CLINKS cunr J1 IV/Li WATERMELONS IMPORTANT SOUTH CAROLINA CROP Clemson College, April 5.?Many people living in South Carolina do not know the importance of water melons tas a commercial crop in this state, says F. L. Harkey, extension agent in marketing, who has recently had many inquiries concerning such questions as the best commercial va rieties, the shipping period, the num ber of melons required to make a car, etc. Figures from the office of the ma rice ting agents show that 8,000 to 4,000 cars of watermelons are shipped out of the state annually, the majority of these being produced in Barnwell, Allendale, 'Hampton and Jasper counties. Indications are that the crop planted this year will be a large one. > The chief commercial varieties in South Carolina are the Excel and the Tom Watson. Shipments usually begin about July 1 and end about Septem ber 1. ThO|1920 shipping season was at its height from July 20 to July 30. On July 29, .1920, 300 cars were shipped. When the South Carolina move ment of watermelons is on, sharp competition is to be expected from Georgia. Some shipments are also moving at that time from Alabama j and North -Carolina, and a few from Florida, though the Florida movement becomes comparatively unimportant after July 15. The majority of melon shipments from South Carolina go to Eastern markets, <hough many care are sold in Southern territory throughout the shipping season,; for almost every town of any size handles one or morej cars of watermelons. For th e advance instruction of those planting watermelons commer sially it might be said that watermel ons are usually loaded in ventilated box cars 4 or 5 layers high depend ing on the size of the melons. When melons average 18 pounds, 1300 to 1450 are usually loaded to a car; when they average 25 pounds or more, 900 to 1200 are usually loaded to a car. All cars should be cltan and j bedded with dry pine needles or grain straw. Shavings and sawdust :an be used if absolutely dry but are not the most desirable bedding.

CONVENTION WILL B HELD IN ROCK HILL Spartanburg, April 6.?Rock Hill, which is to entertain the next South Carolina State Sunday School Con vention, has broken all records in State Convention financing, by rais ing a larger amount and.-paying it earlier than any other city that has ever entertained the Convention. This statement was issued yester day from the state headquarters of the Sunday School . Association in Spartanburg by Leon C. Palmer, 'eneral superintendent of the organi zation.

Not only have they raised the amount; they have paid in cash, at an earlier date than any other city has ever paid its advertising fund. Hock Hill stands in a class to iteelf among the cities that have entertain ed the State Sunday School Conven tion. .

Do not raise your bees on the honey flow, but raise them for the honey flow," 'says "the bee man" of Ihe Extension Service. As soon as the weather is warm enough, examine the bees and deter mine, first, if they have plenty of stores; second, whether they have a good laying queen; third, whether they have sufficient room. A queenless colony or a colony with a failing queen that does not lay a sufficient number of eggs, should be united with another colony having a good queen. Two colonies may be united as follows: Place the hive containing the weak queenfess colony over the hive con taining a colony with a queen,, put ting a single sheet of newspaper be tween the two.
