Consolidated Jum 1. 192ft. 'JurnTLIk* a Mambar of lha Family” VOLUME LIL BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JULY 18TH. 1929. NUMBER 4$. SHIPPING POINT INSPECTION PAYS NOW BEING PRACTICED WITH WATREMELONS.x Barnwell County Growers Find Of ficial Certificates Well Worth Obtaining. •v Helen in Stocking* Down in Barnwell there is being practiced for the first time in South Carolina joint federal ard State ship ping poirt inspection of watermelons moving to market in car lots. This service has been arranged by Dr. W. W. Long of Clemson college, director of the agricultural extersion service; A. H. Ward, of Aiken, district agert; George E. Price, chief of the market ing division, ard H. G. Boylston, coun ty agent for Barnwell. During last week the irspector at Barnwell, E. D. Quattlebaum, issued certificates for 25 cars. Most of the melons were Tom Watson’s, but some Excels and Dixie Belles were laso loaded. Farmers who have expressed them selves say that this sendee has al ready beer, a great help to the Barn- ell market. Some say that an aver- j age of at least $25 to $50 more has \ been obtained per car by reason of j this official inspection and certifica tion. The highest price was paid at Ram- well Saturday for any car loaded so far this seasor. Terry Richardson loaded a car of Tom Watsons aveiag- * ing 35.7 pounds each which sold for $450 at Barnwell. The price range for Watsons has been $225 to $450, for Excels $105 to $250, for Dixie Belles $1*5 to $250. It is believed that this service will extend to many other points ar other seasor and will be the means of build ing up a better cash track market in the South Carolina commercial water melon growir g region than has ever been enjoyed before.
