POCOmOke Advise

POCOMOKE CITY, Md, Nov. 25.--
Some idea of the prolific growth Of
vegetables and fruits on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland may be gathered
from figures given to your correspond
ent in an interview with the general
manager of the Peninsula Produce
Exchange. which is located in this
city. This exchange operates entirely
in the counties of Worcester, Wicomi-
co and Somerset. having shipping
agents at most of the railroad stations
and steamboat wharves. There are
two exchanges with headquarters in
Pocomoke. but as one of them, the
Farmers Interstate, also Operates In
the adjoining county OF Accomac, Va,
this report concerns only the ship
ments of the first named exchange.

vegetables is now practically over, but

the shipment of holly branches. The
strawberry season opens about May /,
and ends the middle OF June Some--
set is the banner county i'm the pro-
duction of this popular berry, and the
magnitude of the crop will be readily
shown In the fact that this one ex-
change shipped in refrigerator cars to
Northern markets $4,000 crates, con-
tanning 100000 quarts OF berries,
valued at 100000.
The early crop of tomatoes, sold be-
for August /. netted $4,000. The first,
or summer, crop of Irish potatoes WAS
very large, but prices were low. The
shipment aggregated 100000 bushels,
and brought TO the growers 100000.
Tho second or fall, crop of Irish po-
tafcea Is kept for seed and home con-
sumption. The cucumber crop this
season was entirely experimental and
confined to a few growers In Wicomi-
co. the shipment being about $4,000
hampers. value. $4,000 Worcester
furnished the bulk Of the peach crop,
but owing TO the glutted state of the
markets the shipments were light, be-
ing about 10000 baskets, valued at
$4,000. The cantaloupe crop was large,
aud sold we'll; $4,000 crates were
handled, netting the growers S30.5O0.
Watermelons were plentiful. and the
shipment amounted to, 250,O0O, netting
the growers $4,000. The sweet po-
tato crop averaged we'll but prices
wee below those Of the last two years.
