MARYLAND ATTRACTIONS.

Maryland is not n densely settled
state. When the population of Bal
timore city and the large towns is de-
Quoted from the whole the average to
the square mile is greatly reduced,
There is undOubtly much room left
for energy and capital to accomplish
notable results in agricultural and
horticultural development, and the
recently issued report of the Mary
land Bureau of immigration indicates
that good work has been done by that
department during the past year, in
bringing outside capital and enter
prise into touch with Maryland OPP
portunity.
The American has taken occasion
from time to time to point out how
Astounding these opportunities are,
especially the opportunities for capt.
tai and enterprise to engage profita-
bly, in some branch of farming. In
one of the speeches by a practical
horticulturist, made last week at the
meeting of the Maryland Horticulture
al Society, the fact was dwelt upon
that Maryland is Just as well adapted
to apple growing as any state in the
Union. The fame of the MARYLAND
peach is world wide, and the Mary
land strawberry in its season, travel
North all the way the Boston and
West all the way to Chicago. The
pear, the cherry and the plum also
thrive luXuriantly.
But the agricultural capabilities of
Maryland are wonderfully diversified.
Messages have come during the pres
ent year, not from one county, but
from many counties, telling of 100
bushels to the acre corn yields. That
means, at present prices, something
like $50 gross returns to the acre, or
$4,000 from a l00-acre field. Even
when the costs growing and market
ing the crop are deducted from this
total, there should be very pretty
net sum left as a bankable surplus
for the farmer. In several of the
counties tobacco is yet the staple.
These counties are also well ADAPTED
to corn, wheat, potatoes or fruit.
Tobacco is made the chief reliance,
because the people of those counties
believe there is more money in grow
ing tobacco than there is in produc.
ing any other crop. In some Mary
land counties, especially on the East
ern Shore, fruit growing has become
chief among the agricultural and hor-
ticultural industries. In some of the
Western Maryland counties it is prob
able that dairying and the hay crop
are given precedence.
Beyond a doubt. the soil and eli
mate of Maryland have an immense
adaptabiity for producing crops for
which there is an established market
demand. 1t is not surprising, the
statement made by the immigration
Bureau that thousands of settlers
from across the ocean and from the
Far West have found homes in Mary
land during the past eighteen
months. This land of Mary is not a
new land according to the standards
by which we reckon on this Western
Continent, but there is room enough
here yet for new blood and new en-
terprise.-Baltimore American.

There has never been any serious
difficulty in securing legislation in

men have had more influence at An
napolis than sheep-farmers. Perhaps
now, that their interests will both be
served by a tax on dogs, satisfactory
bill may be passed.
