Thump, Don't
Plug To Test
Watermelons
Starkville, Miss.—Dr. S. S. Ivan-
joff is one PhJD. who knows his wat-
; ermelons. 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.

P*y- If j Ivanoff comes by his reputation
as a melon thumper honestly. 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.

assistant director of the bureau.
It would top the previous high
of $526,000,000, set in 1952, by
about $74,000,000.
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. We’ll strike pretty close to
the $600,000,000 figure.”
