I'm sure that will be tempting in two or three years. But since he is poised to be the family beast of burden (really, he's gonna be a giant), I don't think we want to cost him any growth.
A farmer had a field of watermelons. People would sneak into the field at night and steal the watermelons. The upset the farmer. Then he had an idea. He posted a sign on the edge of the field that read:
"One of these watermelons has been poisoned"
The sign seemed to work beautifully -- for a couple of days, no watermelons disappeared. Until one day, the farmer noticed someone had added another sign, next to his. The new sign read:
"Now there are two!"
And no, I don't know how the farmer was irrigating his watermelon field.

Watermelons? Where? Sac Valley? Probably furrows. I haven't seen overhead methods on melons; they get a wilt.
