Eastern Shore has been transformed
almost into one vast vegetable and
fruit garden. The climate being
favorable and the soil adaptable, the
agriculturists and horticulturists have
introduced intensive farming and
gardening methods. Thousands are
employed in raising every variety of
edible vegetables and fruits, for city
markets. The cultivation of grains
and vegetables succeeded the colonial
period which was principally given
over to the cultivation and export of
the tobacco plant and the cultivation
of cotton. The former, tobacco, was
so extensively cultivated that in
Colonial days it passed as currency
the medium in barter and sale. In
fact churches were erected and
preachers who ministered in them
were paid in tobacco and commOdi-
ties of every description were ex-
changed for tobacco. However, in the
early years of the 10Th century, the
states in the South became such pow
erful competitors in the profitable
cultivation of tobacco and cotton that
it was abandoned on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, and as above
stated agriculturists and horticultu-
rists turned their attention to the
cultivation of the staple grains and
trucks. The cultivation of potatoes,
both white and sweets, tomatoes, ber-
ries, sweet corn, peas and melons
perhaps has been the leading occupa-
ton of the farmers of the Eastern
Shore for years past. Factories for
the canning of tomatoes, vegetables
and fruits have been established in

The EASTERN SHORE
OF MARYLAND
No. )
By EBEN HEARNE

All through it's existence of over
three hundred years, the Eastern
Shore has numbered among its in
habitants possibly a smaller number
of foreigners than any similar or
equal amount of territory in any other
state in the Union. The present pop
ulation is made up of the descendants
of early English settlers and of the
many families that moved into this
part of Maryland from the surround
ing colonies. These quiet, energetic
and enterprising people by their fru-
gality, industry, ingenuity and fore
sight laid the foundation for a pros
porous future commonwealth They
spent long years in developing and
applying to practical purposes its re-
sources and to bringing its soil into a
high state of cultivation. Its soil has
been put into such a condition that it
will produce grains, fruits and vege-
tables of innumerable kinds and vari-
cites. Formerly wheat, corn and oats
were the staple productions and vast
quantities of these were transported
by sailing vessels to many seaboard
grain markets. Since the introduce
ton of farming machinery, steam and
gasoline application to various
methods of rapid transportation, the

each of the nine counties, and the out
put from these canneries has amount
ed to a prodigious quantity. 1t is
thought that the output for the pres
ent year will break all previous
records as the people have been
urged by all government officials to
cultivate victory gardens and to can
and preserve every variety of fruit
and all kinds of vegetables to help to
feed mankind in the war torn parts
of the world
The attractiveness of the climate,
the fertility of the soil, and the near
ness to the great business centres of
the Atlantic seaboard have induced
and encouraged many people from
other parts Of the country to come to
the Eastern Shore and to establish a
home so as to enjoy its many advan-
tages.
A Bishop once addressed a company
of layman of the Eastern Shore and
the State of Delaware. In the course
of his speech he said: Having seen
about all Of our own country, and
much Of the world beyond, were I
young man about to settle down to
agricultural pursuits-if l wanted a
home and all that word implies, l
would pass by all the world and in
vest my money in Peninsula land" A
racy writer and at the same time a
loyal native of the Eastern Shore has
very aptly and expressively summed
up some of the characteristics of
this highly favored part of the state
of Maryland in the following pungent
sentence: with great variety of
climate for so small a territory, and
