.225- POUND MELONS
ON GEORGIA SOIL, IS
NJ LENDON'S HOPE:

A movement to revolutionize the
watermelon industry of Georgia and
put the reverse English on the negro
migration problem at the same time,
has been inaugurated by Secretary
Of State S. G. McLendon, aided and
abetted by Claude Eubanks, vice
president of the Georgia Cotton
Growers Cooperative association.
Secretary McLendon, who is one
of the widest readers in the state,
noticed a news item to the effect
that one Ali kheder had presented
the Sultan of Turkey with a water.
melon weighing 225 pounds
Familiar with the possibilities of
Georgia soil and convinced that no
country on earth can grow larger or
more luscious watermelons than
Georgia, Secretary McLendon imme-
diately wrote the American consul
in Constantinople and the embassy
at Washington for a verification of
the report. He received confirma-
ton from both sources, and a let.
ter from Ali Kheder himself.
Area Is Located
Pursuing the matter further, Sec
rotary McLendon asked the consu.
late at Constantinople for some of
the watermelon seed for a try-out
in Georgia soil. There was some
difficulty in locating the exact re-
gion in which the giant melons were
produced, but with the cooperation
of American missionaries at Tarsus.
Marash and Aintab, and a story told
by a student at Robert college, in
Constantinople, the Garden of Eden
was finally located,
while travelling through Anato-
la, l saw camel caravan, with
each camel carrying two huge water
melons, and staggering under the
load" the college student declared.
With this tip, R. o. Hall, acting
commercial attache of the American
consulate at Constantinople, located
the home Of the gigantic melons at
Diabehir, in Anatolia, and secured
some Of the seed for Secretary Nc.
Tendon. He wrote Colonel McLen-
don that an American missionary
had confirmed the report that the
melons in that section were fire.
quently four feet long.
Secretary McLendon has received
packages of the seed that produce
the 200 and 225-pound melons, and
also seed of the small or garden va
riety, that weigh only $50 anad 100
pounds. In addition there were some
yellow seed that appear to produce
cantaloupes Of a gigantic species.
Worth Travelling For
Dock how far would you go to
get a watermelon four feet long and
weighing 225 pounds?" Secretary
McLendon asked Dock" Mitchell,

he might have to deal" Senator
Hitchcock and his Democratic col
leagues on Capitol Hill merely grin

Mr.. Fall Observed however, that
he couldn't tell whether Mr.. Viii
son could move his legs, and some
Democrat countered with the obser-
walton that Mr.. Wilson didn't deal
with the Mexican situation with his
legs anyway"
The inside Of the matter was that
a remarkable will power, careful
nursing, and skillful medical atten-
ton had been showing their effects.
All these served to prolong the sick
mans life; they enabled him to walk
again with the aid of a cane which
he thereafter facetiously referred to
as his third leg" and they enabled
him to use his left hand and arm
to some extent, although when he
appeared in public Mr. Wilson gen
erlly hooked his left thumb in a but
