Tobacco And
Other Crops
Looking Fine

Tobacco and other crops in this
section are looking good at this time,
and, if weather conditions continue
favorable in the next several weeks
as they have been SO far, bumper
crops are looked for at harvest time.
Showers have been frequent
enough to provide sufficient moisture
for growing tobacco, and the hot
nights have been conducive to the
rapid development of the crop, which
is a week or two ahead of last year.
Indications are that curing will start
sooner than usual in this section, and
present prospects for a crop of high
quality.
If prices hold to last years levels,
most farmers will have the best in
come in years, unless some sort Of
catastrophe should overtake the crop
before it can be housed.
Comparatively little hail damage
has occurred SO far In scattered in
stances, tobacco has been damaged
by hail, but there has been no gen
cral or widespread storm OF NV; KlnG
to bring loss to growers. Many have
insurance, but this would not COM
penSate for what the crop would
bring on warehouse floors, if the
quality and quantity should turn out
as now Indicated
There is a general feeling of op-
timism over the crop outlook gen
erally.

Dry Cleaner
Act Upheld
By Jurist
Test Case Made of
State Law as Uncon-
stitutional in Case of
j. p. Harris, Local
Cleaner

Judge Walter J. Bone late Friday
in Vance Superior Court held to be
constitutional the act of the 1887
General Assembly and amendments
to the act in 1899 as relating to dry
cleaners in North Carolina. The rul-
ing was made in an appeal of j. P.
Harris, local cleaner, from a lower
court ruling holding him guilty of
violation Of the act by failure to pay
certain fees required. An appeal to
the State Supreme Court was enter
ed and teet of the act will be haG
from that tribunal in the fall.
JUDGE Bone denied motion by
the defendant that the verdict be set
aside. The defendant moved for an
arrest Of judgment on the ground
that the act and the amendments
are in violation of the State and
Federal constitutions.
Judge Bone imposed a fine of $40
and costs Cn the defendant.
So far as is known here, this is
the first ruling of the court on this
act.
Appeal bond was fixed at $50 and
appearance bond was likewise made
the same figure.
Attorneys appearing for Harris
contend the act is an illegal regi-
mentation of business, and will carry
the fight to the State Supreme Cou.
ior a ruling on the constitutionalitv
of the law.

No Weather Records
Are Broken Here

No local weather records have
been broken the past week Of beau
tiful weather, although the high
temperatures came within one de-
gree of the record Of rs made in
1884. The poisoning season is a
week later than that of last year,
too, which on the whole was not as
warm as it has been the past week.
Last year the blooming period for
cots was March Is to 10 while this
year it was from the 81 to date.
Last year the last frost date was
April 2 for this district with the
records showing exactly one month
later for the Prosser district. An
other interesting item concerning
the weather is the fact that the
Benton City district beats Kenne-
wick by day for almost every
change we have, wet or dry, wind
or calm.
Temperatures above 70 have been
made all this week, with the rec
ords since last Thursday being as
fOllOutS.
