prominent growers and the wonderful,
favorable climate and soil conditions
enable them to produce a watermelon
that Is not equaled anywhere. This
delightful fruit Is sought for in wide
market area but recently since the
common use of automobiles and motor
trucks their market consists of thous-
ands who drive to the Ohio River
from both sides for many miles back.
In this way a new method Of market
ing has been developed. Doubtless,
this way of doing will be greatly in
tensiied in the near future 1t is a
satisfaction to the buyer and much
more satisfactory and comfortable to
the grower. The transaction is closed
at the farm without shipping risk to
the grower and no commission to other
parties. This way of marketing is
ideal and it looks as if 1t would be
greatly increased, not only for melons
but other farm produce. This Is one
of early benefits which are strikingly
apparent from the construction of
good roads and the operation of i'm
proved automobiles and motor trucks.
