NORFOLK. VA. July l6.-The destIuc-

IN the summer almost totally destroyed
growing crops and together with the
low rices which have existed IN North
ern markets by the time truck from
this section reached them. have about
sWamped the truckers. and there are
few If any who have been able
TO pull through without losses.
This is the third season the farmers
have been in the soup, ard the reality
has now dawnedson them that they are
not far enough South to make truck
farming pay. With the increased rail-
road facilities. which have steadily been
decreasing the time consumed between
northern and southern markets, North
and South Carolina are able 10 put their
produce in the North almost as quickly
as the Norfolk truckers. and as the
vegetables OF the former are "a
week or ten days earlier in maturing
than those in this section. the result is
that the bottom has been knocked ont
