3 PIONEER SIGNS UNIQUE
j I WATERMELON AGREEMENT
3 The Rocky Mountain News, the
r Chicago Tribune and the Denver Post
3 are circulating the following story
1 concerning Burlington’s natural hootch
t grower. The city is on the road to
3 fame that eclipses the Rocky Ford
3 melon growers by a long jump.
5 “A contract which is unique is re
c ported to have Been signed here yes
" terday betweejj H. V. Chandler and
three of the leading real estate firms
- of Burlington. Mr. Chandler, who is
t one of the oldest settlers in this county
e ar.d one of the most successful water
melon raisers in eastern Colorado, has
J contracted to plant, and care for one
f acre of watermelons for each firm. In
d the middle of August, when thf melons
t will be about half grown, Mr. Chandler
d plans to plug each melon and to plant
y in the cavity from which the plug
e comes a special yeast of his own in
vention. The outer part of the plug
is then replaced, covering it with
® grafting wax and the whole lashed in
" place by adhesive strips. Not only
“ does the yeast, acting on the natural
2 sugar content of the melon,immediately
begin to develop alcohol among the
r tissues, but it stimulates the growth
of the fruit to a tremendous degree.
j Within a week the place Where the
k melon was plugged is marked only by
i a brownish scar and within a month
from the date of the operation, nine
" ty-six per cent of the melon will show
at least 10 per cent alcohol and will
> exceed thirty pounds in weight. These
l- three real estate meh, who are A. W
d V’inegar, J. A. Swenson and E. L
e Powell are to pay Mr. Chandler $1 foi
> 1 eeery melon that equals or exceeds 1C
ments of cod liver oil when he came
up the street with the fish hanging
over his shoulder. The sight so
moved O’Donnell that he went down to
Cottortwood Lake Wednesday and
caught one just like it. Each weighed
pine pounds when taken from the
water. O’Donnell and Peter Duffy,
who accompanied him, also caught
four or five others averaging about
six pounds each.
