In recent years there have been great forward strides by the Mount Perry Scientific Community. One of the greatest of these strides has been in the agricultural field, with the long awaited announcement of the freeze dried watermelon. Doctor Eye Shrinkum, has taken a three foot long Charleston Grey Watermelon and freeze dried it to the size of a common Black Eyed Pea.

This news is heralded as the greatest advancement in the agricultural field since the news horse manure was good for growing mushrooms. Now a farmer with a field of ten-thousand watermelons can harvest his crop, freeze dry them and ship the whole field of watermelons in a 55 pound bag.

As it’s freeze dried the watermelon develops a hard skin and is impervious to any kind of damage until it is re-hydrated by the ultimate consumer. The consumer needs only to place the pea sized watermelon in a bucket of water and stand back. On contact with water the pea sized watermelon is INSTANTLY re-hydrated back to its size at harvest having lost nothing of its field ripened sweetness or texture.

Once dehydrated, the watermelon could be kept in storage indefinitely without losing any of it’s taste or texture. A farmer could now grow a ten year supply of watermelons and simply keep it in a bag in a dry place taking, out and shipping only what was needed to satisfy the market and maintain the price.

This method of shipping and dehydration has resulted in tremendous savings to the consumer as it is now possible to ship watermelon at a fraction of the original cost and even a private citizen can take a dehydrated watermelon and place it in a letter to a friend in, let’s say Alaska and know their friend need only add water in order to enjoy this formally Southern treat.

To date, there has been only one possible problem reported. It seems that Yodar Hoopelhoffer, the Mount Perry town idiot, decided he wanted to watch the dehydrated watermelon re-hydrate. He dropped the pea sized watermelon into the bucket of water and leaned close to watch it expand. The re-hydration was so rapid the watermelon flew up out of the bucket striking Yodar full in the face. He should be out of the ICU ward shortly after reconstructive surgery is completed to restore his nose to its original size and length.

This one minor problem connected with such a radical scientific advancement was quickly overlooked as the first crop to be grown completely for the Dehydrated Watermelon Project was ready to be planted. The entire citizenry of Mount Perry, Florida, turned out to wish the farmers well in their efforts.

After all if the farmers were successful they would have more money to spend in the town and this would have a positive effect of the gross product and income of every citizen in Mount Perry. It was going to be good for all.
