WATERMELONS AND SEEDS
USED FOR MANY PURPOSES
Some Interesting Facts Furnished
by the Federal Agricultural
Department.

In its studies of the control OF
watermelon diseases the United
States Department OF Agriculture
has found that there are numerous
uses for watermelons outside Of their
consumption as popular fruit.
Housewives have long been familiar
with pickles and preserves made from
watermelon rind. In China ard other
oriental countries watermelon seed
is used as table delicacy. Seeds
men in this country not only ship
seed for this purpose, but also find
a market for their product in the
Chinese districts of New York and
San Francisco. This liking for the
seed is evidently lot restricted to the
Orient, for some years ago a we'll

tribe that sharpened the teeth in order

on one tract of land l own were $14.OO
a year during the Sickles admlnistra-

is of Huguenot descent; Mrs. Mouzor

after the Revocation of the Edict OF

The Huguenots and the Scotch-Irist

Alexander never conquered. These

Huguenots went from Scotland into
France a few centuries before theil

interesting to note that the French

A GOOD BILL TO PASS.

y Senator Miller's bill which has re-
Gently passeu the Senate is one that
will doubtless receive the heraty ap-
probation of the people of the state.
It should also receive the full sup
port of the entire legislative body,
but that is hardly probable since it
is no more than natural for some OF
our representative to differ in opinion
even if they haven't a friend they
would continue in fat job. The
bill we refer to is that which would
consolidate the duties of the Public
Service Commission and Railroad
Commission and create ore commits
sion composed of seven members, one
from each congressional district, and
have these on a per diem basis Of pay
that will enable the legislature to
secure men of recognised ability for
the work. In commenting on this
bill the Hartsville Messenger says:
"senator Miller's bill which has been
passed for third reading is a step
forward toward proper regulation OF
public services in South Carolina in
that it will go long way toward
eliminating the ineffciency and IN
effectiveness of the two commissions
az they are now constituted. 1t makes
possible q per diem salary that will
induce the sort Of men needed into
the service of the new commission
and at the same time brings about
an economy by establishing one COM
mission that will do the work former,
ly done by two, paying the rev ono
only for the time worked. OF course
the ideal move would be to establish
. whole time public service commits
sion with adequate salaries paid, but
need of economy doubtless proves Mr..
Miller's plan the better one. AS the
need of such commission increases
it will sooner or later become a whole
time department of state government
and the new bill paves the way for
such future development"

The Mouzons of Mouzon.
(Rv William Willis Boddic.)

(By William Wills bouulcJ
Samuel Ruffin Mouzon and Caroline
Montgomery Mouzon, husband ana
wife for almost half century, are
among the most interesting people
in Williamsburg county to me. They
live on the same spot where his faith
ers have dwelt for more than one
hundred and fifty years.
About eighteen months ago' soon
after I had come to Williamsburg,
Mrs. D. C. Scott, then Regent Of the
Margaret Gregg Gordon chapter OF
the D. A. R., took me one afternoon
to see the Mouzons, along the way
that Tarleton had gone on that cer-
tain memorable afternoon in l7So
from Kingstree to Mouzons, where
he burned the manor house and thir-
teen other buildings appendant TO the
messuage of Captain Henry Mouzon

tempted terror against the Huguenots

ard from Russia come reports that
during the pas: few years of hard
ship concentrated watermelon juice
has been used in place of sugar to
sweeten coffee.
The production of watermelon seed
is an industry by itself. In i single
county in Florida approximately 1000
at,es of watermelons are grown an
rually for seed purposes. This one
section supplies great proportion Of
the watermelon seed planted in the
United States, and or occasion also
ships to foreign planters. In recent
years shipments of seed for planting
have been made to Tarsus, Asia Minor.
t, China, and other far-distant points.
During past years profits in our
southern watermelon industry have
been severely cut, due to the effect
OF several destructive diseases. An
thracnose, fungous disease Of the
foliage and fruit, means reduced yield
and pock-marked melons that rot in
the field and in the freight car.
Stem-end rot is trouble that occurs
in transit only, and originates with
infection of the melon by the causal
organism at the cut stem. Anthrac-
nose is controlled by spraying the
vines; stem-end rot by the practice
of field sanitation and stem treatment.
Plans are being made by the depart
ment of agriculture to assist growers,
distributors, and carriers in the prop
er application of diseasc-control meas
ures during the coming season.

Editor Glacier: The members Of

the local newspapers for all future
time.
AT the meeting in December many
resolutions were discussed and some
adopted which we did not think best
to publish at that time.
Although members were supporters
of both Olcott and Pierce, all were
glad 10 send a message 10 Governor
elect Pierce, pledging support in his
taXreductiOn program. From what
we saw i'm Hood River papers before
the election we thought this resolution
would probably be held up for ridi-
cule. This resolution was sent to the
State Grange publication.
Time for discussion Of county tax
budget was limited. Tax budget COM
mittee had been appointed from all
the oranges so this matter was left to
them.
Both editors were sending reports OF
