELON PATCH
NETS MORE THAN $l'5,00

w. J. Rasbury, one of Arcadia's sue
|cessful farmers we believe is entitled
to the record Of having raised and
marketed more watermelons from one
half acre of ground than any other
farmer in Bienville Parish. Up until
Wednesday morning, July q, he has
marketed $l75.00 worth of fine melons,
and says he still has more to sell from
his half acre patch.
The editor would like to have a
statement from Mr.. Rasbury as to the
total amount derived from the sale of
melons from this patch for the season.
A nice melon along with the state
ment would likewise be acceptable to
