The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Notes from a Maryland Garden 
For the first time iu years my garden 
is encumbered with weeds and crab grass. 
With rain daily it has simply been out 
of our power to keep it clean. The late 
potatoes made a slim erect growth of 
tops and promised very little. But the 
past few days have been sunny and there 
is coming a change in the growth, which 
looked just like that of plants drawn up 
in shade. And it was really the lack of 
sunlight. 
We had the last of the Nanticoke 
blackberries September 14. Now comes 
the task of getting the fruited canes out. 
One who has never handled this black¬ 
berry cannot realize the fierceness of its 
armed canes and the rankness of its new 
canes. The Irish potatoes have at least 
a month to grow and the crop may be 
much better than feared. A week ago 
I gave mine a fresh application of fertil¬ 
iser. as I argued that the original appli¬ 
cation had probably been washed away 
in the weeks of constant rain. As I 
left part of them without this fresh dress¬ 
ing I hope to see what the effect is. Egg 
plants, which grew very large, made very 
few fruits during July and August, hut 
are doing better now that sunshine has 
come. 
The odor of rotting tomatoes pervades 
all the roads in every direction and the 
loss to the farmers is pitiful, for in this 
section every farmer usually plants a 
field iu tomatoes. A correspondent iu 
Mississippi who is interested in gardening, 
thinks that he has got a perfectly new 
species of spinach. He says that the 
leaves are just like other spinach and that 
the plant was found in a patch of spinach. 
But it runs all over the ground making a 
great mass all Summer aud seeds iu the 
late Fall. I thought that he had the so- 
called New Zealand spinach, but he says' 
that he has grown that aud discarded it. 
A true spinach that we grow all Summer 
without seeding will be valuable. I turned 
the letter over to a prominent seed man 
who will investigate the find. My cor¬ 
respondent says that his plants came 
from suckers of the original plant. A 
North Carolina correspondent writes: 
“Why is it that we cannot grow wheat 
as we did even 20 years ago, though well 
fertilized?” That last sentence tells the 
tale. I have been familiar with the sec¬ 
tion where this farmer lives and know 
that the laud is a natural wheat soil up 
out of the cotton section. But for the past 
20 or more years the farmers there have 
been depending on commercial fertilizers 
for every crop they grow. They have 
burnt out the humus iu their soil. More 
fertilizer will not cure it. for the farmers 
have neglected to maintain the humus iu 
the soil, and the soil dries out quiekh 
and moisture is not retained for the solu¬ 
tion of the fertilizers and they are not 
properly dissolved, aud hence do not give 
the result needed. 
A writer in a recent issue of the 
Country Gentleman, attributes all the 
great advance in agriculture iu North 
Carolina to the use of commercial fertil¬ 
izers. The use of fertilizers certainly in¬ 
creases the production temporarily, but 
the increase in North Carolina has come 
from the increased interest in the legumes 
and their use in building up the soil aud 
rendering the use of the fertilizer more 
effective. The large class of farmer there 
who annually crowd into their August 
convention at the college and are filling 
the college courses in agriculture with 
their sons, have in the last 30 years grown 
into men who use their brains iu farming. 
Of the cow pea alone there are fully 200 
acres now grown where there was one 
acre 30 years ago when I began the fight 
for peas and clover and hammered at it all 
over the State at institutes aud through 
the farm press. It is better farming with 
the legumes that has sent North Carolina 
to the front and has made her corn crop 
average ahead of Kansas, and the men 
who have during these years been depend¬ 
ing ou fertilizers alone to make even 
crop grown, do not get the wheat or any 
other crop they grow as they did 20 or 
30 years ago. But the young men who 
are crowding into the State College to 
study agriculture are being more and 
more a potent factor iu pushing the old 
North State to the front, w. F. massey.
