the seventh snow Of the winter cover
cd most Of the state yesterday and
last night and made it necessary for
some 5000 road maintenance en-
ployes to turn their attention to get
ting the snow off the highways, Chief
Highway Engineer w. Vance Baise
said today While this snow is not as
deep as previous SHOWS and is melting
more rapidly, it is going to delay still
further the drying out Of the secon-
dairy sand clay and dirt roads which
have suffered the most from snow,
rain and freezing temperatures this
winter, Baise said.
More Damage Done.
This snow made the roads very
slick yesterday and last night, since
it formed a sort of a slick mush on
the surface in those sections where
the temperature was above freezing"
Baise said. "Then when it turned cold
CT last night and froze, the roads were
very slick and were still slick today
until it started to melt again. But we
are not expecting this snow to stay
on long or to tie UP traffic as have
the last two or three previous SHOWS.
But this snow is doing lots of damage
to the surface treated roads, which
have not yet dried out enough for re-
pair work to be begun, likewise to the
clay and dirt roads, which are still
rivers Of mud and which We cannot
repair until they dry out There just
amt no Justice for the highway de-
partment in the weather this winter"
The snow yesterday and last night
extended almost over the entire State,
with the exception of the coastal plain
section, where it rained, Baise said.
Maintenance crews worked all day
yesterday and again last night in
keeping all the hard surfaced roads
clear so that no snow is left on these
roads today, although there are many

foresees an abrupt about-face
and a retreat to conditions OF
1881 and 1892 unless a crimp is

A 900 600, 000-pound crop is possible

NAV be produced by tobacco farmers
in 1886 unless cooperative control

ing TO experts, the market demand
will not exceed 64O,0OO.OOO pounds.
The immense surplus possible will

Mr.. Floyd estimates.
II am being optimistic when l say

are a great many who are positive
the price will not get above 10 cents
Control Will Sustain Prices.
However. if the manufacturers
knew that Il control program would

prices would probably range from Is
to 20 cents, much as they were in 1885.
In case no restrictions are placed
on tobacco raising this year, about 25

would plant all of the tobacco posi-
bic. The other 70 to rs percent, Mr..

their crop down to the limits set UNI

help to reduce the production of to-

it will bring a satisfactory price. it
