FATE OF THE WATERMELONS Starts In tho Southland and Ends In All 8orts of Places Finally. On trucks, -by carloads and trainloads, the beautiful cool-looking; green watermelons of Dixie travol North, and finally reach murkots in New York, Philadelphia and other cities, of thut section. There the watermelons, or many of them at least, go through strange processes before they reach the ultimate consumer. In the ifrst place, the melon is weighed and sold by the pound. Very cheap in mid summer, according to a story of The New York Times inaga-. zinc, on how New York consumes its' melons. Only about two conts a pound. They are sold to housewives, to push-cart peddlers, to hotels and restuurunts. The peddler sells his by the slice, hawking it through the street with loud cries about its delicious flavor. The housewife often buys a part of a melon and serves it in small section, say, about half of a round slice. She may, following suggestions in u magazine devoted to housekeeping arts, commit the atrocity of putting powwered BUgar 011 it. Sho may servo it with honey or pineapple Juice, or otherwise corrupt its delicious flavor. Restaurants and hotels serve it in Hlices or In sections cut from the rind 1 and chilled. Or cut into small balls and garnished witli mint. An Unglish touch is offered by serving water-, melon with brandy sauce. There is even a process of crushing the pulp and serving only the juice, or sometimes of boiling the Juice to a syrup with sugar and using the product as a sauce for cantaloupes or other melons. All of which shows how one of nature's choice gifts can be sacrificed on the altar 'of so-called civilization. An old Southern custom, we might 'i say, gone North and gone wrong. Hut Harlem saves the day and comos across with a proper reception for the watermelon. In Harlem, consumption of melons is heavy, and very naturalBrown dwellers In the black belt of Manhattan, as in the corresponding area of the United States, take their melon not by the cube, the ball, or the Btarshapen section, "but by the long slice and In the hands. They dive in 'till only the whites of their eyes show above the rosy rim, and then blow the seeds Into the gutter. New York's watermelons, by the way, says this story, come from twelve states, with the largest quantity being supplied by South Carolina. According to count, made last summer, the consumption of watermelons in New York was two million, plus some uncounted truckloads besides. But with six million Inhabitants this means only a third of a melon apiece for the whole season. Considering Harlem's largo appetite for the southern delicacy, there, must have been aplenty of New Yorkers who did not have even one slice or one honeysoaked cube.?The State.
