HALBERTS MELON INDUSTRY
HAS PROFITABLE OUTPUT
TWO AND A HALF TONS SEED
Mr. H. A. Halbert of Coleman,
originator of the famous Halbert
Honey melon, which is world-wide in
name and popularity, has the pros-
pect of a prosperous year in the sale
of his seeds. Two and a half tons
of watermelon seeds seems gigantic j Coleman county:
CARRIERS NOT REQUIRED
TO LIFT LOOSE COINS
FROM RURAL MAIL BOXES
The following instructions from the
Postmaster General’s department in
Washington is respectfully called to
the attention of the Rural Carriers
and patrons of the Rural Service in
John Carsey of Greenville, Texas,
accompanied by his family, was the
guest of his brother-in-law, W. J.
Coulson of this city Friday and Sat-
urday. Mr. Carsey was en rfiute by
auto to the Devils River country for
a few weeks outing.
Arkansas Bound.
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Warnock, Mrs.
J. T. Simmons, Mrs. E. S. Morrison
and Sheriff W. I* Futch are sched-
uled to leave today for the old home
and haunts of their youth in the state
of Arkansas. Mr. Futch will confine
his visit to a week while the others
will probably linger a month in the
old State. Mrs. Simmons and Mrs.
Morrison have not renewed acquaint
ances and kin in Arkansas since
thirty-one years ago when they jour-
neyed toward the setting sun.
in proportions, and it is some stack
of just watermelon seeds. These
seeds will be retailed and wholesaled
over the country at about a dollar
the pound, so it is seen that Mr. Hal-
bert’s seed business is no kindergar-
ten affair.
Mr. Halbert has long since ceased
selling melons for profit, but confines
his operations to the sale of the seed.
At his melon farms the public is al-
lowed to help itself, but the seed
must lie saved. No melons are re-
moved from the farm. From twenty
acres of his Rubber-Rind melon Mr
Halbert will get approximately a ton
and a half of seed. From his Hal-
bert Honey patch of 25 acres he will
get about 1,500 pounds of seed. The
Halbert Honey melon contains fewer
seed that most any melon, hence the
small output of seed from the twen-
ty-five acres.
In addition to the melon seed in-
dustry Mr. Halbert does a profitable
business in the sale of his drouth-re-
sisting Halbert Hybrid corn. His;
sales this year will approximate one |
thousand dollars. The Halbert pre-
mium pecan has world-wide notoriety
and Mr. Halbert has never been able
to supply the demand for it.- Thi3
year’s pecan yield promises to be
prolific. In fact, Mr. Halbert is of
the opinion, after visiting a large
portion of the pecan orchards of the
country, that Texas will produce the
largest pecan crop of its history.
Veterinary Surgeon.
Until further notice I will be in
Coleman on each First Monday or can
come on special call at any time.
Will be glad to consult with any one
having sick or diseased stock.

Office of Fourth Asst. P. M. Gen.
Washington, Aug. 26. 1913.
The attention of postmasters at ru-
ral delivery offices and of rural car-
riers is again directed to the fact that
rural carriers are not required to col-
lect loose coins from rural mail boxes.
Patrons should inclose coins in an
envelope, wrap them securely in paper
or deposit them in a coin-holding re-
ceptacle so they can be easily taken
from boxes, and carriers will be re-
quired to lift such coins and. when
accompanied by mail for dispatch,
attach the requisite stamps.
Carriers who lift coins not so in-
closed, wrapped, or deposited will do
so purely as a matter of accommoda-
tion and not by any direction or re-
quirement of the Department.
Postmasters should give this notice
as much publicity as possible without
causing any expense to the Depart-
ment. _

I intend to work myself, that ia,

have some of the Halbert Honey ir
ons, although most of them are
Cactus Sweet, which is very mi
similar to the Halbert Honey.
It’s hot and dry just now and
are needing rain the worst way
cool things off. Come over to see
in Arkansas and well cut a wat
melon, go fishing, or do most ai
thing devilish. They sure catch 1
fish up in this country.
