Jr .LaKsCitv, August 5:?And there are some others who raise . big water-melons. Kee T J "i * Rooke of Lake Cttycut one last; week that weighed tLfty-niwe -! pounds. How's that? Mr S 0 f- fiaddy had Sunday a (jieorgia. "rattlesnake" raised by himself that tipped the scales at fortyK\ ' -nine pounds. That's no slouch, > <eb? Come again, brother. By the way Mr S O JEaddy is laying the foundatioas for a : - seed business. Be is raising water-melons this year for the jftirpoee of -marketing the -seed. Three hundred poouids hace already been sold for futsre de livery and at ,good prices. He . .has discovered that melon grow ers of .a certain section the Union get best resutte from '-South Carolina grown seed. ." This beidg a business secret we ?donot give this certain section. JSbould he find it promising of snccess.^ Mr ?addy will gradually extend operations to growiag other seed than melons. Since we grow as fine vegetables as can be produced on earth why can we not grow as good seed as any section? The fact above stated with regard to meloos may be true of other * fruits and vegetables. Mr Baddy ought to be heartily commended and supported in his efforts. It may be of interest to learn that South Carolina grown cantelope heed lead the world. Mr C H Matthis, on his Barn, well farm, planted last year thirty acres in these melons and sold 7,000 pounds, realizing $14,000. Mr J L Stuckey is in Charleston on business.
