HEATHsvILLE, VA. October 17.-
The tomato crop is now about gathered.
Most of the factories. although they have
not yet shut down, have discharged most
of their hands. The tomato crop this
year is almost failure The early toma-
t. growers were so disappointed at the
failure Of their crop that very feW OF
them will attempt to raise an early crop
next year. The early tomatoes were dig
tered up by the sun just as they were
ripening, and consequently they prougnt
low prices in the markets. In tact, INC
farmers had to stop shipping them anu
carry them to the factories.
Tho late crop, although 1t did not turn
out very we'll, was moro Of a success than
the early crop. Some Of the most prom
inent tomato growers of this section claim
that their crops did not turn out nall as
we'll this year as they did last year. YET,
even at this rate. there Is money IN inc
tomato crop. Many hundreds OF acres
Of tomatoes have been cultivated IN tho

only drawback being the scarcl.y OF Ia

the gale during the past week because the
farmers could not get help. The largest
crop of peas has been raised this year
that has ever been raised In the North
