WfW?TI I Down South where the best wa- 
W v-Ji\. 1 rl MiUW HNva termelons are grown, wide awake 
growers leave only two melons to grow on each vine. (New 
method.) There were two neighbors, both grew melons, one 
followed the new method and the other did not. Both were 
members of a melon growers association. The man with two 
melons to the vine sold six cars of melons, the smallest of 
which weighed 28 lbs. For his crop he received $2,440.00 The 
other man left all his melons on the vines, had smaller mel¬ 
ons and the association could only sell four cars for him. 
His biggest melons weighed 27 lbs. and the others ranged 
down to 12 lbs. These melons netted the grower only $660.00. 
The difference in favor of the man who believes in up to date 
methods was $1,780.00, enough to buy a fine automobile.

WE DO NOT SUBSTITUTE 
UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO 
When our stock of certain seed is exhausted, we prefer 
to lose the sale and promptly send your money back. We do 
not believe in sending you something "just as good.” You 
dislike receiving your money back when seed is what you 1 
want. We do not blame you—but, is it not better to frankly 
tell you that we are out of what you ask for, than to keep 
your money and substitute?
