5000 ACRES NOW
IN MELON GROUP
Middle Georgia Association Iri-
ple Last Years Size-1O,OOO
Acres States Increase

MACON, Feb. 28.-The annual
meeting of the board of directors OF
the Middle Georgia Melon Growers
association has been called by Presl-
dent A. NJ. Gates to be held IN Dub
lin. Thursday, March 2. AT this
meeting ali plans and contracts for
the coming season will be made by
the association.
The officers of the association SAID
that they were we'll pleased with
the progress that as been made since
last season. At the present time
5000 acres having been signed up
for the coming season, in compare
son with 2,l00 acres of last year. 1t
was further stated that while the as
sociation handled CAT ears of melons
last year, it was estimated that from
1000 to 5000 cars would be handled
during the season of 1922.
In view of the fact that there Will
be 10000 acres increase in Georgia
watermelons this year, the water
melon growers all over the middle
and eastern sections of Georgia
realize more fully the value of an
organization to control distribution.
The 10000 acre increase is not eX-
pected to affect the tonnage from
Georgia this year, as both the South
west Georgia association and the
Middle Georgia association are elm
mating the shipping of small-size
melons, thereby insuring the menu
hers the best price the market af-
fords for the large and marketable
size melons.
1t is understood that the North
American Fruit Exchange and the
American Fruit Growers viii make
bids for the handling of the associa-
ton melons, both these firms having
a nationwide selling organization
that will give the product the best
possible distribution.
Members and acreage are being
accepted by the association at
daily rate of from 200 to 500 acres,
and this is expected to continue
until the annual meeting Thursday.
