Money in Truck Farming.

The Still Pond Farmers Club of Kent
County, Md, is considering the substitu-
ton Of trucking and the growing of small
fruits in the place of peach culture. A
composed of Thomas J. Shallcross, james
S. Harris and w. D. Pennington, was re-
Gently sent to investigate profits of PENN
sylvania truckers near Philadelph ia. The
committee returned few days ago. 1t re-
ports that from one farm of eighty acres
forty Of which are in truck. the owners sell
annually goods for about $4,000. Another
farm of twenty acres pays its owner about
$1,000. Another trucker from six acres
annually balances balances his accounts:
with $1,000 in pocket. A Mr.. Satterthwait
from ninety acres sells vegetables and
fruits aggregating from $4,000 to $40 900
each year.
The members of the committee are en-
thusiastic and the subject of trucking will
be fully discussed at the next meeting of
the club. Mr.. w. /. Walker, of Baltimore
who owns some of the finest real estate on
on the Eastern shore has decided to try
trucking and has contracted with Baltimore
City Gamers to use lima beans, corn, toma-
toes, string beans and other vegetables to
be raised on more than two hundred ACRES
of his best land.

Points for Tomato Growers,

1t has been demonstrated by scientific
experiment that the free development of a
crop depends TO large extent upon the
presence in the soil of asufficient amount
and proportion of the plant food elements
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash, lime,
etc., and that the size of the crop is only
limited by changes in climate and seasons
conditions, and even that the influence Of
any unfavorable conditions are greatly
lessened when the proper amounts and
kinds of plant kod are present. Know
ing the magnitude of the tomato growing
industry in this State, its former value to
the farmers, and the present feeling
among some farmers that it is growing less
profitable. experiments were instituted by
the station in 1886 to determine whether
something could not be learned in regard
to the wants of the liant, and also
whether the crops could not be profitably
increased.
The experiments lave taught some val
liable lessons. among which are first, that
nitrate Of soda is a valuable fertilizer fl r
tomatoes, increasing the cropin a remarka-
BILE manner; and second, that the best eff
feet is secured when tie nitrate is used in
connection with a liberal supply in the soil
of the mineral elements, phosphoric acid
and potash. In the experiment in 1889 the
yield was increased from 10 to 16 tons per
acre, and in 1850 on the same field, in
which the previous treatment had been
the same, from 13 to 20 tons per acre. The

DOwNIN SUSSEX.

The Georgetown Republican has the
following about their Levy Court: The
disgraceful act Of the Levy Court last week
in refusing to hear the application for as
sessment, should open the eyes of all good
citizens to present conditions of our assess
ment and election laws. 1t should not be
possible for any party being in power to
thus take an advantage of the minority
and thus be enabled to perpetuate that
power.
Why is it necessary that any voter
should be compelled to be assessed as
qualification to voter What are the regis
trations laws for but to protect the purity
of the ballot and prevent any possibility of
fraud or illegal voting? Why was it neces-
sary that the old delinquent law should be
re-enacted? The cry of fraud and of pad
ded assessment is merely an attempt to
hide their crime by the cry of "stop thief"
Talk is cheap" and the people of Sessex
county have so well learned this lesson
that they propose to judge the respective
parties by their acts and not by their words
Ii their cry Of fraud hassany foundation
ct them act and not cry like scared
child before 1t is hnrt. The Levy Coourt
passed resolution requiring that the lists
of applicants for assessment be filled be-
fore the day set for their hearing. twas
done. Why was it required? Because the
Democratic Levy Court desired to exam
inc the list of applicants to ascertain if
there appeared thereon the name of any
man who was not entitled to be assessed.
What was the result of that examination?
They ajourned early Thursday morning
two hours before their customary hour of
meeting, without hearing one applicant,
Were they afraid to give these men their
hearing? should any man, no matter what |
his condition, be condemned without
hearing?

PEACHES.

Opinions of Some Of the Peninsula
Papers
Nineteen of the peach buds are dead.
This is not pleasant announcement for US
10 make, but it is often the case that news
paper men have things to do and things to
say that are unpleasant to them personally
The thermometer went 70 20ao Monday
night, froze again on Tuesday night on
Wednesday and Thursday night. Two
third of the buds were in bloom and one
third just ready TO burst forth in all their
beauty of color and aroma, when the rain
came during the day on Easter Sunday.

tenth of crop may yet be harvested, and
while tenth of crop will probably bring
as much money to the grower as full crop,
those of the laboring classes who handle
the fruit will lose the opportunity of max
ing the money they usually make when
full crop is our fortune This is good time
for farmers to think of something else to
put upon their land for this years surplus
proit.-Milford News Advertiser.
There is some difference of opinion. of
course, but the substance of the whole is
about this: That where the blooms were
full the peach germs are injured, but that
there were plenty unopened buds on a !
varieties to yet give good crop. The dan
ger however, is not passed. Nearly three
months of peril is yet in the path OF the
peach as the best authorities agree that it
is not safe before the 25th of June. A
number of those interviewed give this very
sensible advice as the result of past ex-
perience: Put no trust in peaches-if not
full killed the winter cold may destroy the
wood; if they escape the winter then the
spring frosts too often nip the germ; but
should they 60 unscathed through ice and
snow, and frost and storm, and yield big |
crop, then it is worse than failure, as we
have only labor for our pains, for we get |
nothing for the fruit. So it is best not to
worry about the crop at all. A very small |
crop is better than big one every time
Chesterloa0m (Afd) Ne,cs.
Hon. Paynter Frame, who is an intelligent
and thoroughly practical fruit grower,
kindly gave US a report of the examination |
he had made of the destruction done to |
fruit by the late severe weather: He finds |
that the early fruit still has plenty of live
buds, those in bloom all being killed. but
the dormant buds are still alive, aud he
thinks that there are dormant buds enough |
left to produce probably one-fourth of
crop. The yellow fruit is very badly in
jured. He says that the freeze and frost of
Wednesday morning was what did the
damage.-Susser Journal.
