About 800 acres have been plant
ed in watermelons in the country
around Barlow, the biggest acreage
ever devoted to that crop insthis inn
mediate section-and practically all
of it has been done within the last
week or ten days. The excellent
prices obtained last year, some of
the growers think, is the cause for
the accelerated interest in the crop,
and may be considered to account for
the incoming of a considerable num-
Der of growers from the northern
part of the state. At the first of the
season last year, between May 10 and
%, some cars sold for from $3.50 to
$1,000, and the profit on such mar
keting, was, of course, excellent.
