L. Harkev, Extension agent ir marketing, who has recently had many inquires (.oncoming such questions as the l?est commercial varieties, the shipping period, the mum ber of melons required to make a car, etc. Figures from the officc 1 of the marketing agents show that 1 3,Q00 to 4,000 cars of watermelons ' are shipped out of the state annually, the majority of these being 1 produced in Barnwell, Allendale, Hampton, and Jasper Counties. Indications are that the crop plan;ed this year will be a large one. The chief commercial verities in South Carolina are the Excel and the Tom "Watson. Shipment", usually begin * about July 1 a id end about September 1. The 1;)20 sl.jp ping season was at its height fion July 20 to July 30. On July 21). 1920, 800 cars were shipped. When the South Carolina" movement of watermelons is on, j-luirp competition is to he expected from Georgia. Some shipments are also moving at that time from Alabama and North Carolina, and *i few from Florida, though the Florida movements becomes comparatively u>.important after July 15. The majority of melon shipments "rom South Carolina go to Eastern markets though many cars are sok' i i Southern tei*r'itory throughout the shipping season, for almost every own of any size handles one oi more cars of watermelons. *1 % . .

BELL RAISES " BIG OAT CROP As the raising of stock in Horry ' County increases from year to year it becomes more and more important for fanners to learn how to proluce an abundance of feed. The ..

( Paris.?Plans for Memorial Day and commemorative exercises thruout France in honor of America's J dead who are buried in French soil, have been considered by the American Memorial Day committee at a meeting; held at the American legion headquarters. This general committee unites under the honorary presidency of Ambassador Hugh C.

Following the program adopted last year, the committee will provide for the placing of flowers or wreaths upon every grave in France and will organize appropriate exercises in all of the principal military and c.ivi! cemeteries where American dead are buried. Due to the generous contributions made last year the committee finds that the funds on hand for this year's ceremonies are ; mplo to cover the prospective expense? of the program. Therefore it is announced that no appeal will bo made to the public by t!ie committee for fundr for the ceremonies of 1021.
