The PatuXent Planters Club.

The May meeting of the PatuNem Plant
ers' Clubwas held last Saturday atSt. Clair 5
on the Bay in Anne Arundel county, tho
members being the guests of Mr.. Franklin
Weems, and very delightful occasion dc
it prove to be to all who were present. Inc
following gentlemen composed the party;
| Dr. r. s. Hill. president; Franklin W GEMS
secretary, Upton Brooke, F. Sn"wden
Hill, F. W. Hill, VIM. G. Brooke, F.. r.
Berry, Eugune Roberts, and Fred Sasscer
| of the Club; also, as guests, Mr.. Jared II
| Smith, Assistant to the Agnosto!oglst OF
| of the A gricultural Department. W ashing-
ton, DIR. Ii. B. Mcdonnell, Prof. of Chemis-
try MARYLAND a Agricultural College, Messrs
Samuel Brooke of Portland Manner A. A
county. Alexander Murray, James r
Maitland, James Owings, Jr.. VIM Hall,
Grant Calhoun and Robert b. Weems, all
of Anne Arundel county.
There was Il rendezvous of the members
at Upper Marlboro and after a drive of
twelve miles they reached the farm of the
host, which is a portion of the well known
"Loch Eden" estate, formerly the home OF
of the Hon. John c. Wcems who repre-
scented this portion of Maryland in Con-
gress many wears ago, and who often had
as guests ut his beautiful home in sight of
the Chesapeake, Clay and Calhoun and
Bayard The first record of 'Loch Eden
is survey made in - and the farm has
been owned by some member of the
Weems family ever since.
An inspection was m de of the host
premises and the inspection committee,
consisting of F. Sasscer, Upton Brooke
and Eugene Roberts, in their report at the
meeting, later in the day, commended the
spirit of enterprise manifested by MIR.
Weems in the cultivation and improve
ment of his farm. His Berkshire hogs,
Red Polled cattle and blooded colts were
greatly admired. A meadow, Sodded with
recently been cleaned and dtched, and al
fords fine pasturage in all seasons, the fer
tility of the soil being apparently mex
haustible. In fact, the whole country oc-
cupyng the high lands between the Pa
tuxent and the Bay is uneNccllcd for the
productiveneSs of the soil and the beauty
of the landscape.
Mr.. Weems then conducted his guests
t, that delightful summer resort, st. Clair's-
on-the- BAY, where sumptuouS dinner
was served as is indicated by the following
menu card:
Oysters on the Half Shell
Cream of Oysters
Fillet of Founder
Kadishes Chow Chow Pickles Olives
Lobster Patties Soft Shell Crabs
Roast Beef
New Potatoes New Peas New Beans
Banana Fritters
Roman Punch
Spring Chicken Lettuce Salad
Wine Jelly Pudding
Coffee
The night was spent under the roof of
mine host" the genial Mr. St. Clair, who
spared no pains to make every one have
pleasant time, and we feel sure that the
Patuxent Planters will be glad when an
other opportunity comes for them to visit
Anne Arundel Mr.. Weems' excellent
essay on what Is the Best Course of
Treatment for Glover Sick Soil - will be
published in our next issue.
The next meeting will be at the home OF
