SHIPS FIRST CAR WATERMELONS
L. F. Wade, a Newcomer, Has Made Carload Ship
 ment Possible

Eutaw, July -(Special) )-The first carload of watermelons ever shipped out sf Greene county rolled from the station at Eutaw yesterday, bound for Birmingham. The melons were grown at Union a prosperous community of farmers about 12 miles north of Eutaw. The chief shipper was l.. F. Wade, who had about 1000 of the 1900 melons in the car. Mir Wade himself went to Birmingham to look after the selling of the produce.
 Greene county has always raised fine watermelons, but never before have the farmers attempted to grow them for other than local markets It remained for Mir Wade to start the production of this crop on a commer-' cial scale He is a comparatively newcomer here, having been called last year to the psstorship Of the Christian church at Union. When spring came and the farmers of his community, like those almost every where, were in doubt about what to plant for a money crop, MT. Wade suggested melons. To show his own faith in his suggestion, he agreed to grow 10 acres himself, for in addition to his ministerial duties, he looks after q farm of 150 acres, which IS furnished him by his congregation.
 In all, about 90 acres were planted to be marketed operatively. Ow- ing to the very unfavorable weather conditions that have prevailed in this section since April. MT. Wade states that the yield will not be as large as was expected, but that they will nevertheless ship about IS carloads this season

WANT FARMERS ID ADVERTISE PRODUCE
Professor Duncan Points to Success of California Or
 ange and Raisin Growers

Auburn, July 21.-Special.) )-An ex- cellent way for the farmers 10 help themselves and at the same time ac- celerate the general movement for improved business conditions Is to either individually or collectively ad- vertise their products, and thereby open up and create new markets for them, according to Prof L. N. Dun- can, director of the Alabama exten- sion service.
 Illustrating that such is desirable and feasible, Professor Duncan calls attention to the orange, peach, raisin and other fruit growers of California who have turned failure into success by organizing, employing highly trained and experienced specialists to assist them in putting their products on the market in the best possible condition by efficient marketing methods, while being properly adver- tised.
 A specific story is that of the rais- in growers around Fresno, Cal, who were producing 10000 tons of raisins in 1914. which they were forced to
 
 pound. Seeing their condition, they organized. The California Associated Raisin company, with 10000 growers as members, employed an expert man ager, adopted business methods, and appropriated thousands of dollars each year for advertising, with the result that the demands were so greatly increased that in 1920 the production had increased from 10000 pounds to 160,000 pounds, which sold for 6 much better price in spite of increased production.
 The California peach growers acted similarly, and as result of their organized business methods and ad vertising they not only increased their own price in the face of in- creased production. but by establish ing effective selling methods they reduced the price to the consumers 16 per cent in one year.
 There are many other similar stories, but the main thought is that judicious and well planned advertis- ing has caused many businesses to succeed. and farmers should profit by advertising, as other people have found it profitable.

Barclays we'll known novel: The Mistress of Shenstone,' feature film play at Mauk's Columbia theater for the last time today.

She does not know the mans identity until she has given him her heart. It is strong situ- ation and Miss Frederick brings all of her artistry to play to make it realistic. Roy Stewart also gives masterful interpretation in the role opposite Miss Frederick.
 Nick Brown has taken Columbia audiences by storm the last two even- ings: his old time melodies bringing round after round of applause. His playing of Turkey in the Straw" is irresistible. fans giving way to the swinging tune of the old time dance number.
 A Ford education travel film and Hall Room Boys comedy Tn Bad Again" are the supplementing pro- gram numbers for the last times to- night.
