  Washington Parish watermelon growers T. C. Arthur, center, and his son Thomas Arthur, at right, share a slice of their prized watermelon crop with LSU AgCenter county agent Henry Harrison.
  ...
  Harrison said there will be plenty of delicious, sweet Washington Parish melons to go around this summer despite the extremely dry conditions.
  ...
  "Despite the lack of rain during most of the growing season, we still have a pretty good-looking crop of melons," said LSU AgCenter county agent Henry Harrison, who works in Washington Parish - where the largest number of the state's watermelon growers are located.
  ...
  Harrison, like LSU AgCenter county agents and specialists across the state, is charged with helping producers in his area grow a high quality, more abundant crop.
  
  He said there a number of factors involved in producing what Washington Parish growers boast to be the best tasting watermelons anywhere.And you would be hard-pressed to find any two growers who use exactly the same growing techniques, Harrison said.
  
  Two of the farmers Harrison works closely with are Washington Parish watermelon growers T.C. Arthur and his son Thomas Arthur.
  ...
  Harrison says this father-and-son team ranks among the best growers in the parish and maybe the state.
  
  "Mr. T.C., who is in his 70s, and his son are growing about 30 acres of watermelons, and they do all of the work themselves," Harrison said.

  Washington Parish grower T.C. Arthur, at right, talks about some of his techniques with his son Thomas Arthur, center, and LSU AgCenter county agent Henry Harrison.
  ...
  Harrison said the reason the Arthurs' melons are always of the highest quality is attributed to the experience of the grower.Although there are many ways to grow watermelons - on plastic or on the ground, with irrigation or without irrigation, just to name a couple of variations - it's the way growers use their experience to manipulate those variables that makes a difference, according to Harrison and the Arthurs.
