The recent rains have given an impetus
to all growing crops in this section.

the early truck is bringing somewhat
better prices than II brought last
year at this time. In spite pf the fact
mat sweet potatoes did not pay the cosf
or cultivation last year. farmers here
nave made Preparations to plant a
larger crop than ever before.
heretofore immense quantities OF COM
mercial fertilizers have been used an
nually by Eastern Shore farmers in
growing potatoes, and II has sometimes
happened. as IL did last year. that the
crops ala not bring enough to pay the
COST OF labor and fertilizers. Adversely
mas taught the Eastern Shore farmers
valuable lesson, and this year they
are not using one-tenth of the coumer-
cial fertilizers they have used i'm former
years. They are learning TO make their
own Fertilizers and in doing this they
are saving money
Inc pine skaters. as the long nine
needles are called here. make "a valuable
lertillzer Tor potatoes. The cattle-pons
and stable enclosures, called pounds"
IN this part Of the world. are filled with
skaters in the fall of the year. and IN
the spring the decomposed mass is hauled
out and spread over the fields and mixed
with the soil by frequent ploughing. A
farm ON the Eastern Shore without an
ample pine forest on IL is not easily sold.
one OF the first questions asked here
when man goes to buy or rent a farm
Is what its resources" are. BY no
sources,Y Is meant the amount OF pine
skaters on the farm.
