SAVE THE MELONS Clemson College, June 20.-Many carloads of watermelons are lost an nually by South Carolina melon grow ers through stein-end rot developed while the melons are in transit to market which could be saved with slight trouble and expense by a simple treatment of the stems with Bordeaux paste at the time of loading in the cars. To help melon growers save this big loss during the shipping sea son now at hand, the Extension Ser vice has issued information Card No. 21, "Prevention of Stem-End Rot of Watermelons," which may be had free upon request fro mthe Extension Service, Clemson College, S. C., or from the county agents. The card calls attention to the method of treatment, which consists of recutting the stems at the cars and painting them with Bordeaux paste; and to the method of making the paste by using 8 ounces of blue stone and 4 ounces of starch to one gallon of water, this quantity of paste being sufficient to treat two to four carloads of melons. This home made paste is easily made according to the instructions given and may be kept a week or ten days if desired in glass or earthen vessels. A commer cial paste may now be obtained also.
