WATERMELONS.
(From N. 0. G. N. Agricultural and
Industrial Department.

(From N. O. G. N. Agricultural and
Industrial Department.
! Soil-Watermelons are usually
grown on sand ridges or knolls
where the drainage is good, rather
than on the rich; darker, level, sandy
bottom lands between the knolls OF
close to river beds. Often the water
melon lands are in the vicinity oi
rivers but are usually at consider
able distance above the level of the
water.
| Preparation Of Land-Little labor
! is required to prepare sandy land for
the planting of watermelons. A
| strip two or three burrows wide is
plowed at planting time, where each
row is to be placed, and the inter
vening space plowed later. How
ever, the whole piece may be plowed
the same as for planting any other
crop. Usually single shallow fur
rows are also plowed crossways Of
the field to mark the rows so that
the melons can be planted in checks.
The distance Of planting varies in
different localities. Ten by ten is
a common distance
Fertilizers-Use from 500 to 1000
pounds of fertilizers analyzing about
1888. Best results will be obtain
ed If half the ammonia is derived
from a quickly available source. If
a mixture Of meal and acid is useG
mix at the rate Of one sack per
cent cottonseed meal to one sack 16
per cent acid phosphate. Stable ma
nure is good fertilizer but caution
must be taken that manure is we'll
rotted
Seed-Only the very best seed
should be used. Usually 2 to 4
pounds will plant an acre, depending
upon the amount Of seed placed in
the hill. Most growers place ten or
twelve seed in the hill, though the
vines are thinned down to one, or at
the most two in place, before they
commence to run.
ting-Plant early as all dam
ger from killing frost is passed The
planting season: usually extends from
the latter part Of February up to
April. Planting around the 10th of
March is recommended for this sec
ton.

April Auto Output
Shows Decided
Jump
BY Universal Service.

Practical evidence Of the in
crease in prosperity seen by
President. Harding is given in
figures on automobile produc.
ton, showing that the rate of
output has been more than dou-
bled since the first Of the year.
With reports lacking from
only a few small companies, a
production Of 1862 cars. and
2,944 trucks was shown for
April. as against 81,638 and
9,20i for January.
The increase over the pre-
vious month is nearly 30 per
cent. production for March hav-
ing been 152,647 cars and 49,
449 trucks.
Many economists now accept
the automobile industry as a
more reliable indicator Of ma
tional prosperity than the iron
and steel business.

that she established, as she put It,

When she was asked in her Little
studio, where, she says, the ghosts

the remarkable phenomena, Miss
Spore replied:
There are many OF them. They
work together, for over there is no

The paintings Miss Spore took
from their rack for me TO see were

There was a series OF pictures Of

turrets and domes Of gold. One,
