POTATO MARKET STEADY; YIELD IS VERY SHORT Favorable Prices Offset ' Largely by Partial Fail (ire i of Crop; Growers Expect1 Little Profit PACK IS BEST EVER Progressive Growers Reap ing Rewards of Inspec tion, Better Barrels, and j ^ Market News Reports Encouragingly favorably priedu J ars being received this week by | Paaauotsnk County growers for their early potatoes. quotations at tba loading points here ranging ? from $5 to $5.15 a barrel to thoj growers. The market this year' has reversed ita ususl course, hav Ing gone upward Instead of down ward since the beginning of ship ment from this county last week,! prices having dropped as low as ' f 4 a barrel under ^fessure of' heaty movements from South i Carolina. About one-third of the ! local cropr has moved already, in ' the opinion of dealers and others ! in close touch with the situation. | ? Aa usual, however, there Is a "fly in the ointment." This time H la In the fact that the yield is very poor, due to dry and other wise unfavorable weather during the growing season. The crop is estimated at not more than 75 per cent normal, and leading dealers aay It Is exceedingly doubtful whether the majority of the grow *rn will make a profit, even with the excellent prices. ^ Although the market Is encour agingly steady now. the growers and others here are awaiting with Some trepidation the movement of the Eeaatern Shore crop. This, too. is reported to be very short, and In the apparent III luck of the Vtrginia growers, those In this territory see a ray of hope for themselves. The high prices this week are attributed to . several factors, among which are the cleaning up of the South Carolina crop, the un usually good grading and packing Qwaintalned here this season, and PJfoe relatively short yield. Reports from the Eastern Shore indicate that the growers there will rush their crop to the mar ket as rapidly aa practicable, !n order to escape the ravages of the potato tuber moth, which bores IIOlH lBI*OtIgfi~n?e~raler potatoes, and renders them unfit for eating. It la feared here that this prospec tive heavy movement will depress the market, with consequent dis advantage to local growers. For the first time In the history .of this section, three to five car loads of potatoes are being export ed daily direct to Cuba, through a Mrge Norfolk forwarding concern. /The extensive purchases of this wlrm hare are declared to result from tUe excellent quality of the pack this seaaoo. Aa a safeguard against improp er grading, a staff of Federal In spectors Is at work here now. and is passing upon Juat sbout 90 per cent of tho shipments. Of those iaspeeted, they report that at least M per eent are grading U. 8. No. 1. CThla grading Is declared to be a highly Important factor In the atSsdiness which the market hss attained. The Oovcrnment Inspection ser- i tics was launched last year through the efforts of the Elisa beth City Chamber of Commerce, , and la being csrrled on on a de- 1 cldedly larger scale this year. It, proved Instantly popular with both buyers and growers. From ! to 30 graders will be In the field here by the latter part of the week. It Is announced. In addi- J jftlon. the growera have improved 1 f their pack materially by using ' Istave Instead of siat barrels, and Hf discarding the old, falsely eco nomical practice of making their i barrel covers by cutting up soiled burlap aacka. Clean, fresh covers 1 are being used almost exclusively. For the Inspection service, the graders are paid 94 s csr. or sbout two cents a barrel, figuring the average carload at 100 barrels. Paaquotank County's Irish pota to ablpments will reach their peak during the present week. In the opinion of W. O. Lensen. market news represents 1 1 ve of the Feder si Department of Agriculture, who has been lit close touch with ih? situation since the crop began moving last week Currituck shipments already are declining measurably, he says Msrket news reports, gathered bf wire and by actual obaervatlon of msrket snd crop conditions, ar" being mslled dally free of charge from this city to all who request them; and t hits service Is declared to have proved Ita worth many ttmea over.

Heading the group from here will be State Senator I'. H. Williams. ' North Carolina vice president of the aaaociatlon; C. R. Pugh, a meinher of the advisory board; Secretary R. C.

Congress from the Second North Carolina District, and Mayor Wal ter H Blair, of Wilmington, who will welcome the aaaociatlon. Honorary vice presidents of the association Include Governor Mc I>-an. of North Carolina, and ex Governor E. Lee Trinkle, of Vlr-i glnla. Special Interest attaches to the i development of the Atlantic Coastal Highway In Northeastern Carolina and Tidewater Virginia through several projects now un- j der way in this territory which, when completed, are expected to [ bring a heavily increased tide of motor traffic through the sea- i board districts of the two states. The most Important of these is the Chowan Bridge, half million dol lar structure some four miles long, to span the lower Chowan River near Edenton. and thereby complete the linking of the North eastern section with the remain der of North Carolina. The bridge la to be finished early next year. North Carolina also is building a 16-foot concrete highway from the terminus of Virginia's macad am road to South Mills, leaving only a gap of about two miles of dirt road on the George Washing ! 4on Highway from Norfolk to Ed enton. This gap Is newly con structed dirt road, and Is being left to settle. The George Wash ington Highway Is a segment In i the Atlantic Coastal Highway. I In Virginia, funds have been al located for the widening of the ( macadam road from Deep Creek to the terminus of the concrete highway Into Portsmouth. This road, which is very narrow at present, Is to be widened to 60 foet. and several sharp curves are to be modified. On the alternative Atlantic Coastal Highway route from Ell* abeth City to Norfolk, running via Moyoek and Great Bridge, North Carolina Is hulldlna a 16-foot concrete highway from this city toj Sllgo, In Currituck County, andj has arranged to borrow funds' from Currituck to continue It from Sllgo to the Virginia line. There It will connect with Improved roads running to the Hampton Rosds cities. BLIND VETERANS IN VANGUARD OF PARADE Atlanta, June 22. ?

Hit- k? TU* *?*??*?> Chicago, Juno 22. ? This Ku charlstlc Congrpiui is the most amazing demon At radon of relig ious bollrf ever staged. The word staged naturally comes to mind for In the dramatic setting of the stated events, in the panoply and pageantry of the processions and the glittering splendor of the Ca thedral there seems 10 he always present the master hand of a Be lasco. Chicago is s strange mixture of medievallty and modernity. At one moment the Cardinal* and the high prelates are enthroned in alnioKt barbaric splendor and sur rounded by the ritualistic mysti cism of the centuries. The next thing they are being whirled away In high powered motor cam. with screaming sirens warning all traf fic out of their way. The statistics of the congress are staggering. One loses all sense of comparison or perspec tive when told of the presence of 12 cardinals, three apostolic dele gates. 57 archbishops. 257 blab ops, three prefects apostolic, 17 mltered abbots, four superiors general of monastic orders. 500 monsignorl and priests without number. Estlmafes of the lay attendance at the Congress r??ge all the way from 500,000 to 11,000,000. The former figure probably is more nearly correct. But even so the Congress takes on proportions which make It stand out as one of the greatest pilgrimages of all time.
