A Dinner to The PatuXent Plant
erS' Club.

The Patuxent Planters Club was most
delightfully."- entertained on Tuesday last
by Hon. Charles f. Coffin, of Muirkirk.
The members were invited to dinner and
the following were present: DR.. R. S. Hill,

w. Brooke, Upton B. Brooke, F. Snowden
Hill, F. W. Hill and Frederick Sasscer.
Hon. John f. Reyburn, of Washington,
and Mr.. Edward Pendleton, the owner of
"Montpeler,' the beautiful estate near
Laurel, were the other guests, making
with the genial and hospitable host just
dozen at the festive board. Mr.. Coffin is
not only interested in his iron furnaces,
but is an enthusiastic and successful farm
er, having, for instance, raised upon his
farm last season the magnificent crop of
over 13 barrels of corn per acre on field
of IS acres. The guests saw the cribs
fairly bursting with the beautiful yellow
ears glistening in the sunlight, while
near by was the stubble field sown with
crimson clover, which will be turned un-
der in the spring for another crop of corn.
At 9 o'clock the guests were ushered
into the beautiful dining room, and for
several hours they fingered around the
table enjoying the delightful dinner which
was faultlessly served

The Postoffice Department has ap-
proved the design for the new five cent
postage stamp. The design symbolizes
the cementing of the tie between the
North and the South, and on that account
the stamp will be known generally as the
Union" stamp. 1t will show an engraved
head of Lincoln, centered in an oval,
while on either side will be the figures
of woman, one representing the North
and the other the South. Each supports
palm and is draped in the American
flag.

The Tomato Crop OF 1902.

The tomato crop of last year was the
largest on record, according to the Ameri-
can Grocer's figuring from canning sta
tistics. An estimated population of near
ly 100000 now consumes annually
nearly ten million cases of two dozen tins
each-a4O, 900, 900 quarts, or about quarts
per capita. Average pack for last ten
years was 5,617,293 cases, or about 1876,
O0O, 900 quarts. Maryland is the greatest
producer of all the states. In 1902 its
factories output aggregated almost ex-
actly ore half of the canned tomatoes
produced in this country. This enor-
nous product is explained by the general
shortage the three years, 1899 1901, which
resulted in general exhaustion of stocks.
This in turn forced an early pack, which
went into consumption as fast as it was
available until late in August or early in
September. Climatic conditions were
irregular, and in some sections, notably
New York, such as to cause almost a
total crop failure. Mild weather in the
fall harvest SO prolonged the packing
season that, in spite of all drawbacks, the
output was beyond annual requirements.
From Maryland reports come that the
stocks cost from s. tc $40 per ton. One
factory in Indiana packed only $4,000
cases from $40 acres, which was consider
ed half crop. In the New York market
canned tomatoes range in price from
20 cents to $125 case of "a tins-"oun-
try Gentleman.
