Washington today is yitally inter
ested in it's public market. II should
be. and it is perhaps i'm order TO quote
from "A History of the National Capt.
tai" by w. R. Bryan, in which he de.
scribes the early Washington markets.
1t is of interest that Mr.. Bryan was
at one time a member Of the staff OF
The Star. He writes of the markets:
when, in the Fan OF 1906, the tru$-
tees were considering the selection Of
a permanent site for the two schools
an application was made by them to
the city council asking for the use Of

out the country, a s Well as the farm
ers from nearby places. The fathers,
and in many instances the grand
fathers of some of these traders, oc-
cupied the space in which the sons
ana grandsonS do business. one Of
them recalls a former celebrated mem
ber of Congress who insisted upon
doing all the purchasing of the family
food. and shopped with the skill Of a

echoes OF Grants and Lees guns had

tion? Today he is perpleXed about it.
What the citizen of Washington
may not know is this: Center Market
has for scores of years been a magnet
for the American nomad visiting the
city. Thousands of visitors have fol
lowed the sawdust trail between the
meat stalls, the flower stands and
those curious counters on which are
the most tempting of viands.
Presidents and statesmen. famous in
their day and time, have browsed
about the old market place, intrigued
by the charm of it's quaint personali-
ties. The years have not furnished
this indescribable charm, for Center

intendent Of weights, measures and
markets. This money is then deposit
ed by the superintendent with the col
lector of taxes for payment into the
Treasury.
Naturally tho number of farmers
using the market daily varies with the
season. The greatest number appear
at the market Tuesdays and Satur-
days
1t is not unusual for 400 to 500
farmers to go to market daily during
the busy truck growing season, which
so frequently gluts the available facili-
ties that two farmers will occupy the
same space al different hours. Some
of these growers come from farms 80
miles away, necessitating a run of 100
miles for round trip. To supply their
share Of Washington's food, these
farmers. cultivate $50 acres of land,
852 of which are in the District of
Columbia.
Farmers who sell on the market
regularly and who apply for them are
granted annual permits for certain
designated spaces on specific days of
the week, while others who bring their
produce from time to time are as
signed to such space as is available on
the days they come. No farmer is
charged for space except on the day
he actually brings produce to the mar
ket. The total revenue for the Farm
ers Market last year was Sl2 SOB.
All classes of customers patrOniZe
the country marketeers. These include
proprietorS Of grocery stores from
various sections of the city and sub
urbs. who go to market early each
morning to purchase fruit and veg
etables or other country produce for
the day. Hucksters, hotels, restau-
rants, lunch rooms and boarding
houses buy in large quantities and
trade with the growers. No wonder
the farmer is tremendously concerned
about the future of his market.

early years the Western Market had
struggling existence, and as late as
1914 but one stall had been rented the
two previous years and none at all
during that current year. Several
years elapsed before another market
was established, and then, on the first
day of February. 1913, the Capitol Hill
Market wassOpened AS there was no
public ground apparently TO be had in
the desired locality, in or near East
Capitol street. the market building
was erected in the center of East Cap

streets, following in this particular the
course of Congress that gave over to
the use OF the doorkeepers of the two
houses and their families two frame
structures that stood directly in the
line of B street and New Jersey ave-
