truck. one must search far and wide to
find anyone who can begin hoeing earlier
or gather crop later and get more mon
ey for the crop when it is in market than
the farmer living in greater New York.
And lest this seem to he vain glorious
let the fact be Cited that these farmers
have land worth 81, 900 an acre, but are
nevertheless able to pay taxes, earn in
terest, live well, and lend money on
Western mortgages, all out of their gar
den truck.
More interesting still is the farm land
under water. Here the farmers plant
oysters bought in Connecticut and
brought to their farms in tiny sloops and
sohooners. One hundred dollars an acre
is fair ann ual yield of these under
water farms, and the owners do not
have to work too hard to get it, either
From the year 1913 to the year 1896 ia
far cry. The site of the greater New
York was in 1913 first settled by the
thrifty Dutch. 1t was wilderness that
echoed only to the howl of the wild beast
and the shout of the aborigines, but
as Henry Hudson said, it was ''the
handsomest and most pleasant country
that man can behold. ~ In the 2S3 years
that have rassed the quaint little homes
that the Dntoh erected with brick and
tiles brought from the old country have
been replaced with structures that tower
twenty times higher In air, and are built
of steel dug from the hills of the new
country. The queer old ships with but
two or three sails to the mast and q cargo
capacity of eihundred tons or sc, ships that
required months for passage across the
western ocean. have been replaced with
steamers that could carry Hudson's ship
on dock and 1000 tons of cargo besides
ships that can cross the ocean in days
where the old ships sometimes required
months. The handful of Dutch traders,
in fear of their lives from assaults of i'll
ueed wild men, have increased to city
of 3. 600, 900 souls living in security under
tue flag of freedom in "a mart of nations
the browning city, whose mer-
chants are princes, whose traffickers are
the honorable of the earth"
