There are ordinarily about 150 people employed at Langport, but a large number of them have volun- teered for service in the present war. WATESMELON TO GO HIOHEB. It is impossible to grow watermelons in any quantity for seed purposes or otherwise without the use of more or less commercial fertilizer. Responsible growers of melon seed in the south are hard hit on account of the enormous advance of the principal ingredients used in the manufacture of a cpmplete fertilizer. The present price per ton exceeds the last 5-year average fully 100 per cent. ' The contemplated ad- vance of around 2 and 3 cents a pound on growing contracts for 1916 will hardly cover half the actual increased cost of production. The condition of the melon crops from which seed is to be saved in the south is of vital importance to the best trade, and buyers of low-priced con- tracts for 1916 will meet disappoint- ment all the way around.
