Notes from a Maryland Garden 
The Census Bureau has announced 
that the two Eastern Shore counties of 
Virginia, Aoeomae and Northampton, are 
the wealthiest counties of their size in 
the United States. This has been done 
by potatoes and push, business organi¬ 
zation and business energy and capacity 
on the part of the managers. These two 
counties have always been famous for 
sweet potatoes. In the old flays, before 
steamboats and railroads had reached 
them, they shipped their sweet potatoes 
to Baltimore in bulk in sailing vessels. 
They have learned better now.. But 
oven after the railroad reached them they 
did not prosper till they were wise enough 
to organize a selliug and distributing ex¬ 
change, which has been the most success¬ 
ful organization of the kind iii the United 
States. Irish potatoes have largely ex¬ 
ceeded in area the old sweet potato crop, 
though the sweets are by no means neg¬ 
lected. 
They do not rush their produce into 
the great Eastern cities, hut have dealers 
who handle their stuff in every town 
North which can take a carload or more 
at a time. They were wise enough in 
the beginning to pay a liberal salary to 
a manager of experience and capacity in¬ 
stead of getting a low-priced man, and 
they have never bad reason to regret it, 
and they pay for effective work in every 
department of the business. Every sea¬ 
son at lhe elose the profits, except enough 
cash to mu another season, are distri¬ 
buted to the stockholders in proportion 
to their shipment. Anyone can he a 
stockholder by buying a share of stock at 
$5, and they keep the stock from becom¬ 
ing speculative. The organization ships 
annually over $10,000,000 worth of pro¬ 
duce. They keep the price of stock down, 
but cannot keep down the price of real 
estate. Every acre that comes into mar¬ 
ket is grabbed at once, and an outsider 
would find it very difficult to buy land 
there. 
What interested me in Northampton 
was the absolutely clean cultivation and 
the inevitable green Winter cover on the 
land. Being truck farmers, they keep 
only one or two family cows, and hence 
have small pastures. But they are real 
pastures, with heavy sod of grass and 
Alsike clover and no weeds. I did not see 
a daisy in a pasture in lower Northamp¬ 
ton. In fact, one of the company re¬ 
marked that if they even wanted any 
weeds they would have to import the seed. 
It is tin* finest instance of the value of 
well-managed business organization in 
soil culture and marketing.

been hoed four times, 
had not yet fallen over 
stakes, hunted up enough blade: 
for one row. and waited for a rain, as 
the ground was too hard to drive the 
stakes, June 10 the middle row was 
staked. The first week after staking was 
hot and dry. the temperature ranging 
around 1)0 degrees every day. The second 
week was showery, hut so hot that rain 
falling in the morning was all gone by 
evening. The first good rain we had fell 
the niffht of Juno 124. Then more hot* 
dry, windy weather. No rain from June 
-4 till July 15. when we had a good soak¬ 
ing rain, lasting nhout an hour. This 
came too late to help the potatoes. The 
vines dried up, looking as though they 
were ripe. So I .lug the “crop" Jnlv 31, 
nnd from the 145-foot row took exactly 
one pound of little potatoes, Not one 
potato was larger than an egg The 
1'f‘tato crop in this section was small this 
season, however, and as I believe the 
weather is responsible shall try staking 
some again this year. clara Gordon.
