Repeats Visit Saturday.
Commissioner Melvin G. Hazen post
poned his decision in the controversy
over the manner in which trucks and
private cars may be parked at the
market at Twenty-flrst and K streets
NV. after he had made q personal
inspection this morning of conditions
there.
He announced he would make an
other inspection Saturday, when the
farmers again will be permitted to
park at a 90-degree angle to the curb,
in order to get a better test Of the sit
uation.
Mr.. Hazen found today there were 9
farmers trucks and II private cars
parked head in" on the K street side
of the market, and apparently there
was plenty Of room for the farmers if
they were parked parallel to the curb,
as provided by official signs posted
there few days ago.
However, market officials told the
Commissioner business today was light
and did not offer q fair test, and Mr..
Hazen decided to make another in
spection Saturday. He said he had
been advised ~ trucks in all could be
accommodated on the K street side
under the parallel order.

Loss Placed
AbOutFOurth
ForTobacco
Recent Rains Did
Most of Damage;
Fairly Good Crop
as Curing Ends

Curing of the 1897 crop of tobacco
in this section was virtually finished
this week, according to growers who
were in town today on business, and
that portion of the yield that was
saved has turned out a fair quality of
leaf.
It is estimated by growers and Other
observers of the crop, however, that
from 20 to 30 percent of the expected
yield has been destroyed by unfavor-
able weather conditions since plant
ing time, and most of it came about
after and as result of the extended
rainy season about two weeks ago.
Many thousands of dollars worth Of
tobacco has been lost and abandoned
because of damage resulting from the
long rainy season.
Had there been sufficient barns for
curing and enough labor to do the
job, much OF the crop that was lost
could have been saved. 1t all seemed
to ripen at about the same time, but
because growers could not harvest
and cure it fast enough, 4 great deal
of choice leaf went to waste. One
grower said more barns were put in
to service than in years in an effort
to save as much of the crop as pos
ST.. le Some that had not been fired IN
nearly a decade were rugged up III
an effort to salvage as much OF the
crop as possible from the effects of
the disastrous rain.
While some scattered fields remain
to be harvested in the next week, viz
tually the last of the crop was taken
in during the past week and that has
been cured out or will be in a day or
two, according to growers.
But for the damage caused by the
rain. Vance county would have had
a crop of tobacco ranking with the
best in quality in recent years, it is
estimated.
