Mr. Fort is a Philadelphia man who has had large holdings of land in the Bogue Sound section for more than a dozen years. He is thor oughly familiar with the production and marketing of this Carteret Coun ty product, and hence he believes if this suggestion is put into practice it may prove of inestimable value to the Bogue Sound melon producers.

The edges of this stencil could be edged with glue and these could be attached to the melon with very little effort, Mr. Fort be lieves. The part of the melon covered up by the dark paper would bleach out almost white in about two weeks, and then the stencil would be remov ed when the melon was harvested there would be an almost white area upon which would stand out in bold relief in the natural dark green of the melon the inscription: "Delicious Bogue Sound Watermelons." Mr. Fort thinks that the novelty of this would attract passers-by and would therefore in all likelihood boost the sale of these melons. It is also the opinion of Mr. Fort that the increased market and the better prices these novelty-labeled Bogue Sound melons would command would far more, than pay the cost of .,he extra trouble in competition with tho non-labeled melons from the same territory. ...
