Watermlons and Seeds
Used for Many Proposes

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 con-
sumption as popular fruit. House
wives have long been familiar with
pickles and preserves made from
watermelon rind. In China and other
oriental countries watermelon seed is
used as table delicacy. Seedsmen in
this country not only ship seed for
this purpose, but also find market
for their product in the Chinese dis
tricts of New York and San Fran
cisco. This liking for the seed is evil
IDENTIFY not restricted to the Orient, for
some years ago well-known explorer
reported an African tribe that sharp
ened the teeth in order to better strip
the hulls from watermelon seeds.
Within recent years firm in Alabama
has undertaken to manufacture vine
gar from the juice, and from Russia
come reports that during the past few
years of hardship concentrated water
melon juice has been used in place of
sugar to sweeten coffee.
The production of watermelon SEED
is an industry by itself. In single
county in Florida approximately 1000
acres of watermelons are grown an
nually for seed purposes This one sec
ton supplies great proportion of the
watermelon seed planted in the United
States, and on occasion also ships to
foreign platners. In recent years ship
ments of seed for planting have been
made to Tarsus, Asia Minor to 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 Anthrac-
nose, fungous disease of the foliage
and fruit, means reduced Weld and
pock-marked melons that rot in the
field and in the freight car. Stcm-end
rot is trouble that occurs in transit
cnly, and originates with infection of
the melon by the causal organism at
the cut stem. Anthracnose is control-
ed by spraying the vines; stem-end rot
by the practice of field sanitation and
stem treatment. Plans are being made
by the Department of Agriculture to
assist growers, distributors and car
ricrs in the proper application of dis
ease-control measures during the COM
ing season.

February Garden Reminders

If the seed corn has not been test
ed, now is the time. The rag doll
system is simple and efficient. 1t is
much better to spend a little time
now wedding out the ears low in
termination than to spend several
days in the busy season this summer
leplanting corn.
Beware of the seed catalogue with
the impossible claims. There never
was a strawberry plant that would
produce two hundred berries or
pumpkins that hid the corn, as the
pictures in some unreliable cata-
logs indicate.
1t is time to be thinking about the
hot bed for starting the tomato, cab
bage and sweet potato plants. In
the south, tobacco seed will be plant
ed in the cold frames. The hot bed
should be built on dry ground with a
southern exposure so that it will get
all the sunlight possible. The
simplest type of hot bed is the one
built on top of the ground. 1t con.
sists of wooden frame we'll packet
with rich manure, containing consid.
cradle straw. The manure is packed
down solid and we'll dampened
About six inches of rich dirt or com.
post forms the seed bed. A glass
frame for the top completes the hot
bed.-Farm Life.

Presidents Pastor Will
Deliver Baccaulaureate
Sermon .t Furman

Greenvillc, S. c., Fe l0.-The
pastor of President Harding and
Secretary of State Hughes, the Rev.
w. S. Abernethty, of Calvary Bap-
tist church, Washington, ID. c., will
deliver the baccaulaureate sermon at
Furman University's commencement
exercises this year. The annual ad-
dress to the literary societies will be
delivered by DR.. S. G. Mitchell, pro-
fessor Of history in Richmond Uni
versity, and former president Of the
University Of South Carolina.
DR.. Abcmcthy is considered one of
the greatest preachers in America. 1t
was he who was invited to deliver the
opening prayer at the convcning Of
the armament conference in Wash q.
ington last fall. DR.. Mitchell is re-
garded as one of the foremost teach
crs Of history in the United States
and is a scholar of unusual attain
mcnts and highest culture.
A somewhat radical change in
plans for the commencement eXer-
cises this year are announced by
President w. J. McGlothlin. The
date for the annual event has been
moved up two weeks, and will take
place May 23,. "a and 25, instead of
June a, and 6, as announced in the
catalogue. DR.. Mitchell will deliver
his address on the evening of May
%, in Judson Alumni Hall, on Fur
man campus. while DR.. Abcrncthy
will preach the baccaulaurcate ser
mon on the morning Of May "a at the.
First Baptist church of Grcenvil!e,
Graduating exercises will take place
ON the morning OF May 25 in Judson
Alumni Hall.
Final examinations for under-class-
men will take place after commence
ment exercises and work for the scs-
sion will be suspended June 3rd. 1t
is believed that the change in plans
for the commencement exercises, re.
sulting in holding all under-class-
men at the university until the COM
mcncement program is over, will add
greatly tc the success and enjoyment

To met this need great many of

courses in agricultural and home eco

Christmas holidays, the spring vaca-

such farm problems as how to build

to select seed. how To Gull a flock,
how to manage live stock or special

tories are opened to the girl students
who wish to know more about bread
making, laundry work, dressmaking
and other household branches.
Arrangements are made for housing
the students who come to these
courses. and after study hours suitable
recreation is provided. The courses
usually result in developing leaders
who can stimulate future club work
to its highest activity. Last year
$40 scholarships were given at 81
agricultural colleges in both short and
long term courses, so that many who
might have been deferred by even
small tuition fee were able to enjoy
the work. More than 5,l55 former
club members, largely encouraged by
the taste of college life received in
short courses, are now enrolled as reg
ular students in various colleges.

Philippines Exports
On The Increase

Manila, p. l., Dec. 30.-(By MaiD
For the first time in many months
the balance, of trade Of the Philippine
Islands during November was in the
favor of the islands. The total trade
for the month amounted to $13,176,-
600 of which $8,032,311 was for ex-
ports and $5,143,851 was for imports.
According to the bureau of customs
the excess of exports over imports is
due both to the fact that the Philip
pines, have bought less than usual and
to better market for copra, sugar
and hemp, some of the leading pro-
ducts Of the country.

growing crops, and it is freer Of all
weed seeds.
Farm labor is cheaper, more rea-
sonable, and easier to get; imple-
ments and staples are lower, and
farm products have reached the very
bottom. 1922 promises better con-
ditions for farmers.
Outside of paint, there is hardly
anything that improves the place
more than cement walls. And they
are real convenience, too. But
gravel or cinder walks are better
than none.
There are many worthwhile vege.
tables seldom if ever found in the
average farm garden. Egg plant
satisfy, celery, cauliflower, brussels
sprouts and endive are few that
deserve place in every garden.
Many orchards are covered with
weeds or are bare. A top-dressing of
manure this month is the first step
towards a permanent meadow. Then
be sure to plow before the leaves be

If you intend to cultivate any land

Many Visit Forests.

Value Of the national forests for
recreation is increasing by leaps and
bounds. Six million people visit the
forests annually to camp, fish, hunt,
hike motor or rest, from all parts of
the United States, says the American
Forestry Magazine. Recreational use
Of these forests represents possibly
less than l per cent of their total po-
tential use. The rapid increase in
the plumber of people deriving pleas
ure from the forests Is due in large
part to their recreational develop

thousand campgrounds have been SET

permits have been Issued for over
5000 summer homes, cabins, hotels
