Notes from a Maryland Garden 
The mild January weather has stirred 
up the melon growers, and now the fields 
are all plowed, the hills marked out and 
the manure in them. Though the New 
York stable manure has gone up to near 
$o.50 a ton. they still buy it. assuming 
that the products will carry a similar in¬ 
crease in price. 
I am getting letters from all over the 
South asking if I would advise Southern 
farmers to plant early Irish potatoes this 
j year for the Northern market. My reply 
! to all is that 1 never advise a farmer in 
the South to speculate in truck crops for 
the Northern markets. As a rule such 
farmers produce a crop inferior in size 
and quality to those <if the regular truck¬ 
ers. They have to pay, in isolated sec¬ 
tions, more for barrels and covers. They 
have to pay more freight and have to de¬ 
pend on the commission merchants, who, 
even if reliable, charge 10 per cent com¬ 
mission. The result is that those farm¬ 
ers seldom make anything in the specula¬ 
tion. Every farmer should grow an 
abundance of vegetables of all sorts, and 
usually any surplus can he disposed of 
in the home market. But the man in the 
South who wished to go into growing 
early vegetables for the markets North 
should go into a section where this in¬ 
dustry is general, and where there are 
selling exchanges that handle the pro¬ 
duce. and charge hut half what the com¬ 
mission men in the cities charge, and 
then divide half of the surplus among the 
shippers at the close of the season. 
Exchanges like the Eastern Shore Vir¬ 
ginia Produce Exchange seldom consign 
anything to merchants North. They get 
cash orders for carloads from almost 
every town North and in Canada, and the 
produce is gold before the car leaves the 
station. The chances are that the market 
will he pretty well cleared of old potatoes 
before the early crop from the South 
comes in. Having clear market the price 
should be fair, and those in the district of 
a selling exchange should do fairly well. 
But the isolated farmer would better keep 
out. Better be a good farmer than a 
speculator, for planting some kind of a 
truck crop by a general farmer is pure 
speculation. Good farming is better than 
poor trucking, and a man should be either 
a trucker or a farmer. They do not mix 
well. 
In this section there will be a great 
increase in the area devoted to sweet po¬ 
tatoes. The crop last year was good and 
the price has been wonderfully good 
through the Fall and Winter. Here the 
sweet potato crop is uniformly more prof¬ 
itable than the early Irish potato crop. 
Having hardly any competition north of 
South Jersey, there is never as great iluc- 
tuation with this crop as with the Irish 
potato crop, and hence our growers leave 
the early Irish potato crop very largely 
to the two Virginia counties just south 
of us, where the Irish potato crop sur¬ 
passes in area the sweet potato crop, and 
even there the growers got their fingers 
burnt so last Spring that they are very 
cautions about the Irish potato crop this 
Spring. 
This is the last of January, and our 
extra early peas should have been sown, 
and we hope to get them in the first week 
in February. The sweet pea* went in. 10 
days ago. Our beautiful Winter is still 
with us. It reminds me of an old Scotch 
florist I knew years ago. He was a 
weather prophet, and lie could recite 
Burns’ poetry n’l through. He was born 
at Abbotsford, bis father being gardener 
to Sir Walter Scott, and Sir Walter’s 
sister took a fancy to the boy and educat¬ 
ed him fairly well. He said that he 
could always predict the character of the 
Winter on the *21st day of December, for 
where the direction of the wind was that 
day would be the prevailing wind of the 
Winter. Last. December the wind was 
southeast here, and we have had it there 
pretty often with rain. Up North it was 
probably in some other direction, for a 
letter from Vermont tells me that they 
had 20 degrees below zero the day the let¬ 
ter was written. w. F. massey.
