Snow HILL, MD., May Is, "a.
Messrs. Editors:
From reiterated newspaper and in
dividual expressions in the last few
weeks infer that many citizens have
not fully examined the new Charter of
Snow Hill or that it may have been
merely forgotten that the word City is
not found in it or that it may have
been used without special reference to
the law. The omission. though not
necessary, can have no objection, and |
have been informed it was not accidental
but intended. Nor does that word
occur in the Water Works Enabling
Act-the terms of the Charter were 81
essential that no other names could be
used.
Nevertheless it will be legal, proper
and reasonable to write or say City or
T'o,rn or City Council or Town Council
as may happen TO be preferred: Yet
the words Mayor and City Council OF
Snow Hill would not be correct when
legal phrase is intended-Mayor and
Council Of Snom Hill only would be
proper.
The word City. used in more than
one sense and properly applied to
almost any corporate town either i'll
law or in common parlance, perhap:
occurring in Charters of some of the
neighboring towns and many large
cities, has probably been omitted in
Constitutions of many places of great
population. There is reason to know
that some of the citizens, not objecting
to said word, prefer the organic law
without it and though some others may
regard il rs too small matter to make
any difference think many will belive
there was wisdom in that simple omis-
sion, which however was not intended
to prevent the application OF the word
under any ordinary circumstances.

Corn Fodder for Summer.

Farmers should not neglect this
advice given by the agricultural editor
of the Baltimore american, especially
as large number of farmers are
supplying the creameries with milk
After the corn crop is planted, an acre
or two of fodder corn should be drilled
in for summer feeding. However
abundant the pasture may be in early
summer, by the latter part Of July the
heat of the sun and the dryness of the
atmosphere causes the grass roots To
stop growing, and the result is Il
scarcity Of green feed. The only way
To avoid this state OF affairs is to pre-
pare now an acre of fodder for every
eight head Of grown stock to be fed.
This amount of green feed will give,
in connection with what can be gotten
from the pasture, enough to carry the
stock through the summer drouth.
The strength of corn fodder occurs
when the stalk is full of sugar, ard
this takes place when the ear is in
silk. Corn planted in early May will
be in this condition by the latter part
sf July. at the time the fodder j,
needed. 1t is best to make two plant
ings, the first from the lst to the 10th
of the month, and the second from the
| 9TH to the 2Oth of Nav.
