In fact, the professor is ; considered by many the world’s j champion watermelon thumper. Ivanoff has come up with a “sure- ! fire” five-step method for picking i lout ripe, juicy melons. And the old-j 'fashioned plugging—cutting a hole in' 'the melon—has no place in his sci- entfic system. LAURENS Ready-Mix Concrete, de livered at competitive prices. Prompt service.

He’s a plant pathologist at Mississippi State college’s agricultural experiment j station and currently he is engaged in research trying to develop better watermelons. Ivanoff has run across some rather odd facts. For instance, he says peo ple in Chicago prefer the Black Dia mond type of melon. Folks in Mem phis lean toward the Garrison, which is long and striped. Scientists ballyhooed the develop ment of a seedless watermelon, but Ivanoff doubts the discovery will ever be a money-maker. He believes people get too big a kick spitting out the seeds.

Greene noted the heavy advertis ing space gains chalked up by newspapers in the first five months of this year. ‘We see little cause to doubt that the first five months’ linage performance will continue,” he said. ‘The picture should be even brighter in the latter half of the year.
