A correspondent writing to the New
York Evening Post from the eastern
shore of Maryland tells of the oppor
tunities in that state for profitable
farming, especially if the farmer has
little capital to begin with. In the
western and northern counties the
farmers have always been reason
ably prosperous. The soil there is fer.
tile and is kept fertile by careful till
age. In the tidewater counties on
the western shore, the part of the
state which has been longest under
cultivation, there is good deal of
rich bottom land, but many of the
farms are worn. In any part of the
state, however, according to this cor
respondent, the soil can be made rich
If properly treated. Southern Mary
land lacks farm labor, and its cheap
and accessible farms offer attractive
homes for men with small capital.
There are many farms In this region
which can be bought for less than the
cost Of the houses upon them. The
correspondent says that the mistake
which many Maryland farmers make
is in undertaking to cultivate more
land than they are capable of cultivat-
ing properly with the means at their
command. 1t is as difficult to make
slovenly farming pay in Maryland as
in any other state. Under the pres
ent condition of prices it does not
pay to grow good tobacco. 1t does not
pay to raise 10 bushels of wheat to
the acre, but it does pay to raise 30
bushels. While the price of corn or
hay may be low IL sold as such, the
price is good enough IL these pro-
ducts are sold as beef, pork, poultry.
or butter. Too little attention, the
correspondent says, is given in Mary
land to the raising of stock. He thinks
that there is no reason why Maryland,
which is 50 near the market,
should not be a great stock-raising
state.
