Profits of Market Gardens.

The disposition, common in the South, to
undervalue WORKOUT lands, may be rectifled
by taking a lesson from the gardeners in the
country surrounding Norfolk and Petersburg.
The soil which had been apparently exhausted
by repetition of the same crops, and which
yielded tobacco at ten or fifteen dollars hun
dred pounds, or wheat at ninety cents a
bushel, now cultivated for vegetable purposes,
gives clear profit of one hundred and five
dollars per acre. There are examples of even
a greater return-ona section of only twenty
one acres yielding in gross 5000, netting
%, 500, or $l75 per acre. Another of twenty
five acres, $1,000 net, over $4,000, or 1920 per
acre.
There is a vast amount of land in our State,
now regarded as worthless, which, by the reno
waiting processes of scientific agriculture, and,
above all, by personal energy and attention,
can be rendered highly valuable In this and
the adjoining counties, with their great water
facilities for transportation to the Northern
markets, the employment of land for garden
ing purposes would prove highly remunerative.
Where farms lie contiguous to, or within a
short distance of, navigable streams, no crops
that can be raised will pay as well as yegeta-
bles. We see in the experience of the Norfolk
and Petersburg neighborhoods what can be
done with even WORKOUT lands. Their pro-
auctions command ready sale in the North
ern markets, being equal in quality to any that
can be raised elsewhere, and having the ad-
vantage over gardens farther north Of an
earlier Spring, and of those farther south of
greater nsarness to the markets, being within
days sail Of the principal Northern cities.
