Atlanta, August 13 —Touching the fruit and
vegetable basinets, of which I wrote a few days
since, I have some interesting figures and fsets on
the “truck” farms of Norfolk, Nansomond and
New Berne to offer.
It may be premised that wherever the market
gardener has lodged himself he has prospered,
and his kind has increased about him. Iu
■truck" farming an experiment has alwajs
an argument. In Norfolk county, the
and vegetable crop brings an anuual
s oi over $2^00,000. and this has grown
a Inconsiderable beginning.
Among the Items shipped from Norfolk in 1878
$232,613 worth of strawberries, $199,166 worth
cabbage, $275,010 worth of Irish potatoes and
$250,000 worth of effect potatoes. These are but
items of the shipments and since then the
amount has increased.
In 1812 a man by the name of B*tc*. came from
north and planted the first vegetables for
northern markets. T.vo years later Mr. Richard
fioia Burlington, New Jersey, aud
bought a few acres on credit. He had uo capital,
but felt that he had a good thing ahead of him.
is still farming on tho western branch of
Elizabeth river, where he has a farm of one hun
dred acres, on which he has realized 413.500 pro-
one year since the war, and from which he
gets all the time au independent
has besides this home farm
another quite as valuable, and all the comforts ot
life. Following Cox camo others slowly, tho tick
proper transportation delaying the growth of
the busiuess. After the war, truck-fanning grew
rapidly until all the land on the Western branch
was occupied. Kauscmoad county—.-o famous
America for its sweet potatoes, was then in
vaded by the maiket-gardenera, ami laud wcni
in value to from $100 to S35J an acre, at which
price U is now hzld. The laud best adapted to
vegetables is a sandy loam, witn rod clay sub
soil.
As to the profits cf this sort of firming, Hi
John T. Griffin, of Norfolk, says:
•I have a uelghlior who served In the war ns
private, aud has worked since the war as a laborer
a farm. He went to truck farming a few years
ago and now has a farm of CO acres, for which he
paid $12,000 (or $200 aa acre) and a dwelling with
nice farm houses which he built at a cost of $4,’
000. He is prosperous, contented and independ
ent, and owes it all to truck farming.
'I have another neighbor, a German named
Henry Kirn, who after the war was a blacksmith
working at his anvil. He took to market-garden-
Ing, using a steer for his first year’s work. He
now owns one of the best and largest farms
Western branch and another
acres on the Nansemond river.
His property is valued at $150,000 and he owns
country residences in this section. There are
many rum** like these, but the most nselul lesson
taugh by truck farming is that those who follow
are uniformly successful. While few make
great fortunes, nearly all make a competence.”
In answer to a question as to what are the
largest crops made by any one man about Nor
folk, Mr. Griffin says:
■The largest crop of strawberries shipped by om
man was that of J. R. Yonng. I do not know the
whole value of his crop, but on one ship, as one
day’s gathering, he shipped 1,800 era tee of
quarts each, or 72.000 quarts of strawberrioa. This
pretty good for one day’s shipping from
berry farm. The same day he made this ship
ment there were 350,000 quarts of berries shipped
from Norfolk to New York, besides large quanti
ties to Baltimore, Philadelphia and other points.
Another track farmer sold 10,000 barrels of po
tatoes one year, another 15,too bushels of toma
toes, and another 12,000 barrels of cabbages. These
are large crops aud were made mostly on a few
acres.”
In response to a question as to what is the profit
per acre. Mr. Griffin says:
“The profit varies from $100 per acre to $3,000.
have a neighbor who sold 23,000 quarts
strawberries from two acres at an average of
cents per quart Of late years such high prices
cannot bo obtained lor berries. The profit
market gardening iu this section though should
uot fail below $100 per acre. I have known, per-
ftetiy authenticated, a profit of $500 per
potatoes, $300 per acre on cab bages, and 81.OC0
per acre on cucumbers.
What are the main crops grown?"
Kale,spinach, asparagus, cabbage, peas, straw
b&rriep,snap-beanB, potatoes, cucumbers,tomatoes
and citron. The fertilizers relied on to produce
the best crops are stable manure aud Peravi&u
guano. This section uses more than one-tenth
of the Peruvian guano sold in the United States.
Since tho Chilian war several cargoes have been
imported from Europe. The stable manure
cornea mainly from Richmond, WaAhicgton and
Baltimore and by ship load from Few York.”
Such then is the record of Norfolk aud Nanrt-
moad track farming! Aud what are these results?
Laird increased to $100 to $350 an acre—profits of
$5,000 made on one acre—fortunes made occasion
ally, competencies usually, and a good living
always—aud over $2,500,000 income brought into
the county.
Wouldn’t it pay Fulton county farmers to try
this system? Wouldn’t it pay Fulton county
clerks, or professionals, or mechanics to get au
two of land and try it? At less work and
much healthier—with more independence and
comfort—it seems to :ne they would be sure to
get better results.
Bet let us look at another point, where tie
market gardener has established himself,
study the record he has made.
About 14 years ago there were u few small
patches of land abont New Berne, N. C., d<
voted to raising early vegetables. It was noticed
that the profits of these "patches” was more, in
many cases, than the profits of large farms, atd
the "patch” system became very popular. Out
of this beginning ccme scores cf the best-truck'
farms iu this country, and New Berne and its
surroundings are getting rich.
In 1878 there were about 350 acres about New
B^rne devoted to track farming. These were divi
ded about equally in “green” pecs and potatoes.
The success attending them was so great that In
lj>79, the acreage was Increased to 459, still divided
between theso two vegetables. In 1880, the acre
age was devoted, 500 aens were given to peas, 300
to potatoes, aud ICO diversified with melons, to
matoes, cucumbers, etc. Iu 1881, the few acres
have grown to be about 3.000, divided as follows:
Peas, 1,000 acres; potatoes, 900;
radishes, 50 acres; ibcar.s. 100 acres;
melons. 200 acres; cabbages, 100acres; cucumbers
ICO, aerts; strawberries, 300 acres; beets, 76 acres;
and otber vegetables and fruits about 100
In 1890, with about one fourth the
acreage of the present year, 20,000 crat'tf
of peas (of five pecks each) and 9,010
barrels ot potatoes were shipped from New
Berne, bringing a value of $70,000 The profits
per acre on these crops run from $50 to $150 per
acre—one farmer clearing S1.0C0 on seven acres
in potatoes. The pea crop is followed by a cot
ton crop, and the potatoes, by cotton, corn or
sweet potatoes, the season admitting of two crop?
per annum on the same land.
Iu 1881, there had been canned or shipped
abont 40,000 crates of peas when 1 investigated
the matter, and 20,000 more-, were expected. The
shipments of potatoes were expected to reach
25,W0 barrels. Goldsboro, near New Herne, is a
ce - ter of strawberry culture, fome astonishing
remits being recorded there. Below New Berne,
and on Bogue sound, where every farm almost
ha-i a landing, thousands o! melons are ratted
and shinned by the schoonor load to New York.
I give below tbe names of some of the
leading track farmers of New Berne and vicinity
and the sorts of farms they ran:
Mr. Joseph L. Rhem hav 550 acres, div ded as
follows: Pecs 100; potatoes 90; melons 25; beans
20; tomatoes 10; cabbages 5. His profit is estimat
ed at $8,000.
Thomas Redman, 100 ac es in pers, beans,
tomatoes and pots toes, with a profit of (3,5(0.
L. M. Ironmonger, 100 acres, principally cab
bages and cucumbers aud strawberries, on which
there is a sure profit cf $6,0<.0 in a good year.
W. E. Walling has 1W aerts iti watermelons,
W. it. Colburn as many more, and C. F. Jonas,
another ICO acres in the nme.
The “track” crops of the New Berne section
will yield this year nearly or quite $500,000. and
the introduction of this system of farming has
raised the value of lands to figures five times as
high as they were when it was ooze menced. It
is probable that the business will be Increased
next year, by the bringing of 1.Q00 additional
into the production of fruits and vegetables.
The products of this section are ahippped almott
entirely by rail.
Above New Berne there has been built a rail
road devoted almost entirely to the transportation
of “track ” It runs from Washington, North
Carolina, to Jamesville, and is Lulit part of the

of Polymoa Nelson colored, on the 25th of
June 1880, during the mill riot in this city,
was executed at noon to day, in the jail
yard in the presence of about five hundred
persons. A short while previous to the ex

on the gallows protested his innocence.
Tbe trap was sprung and Bird fell, but aa

The rope was properly adjusted and he was
